Minds Music Monday – Past Present – Magic
Thinking about choosing a track for this week’s MMM, it’s really easy to trawl through their extensive back catalogue to the long past. But as the proposed songs to highlight fluttered through my mind…invariably harking back to the long past, I tutted at myself. “Hey, what about the recent past? What about Walk Between Worlds?”…

Happy Anniversary Sweat In Bullet!
It’s been the inspiration for a few art pieces, and the video is a fave. Jim is sssoooo frigging skinny in this video. He’s got his gammy eye and he is that heady mix of fledgling Laird Dash Fandango in his collared shirt and tailored trousers but with that bit of “gangster rough” with it….
The Rhetoric Of The Simple Minds Fan Q&A
Ask the fans what you’d ask Jim and/or Charlie and the same answers spew forth: Will you marry me, Jim? (Charlie is ever rarely asked that question, despite a percentage of the female fanbase having eyes for Charlie. None of them ever want to marry him, or are much too classy to ask.) Why do…
The Thread Of Memories
So…my Facebook feed tonight threw this one up at me. A piece of poetry I wrote. It was based on going out for a meal in Sydney’s northern suburbs with my sister to a place called Sambal. There we are outside it. One of my favourite dishes is laksa and this place were doing a…
Record Collector Review Of In Memory Of My Feeling

Spotted?
Aaaww! I miss this man more than…well…you all know. And I keep trying to shut the fuck up about it. And I’m getting on and doing okay, you know. But there are still just things that happen. Silly incidental things like…yesterday, being at Springburn Shopping Centre and seeing the fruit and veg stall inside the…
Zoom Interview with Raymond Depardon Tomorrow – Conducted By The University Of Glasgow
There is an interview taking place tomorrow afternoon conducted by the University of Glasgow. They’ll be talking to photographer, Raymond Depardon, about his commission to photograph Glasgow in 1980 for the Sunday Times newspaper. And I will assume the interview will it extend beyond that, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. The interview starts…
