Local Lockdown Discoveries
Today was a wander up to a different part of Maryhill, walking up from the other side of Ruchill Park through Ruchill itself. I love getting to know my local patch.
Pete Still Photography – Simple Minds 1982 London Gig Photo Set
A few other fans in the groups I am on mentioned this set of photos being sold on eBay. A photographer named Pete Still is selling a set of 30 photos that he took during a gig at the Lyceum Theatre in London on December 8th, 1982. I’m not sure what kind of kit he…

Jim’s June Playlist – The Reaction
The response to June’s “Discs and Doughnuts” follows. I suppose Computer Love is more “accessible” than earlier Kraftwerk. More lyrics, more harmonies. I guess “warmer”. It’s more dancey too, I suppose. It has a rhythm though…that kind of minimalist repetitive cycle which gets quite hypnotic…not as, I dunno “colourful” as it was on Autobahn. I…

Today feels like it is going to be a toughy – so…I shall try and count my blessings and not get tired. I will never stop wishing to be that rag doll.
Give It A Rest!
To some supposed Simple Minds “fans”… the “real” ones?
Takeaway Tat
Some of these prints were done to give to Bruce Findlay when I went to the Rip It Up talk he did with Ian Rankin and Vic Galloway in Edinburgh a couple of years back. I also made one of Premonition as well, as that is Bruce’s favourite SM song and I wanted to give…
Bravado In A Baseball Cap – Respect Yourself!
He has changed the post several times now since he originally posted it last night. He likes to fuss over the posts most times, chopping and changing text as he goes, adding things, removing others. Perhaps he was right about himself when he said to Ricky Ross at the end of that recent interview “I…
