Minds In America Live Album?
I’m sure it doesn’t seem the case to those who THINK they know me…I’m sure I seem the biggest blabber mouth on the face of the earth, but I CAN keep a bloody secret! One that I was (somewhat accidentally, admittedly) entrusted with was the info there was going to be a live release from…
Why I Love…New Warm Skin
I cannot reiterate how great a lot of Simple Minds B sides are. Most of them became an “also ran” at the expense of a song that makes it onto an album. I would easily swap Special View for Sad Affair, for example. Others would swap Veldt for Kaleidoscope (as although the song wasn’t released…
The Icing On The Cake…
Oh, but I am still missing the “cherry on top” – the reply comments. I miss that element. It feels like a positive reinforcement when it happens. When it stops or doesn’t happen for a while I tend to think “Oh, he’s as sick of me as everyone else is! Lol.” And then I tend…
Why I Love … Today I Died Again
It’s that … cold war Europe sensibility and style it has. Actually, it’s more post-war (The Great War), 1930’s, really. It’s Christopher Isherwood Berlin. Not flappers and sharp-suited men…later…early 1930s….now more the time of “austerity” (and how relevant does it make this song now?!), mass unemployment – post Wall Street Crash and the Hoover Dam…

I know it’s late, and I might be seeing it for more than it is right now…the subjective element can work both ways, ie: something you…
The Heart And Hands Tour? And E.P.s Too…
Two proposals thrown at Jim this evening. One quite light-hearted…just for fun, because it was lovely putting the playlists together…and it could make for a tour with a really different setlist. There’s just under 60 songs in total in both the YouTube playlist. Could make for something quite different as far as tours goes. I…
20th Century Promised (You A Miracle) Land
Because when new (old – and cleaner – visually – picture quality wise) footage gets unearthed, I just HAVE to have a play around. Steep myself in the deluded sense of artistry. Focus the mind, and the creative process on – the excuse to ogle…basically 🙂
Promised You A Sweat In Bullet Miracle
You know what? Well, I was worried about why I had been blocked from the Decade 77-87 Facebook page. And I was genuinely scratching my head wondering why the hell it would be that I was. Then this evening, with a new share of a Simple Minds video compilation they had put together, I realised…
