May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Simple Minds are playing a very special concert for Radio 2 (also will be on the Red Button on the TV) on November 10th at Hackney Empire – AND I’m GOING!!! Row C, seats 11&12!! I cannot express how bloody happy I am. I’ve never been to Hackney Empire before and I cannot wait. It…
Us Aussie’s knew a good thing when we heard it! (Even if some of us took 30 odd years to REALLY appreciate it! Now – that always makes me sound like I wasn’t a fan then. Not so! I was…but I was decidedly casual and not the UBER DIE HARD fan I am now.) So…

…fuck it up. Yep, fucked up with both shadows. Fucked up with the shadowing on the neck. Have made the hand too small on the side angle. It’s starting to fall apart as I imagined it would. And I haven’t even got to his face yet… *sigh*
I listen to either a mix of Simple Minds and David Bowie on Spotify all through the night (and yes, I do fall asleep…I’m not awake all night!), or sometimes switch to just Minds only. I usually always play on shuffle mode. This moring, the song that brought me around from my deep slumber was…
Happy days!!
