Rejuvenation 2001-2014 Vinyl Box Set – Simple Minds
Man! Absolute PISH it isn’t starting from Our Secrets Are The Same. Virgin – you are asshats! Come on!! You could have made some deal with Chrysalis, Sanctuary and Caroline Int. So instead it starts with Neon Lights…meh…okay. I still remain to be won over by Cry. I dunno why…I looooove Spaceface. And I like…

Reno Review And Pics By Nick McCabe
A great review – even if there is a little bit of misinformation (yes, I’m being pernickety AGAIN, Jim – but if a job’s worth doing…). I did love the bit about Jim’s splits and lunges and if reviewer Nick was to try it himself, he’d have to call 911 in the end! Lol Also…can’t…
The Cupcake “Monsters”!
The mysterious cupcakes seemed rather (NOT SO mysteriously) gratefully received. They got the Kerr “burp” of approval anyways…
Minds Music Monday – Street Hassle
Their best ever “cover”? I put it in quotation marks, for, speaking about it at the time Jim was reticent to call it a cover…more a reinterpreting. Whatever you decide to call it, it was wonderfully done. I used to watch the live clip from Roskilde a lot. I haven’t for a while…and instead playing…
Hansel In Vegas!

All You’ve Got To Do Is…
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…
The Beat Of Time?
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…
Simple Minds – RAM Magazine – Jan 20, 1984
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…

Sorry Mr Nearly Sixty…
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 🙂 ??
