About Me

ok, ok third person, third person...keep it impersonal so it reads like a well-paid copy-writer. Cos I'm (sorry he) is just to busy to be self-aggrandising ...here goes here goes ...Mick Kinsella (Kinse to everyone who threw stones with him) is an Irish bloke with apsirations to be considered Glaswegian after 22 years in the dear green place. Let's be honest here, you Weegies claimed those blow-ins from Snow Patrol as one of your own and Mick's got shoes older than that mob. Like Lennon in the early 70's Mick supspects his green card issues relate to a complex series of plots hatched between the FBI and the Masons.Way back in the early 90's when real men wore plaid shirts and trees were worried, Mick had a little power pop combo called the Colour Wheel who delighted old and young alike (mostly old) with their lighter than air Left Bank pop. He never did find out how to overdrive that twin reverb and join the Bellshill party but the world is probably all the better for it. Are you still buying the "third party" voice here?? Honestly it's not me. By the way I (not Mick) always wondered if Lumberjacks went to work in biker jackets during this period.Even now Mick would confide that distorted guitars bring back guilty memories of an ill-advised Tygers (yes with a "y") of Pan Tang purchase in the early 80's rather than Rust never Sleeps. If you wanna hear the Wheel stuff click below.After some cool supports with Crowded House and World Party the Wheel had kinda turned , recording an unreleased album "Darwin's Waiting Room"...with a title like that we (sorry They) were asking for it !!!In the Interim Mick went out and created www.weeworld.com which now has about 15 million Weemee users world-wide. If he could just sell one copy of that fuckin' Wheel album to the Weemees he could be hanging out with Bono and putting this ol' world to right over campari's and soda. Unfortunately he hasn't quite worked out how to do that. Besides, Campari gives him hives.So to the present. Mick has taken the songs that have been festering in his left brain for 10 years and committed them to light sensitive plastic. Right now the songs are just acoustic demos, but the plan is to create something truly beautiful this Spring with theremins, wheezing celestes and one of those fairground whistles that Dylan uses on Highway 61'. The fairground whistle's 40 year absence alone from popular music is reason enough to complete this altru-istic endevour.*************************************************** *************Recent Reviews***************************************************** **********Rolling Stone".....who?"******************************************** *******************Spin" Not since Shark Sandwich has so much been done with so little Talent"***************************************************** **********NME"a spiralling cathedral of cacophony languishing out of kilter ...ok I haven't listened to it"********************************************************* ********Q Magazine" U2 and Oasis are absolutley brilliant .. no they really are, have you heard of them?
