WELCOME TO JIM'LL ROCK

WHAT IS JIM'LL ROCK? JIM'LL ROCK IS WHAT MY FRIEND JUDE THOUGHT I SAID WHEN I SAID THE NAME 'JIM O'ROURKE'.

THIS BLOG IS GOING TO REVIEW EVERY RELEASE THAT FEATURES JIM O'ROURKE IN SOME REASONABLE CREATIVE CAPACITY - HIS SOLO WORK, HIS COLLABORATIONS, THE BANDS HE WAS IN, AND SOMETIMES WHERE HE IS BASICALLY A FEATURED MUSICIAN BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE MAIN DUDE.

 

I PROBABLY WON'T DO HIS PRODUCTIONS BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT FRIENDS WE WOULD BE HERE UNTIL THE NEXT PANDEMIC.

I ONCE WROTE THE WILDLY SUCCESSFUL BLOG LOADS OF LOAD. IN THAT BLOG I REVIEWED THE ENTIRE OUTPUT OF LOAD RECORDS IN CATALOGUE ORDER.

I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO DO THAT WITH JIM'LL ROCK SO I WILL DO THE MAIN "SPINE" OF WORK (IE STUFF I CAN GET MY HANDS ON) IN ORDER AND THEN GO BACK AND FIND THE ODDITIES.

WHY AM I DOING THIS? I WAS CYCLING RECENTLY AND TRYING TO THINK IF THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO COULD BE CALLED 'THE NEW BRIAN ENO' IN TERMS OF THEIR RANGE, INFLUENCE, POLYMATHIC STATUS ETC. AND THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH WAS JIM'LL ROCK.

LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER (ME WRITING ALONE) SHALL WE?
