Simple Minds Oz Clips – Various – Interviews With Jim – 1986/89
Here is a selection of the things that were on the Oz TV SM DVD that arrived the other day. I put them up on YouTube to save space on my blog. Here goes… And the interview from yesterday – minus the bit of Prince Charles I snuck into it yesterday.
Simple Minds In Canberra…
I absolutely LOVED Graham Kennedy. Known as “The King” in Australia, he wasn’t without his controversy. He particularly enjoyed performing impressions of Australian crows (which are actually ravens – just putting that ornithological fact out there for you) – which can sound like they are swearing rather painfully if you’ve ever heard them? Anyway….I have…
The Prince Charles Of Stadium Rock?
OMG! Those clips on the DVD were GOLD DUST! There’s a clip from 1989 from Good Morning Australia (seemingly) – Basia Bonkowski is interviewing Jim and well…just watch the clip below. Lol (It’s the ears, right?) The observant amongst you MAY see something that actually shouldn’t be there. I couldn’t help myself. *smiles sheepishly*
Aussie Ogling…
This arrived in the post today…of particular interest for this Aussie SM fan. I need to cast my professional ogling eye over it and see what’s what. Some things I have seen before, others not. I am hoping for a surprise or two. We’ll see. I hope there’ll be something good to share. It’s Kerrsday…
Curious About Kenny
I have just been perusing the latest issue of Electronic Sound magazine and was taking a cursory glance through the reviews section. King Creosote has a new release out called KY-10 (I’m going to assume it has something to do with his postcode and not anything to do with lubricant – as I think he…
An Independent Socialist – A World In Gray
Please do not be fooled by the blurb you see attached to the video! There really isn’t too much talk about the then imminent Scottish Independence referendum. It really is all about the remarkable Alasdair Gray. A man I wish I had been aware of, learned about and began to have some kind of –…

Rest Easy
I was reminded a few days ago that it will be Mr Kerr’s birthday in a month’s time. So…what do you get the man that…well, it might not be correct say “has everything”- but more accurate to assume “wants for nothing” or at the very least “wants for very little” – materialistically, if nothing else….
Jim With Jools On Saturday Night

Glasgow Gazes
Took another wander through Sighthill Cemetery today, on the way to get the messages at St Rollox. The trio of the skyline I tried to make into a panorama using software but it compresses a photo that already isn’t as fab as I keep hoping my phone will take. So I’ve left them as the…
