Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

Young Stud In Berlin 1982 (Jim Kerr Interviewed on Countdown – July 1982)

I’ve been delving into YouTube searching for full Countdown episodes that people have uploaded. Started watching this one from July 1982. I had only ever previously seen the ident for the show that Jim had recorded. During the later appearance when the band were in Australia, he mentioned this interview when talking to Molly (the…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

Even to this day, I wish I was older. Although I am already what I would have considered in my youth as “well old.” On the verge of being exactly in my mid-50s, I sometimes lament at being in Gen X. I have always felt I kind of straddle two worlds, being born in 1970…

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…

True Grit and Rocket Science

True Grit and Rocket Science

Today marks the day of the straw breaking the camel’s back. I never thought a day like this would come but today, I unfollowed the Simple Minds Facebook page because…it’s just too much. It is nothing like it was a decade ago. And I can’t stop groaning at every new post, every new self-congratulatory piece…

Kerr-Plug

Kerr-Plug

On Friday, STV will be airing an interviewed recorded with Jim Kerr on their What’s on Scotland program at 7pm BST. A big old plug for the show at Bellahouston Park it seems. Very kind of STV to oblige in such a way. More news on the interview after airing. Stay tuned…

Well, It’s Going Well?

Well, It’s Going Well?

I’m trying my best not to be contrary to all I’m seeing when it comes to Simple Minds on their current tour of North America. All appears to be going well. Although I still feel that a lot of “smoke and mirrors” is happening when it comes to the “packed houses” portrayal of the arenas…

Oz Tunes

Oz Tunes

I keep getting caught by the nostalgia bug lately. At the moment I’m leaning into it. Last night it was quite the mixed bag of stuff. Firstly, I watched the latest episode of In Your Room – the monthly video chat that Th3 Minds have. This month I was very excited to see that they’d…

The American Wave

The American Wave

The celebrations have been happening later than its actual official release date (from my own research into its release that I conducted – which to me implied the release date of 15 May – but what the fork do I know about Simple Minds, right? Stupid upstart johnny-come-lately that doesn’t even seem to like them…
