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! ??

Billy Drops A Bomb!
So, I am listening into the Billy Sloan Show earlier (still listening now as I type this out) and he read out some listener comments about the best gig, album and single of 2018. After he read some words about Simple Minds, he went onto say “they are bringing out a new album and will…
History – And Moving On
I have a very bad habit of living in the past. Something very good in the present will happen to me – of the times I allow myself to actually LIVE in the present – and then I smother it. Hold on to it with everything I have because I don’t want to lose that…

One of my Christmas presents to myself arrived today. A beautiful handwritten lyric sheet of You And Only You by The Anchoress. Thank you, Catherine. I will store it away until I am moved in to my new house so I can then frame the pages and have them on display ???

New Wave: Dare To Be Different On DVD
A great documentary about Long Island radio station WLIR that broadcasted from 1959 until it was forced to close from having its licence revoked in 1987. A champion of the second British invasion of the early 1980’s due to an overhaul and change in musical output. The station was very popular for those wanting exposure…
Top Tunes 2018 – No. 1 – “Silent Kiss” Simple Minds
The melody…Jim’s voice…the lyrics! There have been some 333 days since its release…so I reckon that means I must have played this at least 500 times already (I never play the song just once – and I don’t listen to Walk Between Worlds every day, so hence my conservative estimate of 500 plays). I love…
