May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Just…wow! I could see it play out, just the way he described it. The street scene of him avoiding his grandfather and the notion of yet another dressing down. I could see this little man, tough as nails looking…but also looking quite frail and vulnerable at the same time (well, Jim’s only clue on how…
I suddenly found myself intrigued by the picture Jim chose to use for his post about age. The problem was, how was I going to search for it? How did he find it? How did he search for it? So I put in “butterfly watch age” and there it was in amongst the image search…
There isn’t much to it, really. A review of a Barras gig from Adam Sweeting, then a short one page interview about Sparkle In The Rain. On the back page was an ad for the Narara festival. There are two previously unseen (by me at least!) pics of Jim within the spread, which I scanned…

Thanks for making me feel about [this] small! (Isn’t it enough you make me feel a basket case when I’m standing in front of you?) But…I love you too 🙂 ??
The gang have been out shopping today…minus Charles B, it seems. Jim and Gordy both bought variations of “brothel creepers” – no more to be said there! Lol Sarah said she bought THREE PAIRS – Cherisse bought two. Did Ged buy any? Not sure whether he was alluding to being of such ample foot, he…
Or should that be “memorabilia MOUNTING”? I have made an acquisition for the first time in MONTHS! I’ve had Minds memorabilia collecting on hold for some time. And I’ve so desperately wanted to add things to my collection and share them here. This is just one thing, for now, and once it arrives in the…
One of the things that keeps capturing my imagination on this American tour are those wonderful marquee signs that many of the venues in the USA still use. It’s a simple advertising technique, but it looks really beautiful in its odd way. Maybe it’s just a nostalgia thing on my part? But I just find…
There’s always a bone of contention in the fandom about Good News From The Next World…well, I suppose that whole “wilderness” period for Simple Minds fans that seems to go anywhere from 1992 to 2005…depending upon your taste. The “low” period, for my personal taste, happens much earlier. My personal “wilderness” period is when they…
Sometimes it comes really easy and after just a short play…something develops, takes shape and is there before I know it. Other times (like tonight)…I build layer upon layer upon layer…add things, remove things, change things. Get a sense of what I want, but lose perspective trying to find it. That…nothing ever is quite right….
Echo And The Funnymen?! Lol – brilliant typo. A great set of photos with the review. All credit to Scott Sandberg. Click on the wonderful image of Jim to see the rest and read the short review. This man… *sigh*
