Tweekly FM Stats – July 17th
Possibly the first time in nearly 4 years that my Spotify listening stats have looked like this (devoid of any Simple Minds…though I did listen to tracks from Sons And Fascination as I made my way to Aix).

The Twist And Change…
There’s that humility again… You know, he still had it a couple of weeks ago…but it ebbs and flows. And like the tides, Cancerians are influenced by the moon… Sometimes it gets the better of him…he starts to believe his own hype… And it usually coincides with Simple Minds being in Italy.

I realised after I shared my review of the festival that having mentioned TSATN video that I shot, that I had not posted it here…so here it is…
Review – Musilac Festival – Aix-Les-Bains, France – Day One, July 12th, 2018
There is so much to cover with such a Festival. I have never been to such a HUGE event. The local paper in Aix-Les-Bains the following morning reported a crowd of 25,000 people there for day one of the festival. A big old crowd! And I think I can safely say it’s the biggest (and…
