May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Oh, sometimes things just come about so wonderfully. There’s a jumbled up letters preset on one of my photo editing apps and I love using it with images of Jim because…he’s a magician with words in my eyes. This just looks like a painting ready to be done. Oh, and I ssooo want to do…
The list for Record Store Day 2019 (the day itself being Saturday, April 13th) was revealed early last night and Simple Minds are offering up a 10th anniversary limited edition (limited to 2000 copies only!) 2LP coloured vinyl of Graffiti Soul. There’s quite a list of stuff, of course, and if money was no object,…

In other news from the past 24 hours, I was stunned to wake and see this response waiting for me this morning. Like a mangey feral street dog, I’ll happily take any morsel I can get! ? (Can you tell I’ve missed him? “Noooooooo!” says everyone with faux shock. Lol) Again, thanks for the response…

Very rarely watch it now, but wanted to see the first episode of the final series of Still Game and see the one-off Burnistoun special after it.

A nice set of black and white photos of a Simple Minds gig on April 13th, 1984 at the Volkshaus in Zurich, Switzerland. Clicking on the picture of Jim will take you to the page to view all the photos from the gig. And lovely ones they are too.
