May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
What a fantastic question to pose to him?! Rather jealous I didn’t think of it myself! 🙂 And a wonderful reply from him. I don’t think I really took in quite what an…”aversion” he has to being in cities. When he replied to me once about London and how he feels to be there, I…
My one little musical purchase I’ve allowed myself with my commission payment. I have a copy of this version on the Themes CD Box Set but wanted a 12″ vinyl copy too. Pot luck with what side Love Song is actually on. Lol. I’ll have fun finding out. :-))
AT LAST!!! I have waited for this day for just over 18 months (it feels like 18 YEARS! Lol). Ever since Jim replied to me with those wonderful words about that end sound section of New Gold Dream, I have wanted to display it…frame it…put it up on the wall. I never thought being a…
More stuff being hung at Casa Read today. Finally got this behemoth up on the wall! Maybe when Jim gets back from being half-way round t’ other side of t’ world, he can officially come and open Luton’s first (and only?) Simple Minds shrine. Lol

…likes you very, very much 🙂 (I wonder where he got that picture?…)
Repeat After Me Jim…

That opening percussive beat. Such a a hook! A drum machine, I’m assuming? A “motorik” beat. Some hear elements of Kraftwerk’s Autobahn within it…but I hear more of Neu’s Wave Mother and La Dusseldorf’s Rheinita. Because I find elements of their music more…emotional. Kraftwerk certainly have an emotional element to their music they never get…
Got my hands on a copy of Classic Pop magazine, at last. Sarah with an accordion? Can she play? ! I’m still waiting for Jim’s debut solo glockenspiel tour. Lol.
