The 30 Day Song Challenge
I saw this a few days ago on Facebook and thought it would be fun to do – esp. if I tried to stick to the theme of Simple Minds. I was just going to keep it on FB but now FB has had a meltdown this evening, so I’ll shift it here and post…
Priptona Talks – To Bruce Findlay: Part One
It’s the summer of 1978. Simple Minds have been alive and kicking for several months.

Hedging My Bets, Trev…
It wasn’t until very late last night did I realise that tickets for the Trevor Horn Reimagines The Eighties Tour at the end of July/beginning of August had gone on pre-sale yesterday. And in the overtly hopeful notion that Jim and Charlie (and quite possibly even Mick MacNeil – for the first show, at least)…
10 Years Ago – No Regrets?
Well, you’re not meant to have any regrets in life. And of course, I did try to get “into” SM fully in 2006…but here I am in 2009 professing my love for OUAT and well, if only I tried building on that again. I’d have been around for the release of Graffiti Soul and Lostboy!…

Getting My Animal On
Tomorrow I am having my first ever drumming lesson with the dynamo that is Cherisse Osei. Can she work miracles? Let’s hope! I gotta say I’m just a TAD excited!
Mick MacNeil’s A Superstar DJ
I didn’t get to listen in when the show debuted on Thursday night but he repeated the show this evening at 9pm. I have just finished listening to it and I really enjoyed it. Don’t know what I’m on about? Well, Mick MacNeil has himself a show called Mix Records on an Internet radio station…
