Quality Is Key
There’s been a recent newcomer on YouTube, uploading SM bootlegs. Some I really enjoyed as they were of a fairly decent quality – others …. not so great. The most recent upload I was really excited to see was another from the tail end of 1982 – my all time favourite period for listening to…
Photo Whøre – Memorabilia Collector
Final couple of acquisitions for now. I had been waiting to have the funds to get this final two as I couldn’t just grab them all at once. I thought at one point I lost out on getting the band photo but it was just the listing had ended and it took a while for…
How (Why) I Fell In Love With Jim
For the past two nights I’ve listened to the latest Art&Talk upload of the soundboard of SM at Glastonbury in 1995. Hearing a crowd as big as that singing and chanting Minds songs – it’s amazing – and it really does make me wish I was part of some of that history. At the moment…
Death And Desire E.P. – The Dark Flowers
I haven’t had the chance to listen to it all, yet, but just wanted to point to the link for Spotify. All the Dark Flowers work I’ve heard so far I have enjoyed. Give it a listen, check it out. See what you think.

Quad Kerrsday
Why have one when you can have four?
Tired Of The SMOG…
It’s just the same old crap over and over. Are the band the same without Mick, Derek, Mel? Are they even Simple Minds with only Jim and Charlie left? They’re a mockery now. Play Butlins. They’re not Simple Minds any more. YA DA FUCKING YA! Is it any wonder I am steering clear of the…
Minds Music Monday – Promised You A Miracle – Top Of The Pops
Sometimes you DO just want the hits. I have always liked Promised You A Miracle – loooong before even being a fairweather Simple Minds fan, let alone this….monstrosity of a fan I am now! Lol And I love just about every version of the song, bar one. Deciding on which version to share for this…
