That Lightbulb Moment…
When you FINALLY put two and two together… This interview is at the same time as the “trouser shot”…the Stefan De Batselier pics. Oh, sweet baby Jesus! My favourite interview footage just got a bit more special…

Minds Music Monday – Garden Of Hate
Mandatory play every Halloween…
Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – Hockenheim, Germany, 1990
On closer inspection, despite how the date on the still footage states (Oct 25th); it is in fact August 25th…and therefore a Saturday. Not listened to this one myself, as yet, but will do tonight. From the opening track, it sounds a goodun. Enjoy!
Sweet Jaine…
Oh, you lucky thing, Miss Henderson… And I can only assume the Muriel in question is Muriel Gray? Again… Oh, but Jaine…I read those early passages of the Adam Sweeting book, and I sssooo wanted to be her! And…he even says in his post “I was developing a crush”. Man alive! How I wish! Lucky…
The Inner Life Of Animals
I really, really want to thank him for sharing this book. It is utterly FASCINATING! But I just dare not. “Operation Stay Away” hasn’t even lasted two days! It got off to a false start in the first place from him sharing this and talking about birds (though ultimately the post was about Elbow). I’m…
Minds Music Monday – Wasteland, Mars Bar, Glasgow, 1978
Yep…because I don’t actually live and breathe Simple Minds…and Jim Kerr is just a construct in my imagination… This version of Wasteland was chosen for the original “Simple Minds” end line… (see latest Lyric Of The Day for subtle reference, and check simpleminds.org for the background to the song)
Day Two Of “Operation Stay Away”…
And…fuck he’s making it hard! It’s a phenomenal write-up…and the thing I actually love most about him…despite all the silly ogling. I think I am genuinely in love with this man… Oh, how I want to reply. To say SOMETHING…if nothing more than “Wow!” and “Thank you!” You know…all that thought-provoking stuff that would have…
Lyric Of The Day – Wasteland
“Didn’t want to be your Simple Minds”….Wasteland (Kinda how the fandom is feeling, waiting for news…)
I Want To Stop Wanting To Talk To Him!
I prepare myself to go. Ready to walk away. Leave him be. At least take a break until my birthday…or just after. See if it is possible to give up a drug I am finding myself increasingly addicted to… And then… It’s like he knew… You….just had to bring up the subject of birds, didn’t…
Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – The Tube, Nov 26th, 1982
A visual one for this week. Their Friday night appearance on The Tube. It went out live. There’s an audience there. We can call that a gig, not merely a TV appearance. (It’s also where the pic for the “whirliGIG” artwork came from). Enjoy…
