Minds Music Monday – Take Me To The Angels
Certain research has had me looking at very early SM stuff over the weekend and so let’s share a rare baby – I think this is about the best quality version on YT.

Minds Music Monday – Here Comes The Fool
Aka – me. Every. Damn. Day. (Sorry, MMM was a bit late this week.)
Minds Music Monday – Magic
Just a few days ago, it was the 1st anniversary of the video release of Magic. As much as I love the video, I prefer the album version of the song. So here we are. Here’s to one year of Magic! ??
Minds Music Monday – Springsteen On Broadway
Yes, I know! “What does THIS have to do with Simple Minds?” I hear you ask. Well, let’s just say that, for one, Jim and Charlie are big fans…that could be enough, right? There’s the “Minds” part of it taken care of. “Music Monday”? Well, there’s music involved and I listened to it just this…

Minds Music Monday – Waterfront
I wanted to share something that isn’t so obscure in the Simple Minds canon today because – one: it was pretty much the first song of theirs I fell in love with way, way back in 1984 – two: on a reflective note, as we come to the end of 2018, I still have to…

What I need in my life right now… Room and Rock ‘n’ Roll…
Minds Music Monday – Home (Live In Edinburgh, 2015)
A cracking acoustic version of Home…because today I have been trying to see if it’s doable. If I can get out there. It won’t be the longest trip…but it would be a start! Better get my bloody skates on if I’m going to try and make it for the gig!
Minds Music Monday – Waterfront – Orpheum Theater, Los Angeles
Now…where was I? Yes! M3 (aka Minds Music Monday). I distinctly remember Waterfront being the first Simple Minds song I went “WOWZERS!” for when first hearing it on the radio in early 1984 (I know you Brits got it at the end of 1983…but we were a bit behind the time back then “Downunder”). That…

Minds Music Monday – Street Hassle
Their best ever “cover”? I put it in quotation marks, for, speaking about it at the time Jim was reticent to call it a cover…more a reinterpreting. Whatever you decide to call it, it was wonderfully done. I used to watch the live clip from Roskilde a lot. I haven’t for a while…and instead playing…
