This Man! (Makes Me Melt Like Bloody Chocolate!)
OMG! I just HAD to steal this bit of Cherisse’s video clips on Instagram. I’d flipping melt like the bloody choc he’s talking about, if he spoke to me like that… Sorry the footage is a bit jerky (not all down to me, some of it is Cherisse’s recording of it), but I was coming…

Minds Music Monday – Bass Line (White Hot Day – Instrumental)
I am a word lover – a lyrics lover. But I also love Simple Minds instrumentals…but I tend to love the dedicated instrumentals most…Kant Kino, Somebody Up There Likes You, Androgyny, Year Of The Dragon, Theme For Great Cities…Veldt! (although it does have some strange vocalisation on it…so I suppose Veldt is not STRICTLY an…

Penguin Auction Day
Later today (local BST – British Summer Time), an auction of all the penguins that had been on display as part of Maggie’s Penguin Parade go under the hammer. The one that Fiona Sutherland co-created and Simple Minds sponsored (and have signed for the auction) being one of them. You can see the SM sponsored…
A Doodle
Working on trying to get my muse back. It has forsaken me for such a long while now. Tonight there was a tangible inkling of it. The only way I’ll get it back is to work at it. Persevere. And geez, I wish I could paint. But I really, REALLY need the room! So…I need…
It’s Happening, AGAIN! Lol
Yesterday, on my Facebook “memories”, it was revealed to me it was the anniversary of me taking possession of a set of vintage prints by Stefan de Batselier. And to my surprise and wonderment, I heard from Stefan, thanking me for giving him photographer’s credit on the photos. Well, that credit was long overdue. I…
Mexican Minds
A short half page spread in local Mexican newspaper Reforma on Thursday night’s gig at the Pepsi Center. I don’t have the best Spanish (well, any Spanish at all, actually) but, quickly casting an eye over it…seriously? We’re still bringing up Jim’s marriages? What exactly it has to do with the price of fish and…
Optismism Vs Delusion?
Now to me, this illustrates the difference between optimism and delusion. That poor tortoise…he’s not flying, is he?! That’s NOT optimism. THAT’S delusion! Optimism is viewing the glass as half full. Delusion is seeing the glass as full and never losing volume. Optimism is seeing you can make a change…having faith in yourself and your…
A Look To The Future – Glasgow, 1980
The projection to a Glasgow of 1980, in a film made of the city in 1971. Given the fact that we are told in the film that the task ahead was quite…monumental…did they really think it would be done by 1980? I’m sure quite a bit was in place by 1980, but it seemed some…
Somone In Mexico City In Autumntime
I just had to say it. I just had to. This version from Mexico City sounds so beautiful…not even the trays of beer being carried through the footage diminishes its impact… As I said…BEAUTIFUL
