May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A bridge version split somewhere between the demo that can be sampled on Silver Box and what gets recorded for the Sister Feelings Call album…this is the only known live recording of SM performing Careful In Career. A song that I feel is vastly underrated within the SM canon. A pity it is so under-appreciated…

All the talk over the past couple of days about Neapolis – I had to share one of my favourite tracks from the album – and also one of my fave SM instrumentals. Firmly placed in my Top 50 of SM tracks…
A bit of a curveball this week for MMM – the stonking new single from George Porter called Futureproof. Get your lugholes around THIS one, peeps! The SM link? George is of course frontman of SM tribute group Simple Minded. And the new single has been produced (and collaborated on) with none other than Gordy…
Because, it really IS my “happy song”. It always makes me smile and feel good. Even during the worst times…whack this on and for 4 minutes, my cares melt away 🙂
A slight change this week – for what is usually MINDS Music Monday…for this week I wanted to share the new single from the Manic Street Preachers – featuring The Anchoress! A beautiful duet between James Dean Bradfield and Catherine Anne Davies (the Welsh do like a full name, don’t they?). Enjoy!
I might have been closer…but my phone is pretty crud. This footage is fab. Oh…it’s a loooong wait until May…
The loooong wait until May will be soothed, a little, by having this available. “Here comes summer”. HURRY UP!
Because…this is just my new favourite thing…
A really nicely done clean up job of this footage. Looks braw! Date is wrong (as of my posting)…would def. be 1980 as I Travel was released as a single in Sept. 1980. The footage now looks great though…you can see just how “wasted” Jim is…FULL glassy-eye effect. Naughty boy! Ah…those “sherbet straws”, eh? 😉
It is my favourite SM instrumental. I really don’t know why I find it such an emotional piece, but I do. There is just something I find really…tender… about that riff of Charlie’s. It’s short, repetitive loop just brings me to tears…and perhaps it is that combined with that end reel to reel tape loop…
