Minds Music Monday – Big Sleep
Not sure on the details of this clip…would seem to date, by Jim’s clothing, style, hair cut, etc, to be around 2005. It’s a truncated version…but I like it. Sir is being quite emotive…

Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – The Ritz, New York – 27/3/81
A Friday night in New York City….that would be quite hell-raising. It’s a proper “bootleg” recording, with those who have recorded it (or someone very nearby) very audible. They go absolutely apeshit for Premonition, which is awesome! Perhaps this person was at the Hurrah’s gig in 1979? Anyway, the audio is of a quality to…

Why I Love…Space

Lyric Of The Day – Bjork – One Day
Today, my heart just wasn’t in doing a Simple Minds song. It is a rare day indeed when that happens. I even tried not doing a lyric piece, but one of my “Why I Love” write ups instead…and it lead nowhere. But…this is how it would feel, if I really *could* make a success of…

Piss Arf Jacko’s “Pubes”!
Michael Jackson’s pubes, more like! Hiding under an alias as you OBVIOUSLY have no taste! Two of the best songs of 1983…and I say this NOT as the Minds fan I am today…but as that 13 year old back in Oz who heard the song on the radio, conjured up such stark imagery with it,…
No 1 Magazine – Dec 17th, 1983 – Waterfront Video Shoot
Ah! The old Renfrew ferry. Of course I have been there… in my dreams, with a certain Mr Kerr holding me close to him….little expecting it would ever turn manifest! The stuff dreams are made of…
