May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I was listening to Billy Sloan’s show on BBC Radio Scotland last night and he played a previously unreleased version of Bowie’s I Can’t Read which is set to be released on a new compilation due out on Record Store Day called CHANGESNOWBOWIE. He then followed it up by playing a cover of Absolute Beginners….
He’s not. And it all falls quiet again. WHY do I miss this man so much? Why am I so goddamn fucking clingy?! And why am I going to 11 gigs? And flying to the other end of the world for three of them? And why is March so far away? (It isn’t really…it’s just…

The return of the weekend whirligig sees us revisiting SM performing a set for BBC Radio One “in concert”. Contains cracking versions of White Light/White Heat, original Kerr lyrics to Scar and a great Pleasantly Disturbed, marred only by having lines of my least favourite David Bowie song – the truly turgid Memory Of A…

Well, well, well….maybe he DOES listen to fans after all? Those who make a loud enough fuss, kicking and screaming that the dynamic of Simple Minds was fundamentally broken without a full-time keyboard player in the fold. Enter Berenice Scott! And…we are now back to full contingency.
And as we are now half-way through the first month of 2020, the other focus is on gigs and other events in the calendar. High on the anticipation scale is White Hot Day – the first Simple Minds fan convention in over 15 years and the first I’ve had the opportunity of being able to…

It’s the one a lot of fans have been waiting for and well…it’s fairly disappointing, insomuch as there’s nothing to surprise. No previously unreleased material. Well the Verona audio is deemed “previously unissued” – whatever the fuck THAT’S meant to mean. Not previously in audio only format, I’m assuming? This new push for “edits” continues…
