Minds Music Monday – New Gold Dream Tour – Sydney
The two Edinburgh shows are less than two weeks away now and thoughts are turning to the New Gold Dream anniversary. I’m going through a lull right now with listening to them. I know! It’s all a very sad state of affairs, isn’t it? For nearly 8 years I listened to them every single day….

The Return of Kerrsday Thursday?
Considering the content on this blog is somewhat lacking, with a few circumstances accounting for that … I would like to try and keep SOME kind of activity going here! So I have decided to rekindle the old Kerrsday Thursday by sharing some of the phots I have enjoyed seeing from this year’s tour so…
The ‘Family’ and the Black Sheep
I wish I could believe this. I wish it felt this way for me, but it rarely has. There is a distinct and marked bias towards fans that have been around for a long time. To espouse the notion that there isn’t…? I myself don’t see it. I entered the Simple Minds fanbase with a…

Today I Feel Sick… Last Night In Tao

Summer Swag
Have acquired these over the past few days and looking forward to devoting some time to them very shortly. Already have spent some time perusing the Bryan Ferry Lyrics book. I didn’t realise there was a foreword in it and a short piece by Bryan himself. Mother Of Pearl has been a firm favourite since…
Birthday Beauty – 63 Will Do Me!
At 63, he’ll do me! (I wish! Lol) Happy Birthday, Jim! I love you! (I know!)
