It’s Difficult To Love You – My Grapple With Cry
With the imminent release of the Rejuvenation vinyl box set, both Neon Lights and Cry have appeared on Spotify. For Neon lights – I think that may be a first…for Cry it’s a return after a brief stay around the end of 2016. I’ve never really missed not having Cry on Spotify. It isn’t a…

Flickr-ing Memories
I’m starting to go through the process of tidying up my Flickr account. With something like 20,000 photos in there, it is getting to be quite a trawl looking through them for a specific photo. Yesterday I started with a folder of all the black and white SM pics up to 1984, today I started…

Steve Hillage Interview – Guitarist Magazine – Dec, 2018
This guy I find hilarious…if purely by accident on his part. But I adore him too – for his involvement in the Simple Minds story. It really was a stroke of genius to hire him to produce Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call. I mean, John Leckie had been great…and Real To Real Cacophony and Empires…

Post Tour Depression
It very much looks like Jim suffers it too. He looks in a contemplative mood in this picture by “steinmiller_productions”. Casey has taken some wonderfully reflective photos of mood and feeling on this tour. His photos really give life to a scene and conjure up an atmosphere. This one of Jim is stunning in its…
Rock Pop Art Will Eat Itself
About two thirds of the way through this one, I decided I wanted to make it look a little pop art. I do like to give quite a bit of my work that pop art edge. It was starting to go a bit Lichtenstein and I thought “why stop there? Let’s make it a bit…
The Boy Done Good!
The Small Steps Project showed a full list of the money raised from each pair of celebrity shoes auctioned. Jim came in 23rd place with his Prada boots. That’s not bad! Well done, Sir! Had I had the money to have placed a bid, we may have raised a little more. I will certainly make…
Dressed For Down Under…
I saw this photo of Jim wearing flip flops (what we Aussies call “thongs”) some years back. I thought…”Well, he’s in the thongs…so he’s already in the right footwear. Let’s ‘accessorise’ him a bit.” So, here we are! Jim’s ready for Oz! Wish I was! Short of some miracle…it ain’t happening 🙁 So, here’s the…
Minds Music Monday – Home (Live In Edinburgh, 2015)
A cracking acoustic version of Home…because today I have been trying to see if it’s doable. If I can get out there. It won’t be the longest trip…but it would be a start! Better get my bloody skates on if I’m going to try and make it for the gig!
