Killing Time By Ogling
What to do when there’s a massive outage of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp? Make banner art, of course! And be overt with it…

Bowie Talk – Missing Jim – Sexy Songs – Minds Music Monday – Lightning
I miss Monday’s the way they used to be. Actually, I miss just about how every day would start a few years back. When I was getting into Simple Minds and getting myself involved in the fanbase, the thing that always seemed to make every day feel like it started off on the right note…

The Velvet Underground Documentary – Coming Soon
UPDATE: Oct 5th – saw a review in the latest Rolling Stone. Thought I’d post it here. Looking into what was coming up for viewing at the Glasgow Film Theatre, I spied this! When I was at the Living Proof screening last week, I decided to secure a ticket for one of the screenings of…

The Silver-Gift Friendship
A rare one of Jim and Charlie together. Was at a loose end last night. Decided to do something “arty”. This was the result…
Craig Hill – Pavilion Theatre – 1/10/2021
My birthday month started yesterday. And yes, I DO consider the whole of October my “birthday month”. Lol. Not that I actually go celebrating my birthday EVERY day in October. It’s just that once October begins I am then allowed to declare to anyone who cares that “it’s my birthday this month/at the end of…

She Rag Doll And Beautiful James
I was catching up with Billy Sloan’s radio show last night. I haven’t listened in for….a few months now. I think I got a bit overwhelmed by him referring to me as one of his “most loyal” listeners. And to be honest, I wasn’t at that point, though I would listen most weeks. But that…
Virgin Boys With Warm Fizz
I’m a lucky, lucky girl to work for my Boss Lady (as I affectionately call her) – Virginia Turbett, because I get to enjoy some perks. One being viewing wonderful photos before many others get to see them. Today I was asked to post these to Instagram with the following caption: “Due to popular demand…
Review: Scritti Politti + Alexis Taylor – St Luke’s – Glasgow – 27/09/2021
The last gig I went to prior to this was March 10th, 2020. The “two gigs in one night” show of Simple Minds at Store Vega in Copenhagen. My last gig SHOULD have been two days later seeing King Creosote at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow on March 12th but the return flight home…

The Seven Year Itch?
It’s been seven years. Seven years since I became that rabid “obsessive”. Seven years since the world of Simple Minds truly opened up to me. I was reminded of the fact of how…embedded in this new-found “obsession” I was by a post that appeared in my FB “memories” a couple of days back. The memory…
“Bible” Updates
Dream Giver Redux (aka simpleminds.org) has had some updates – including some photos sent in from a lady in Brisbane. There was talk of SM performing in Brisbane for the first time in 1981 – I don’t doubt that. There was space in the calendar in 1981 for them to have played Brissie between their…
