Minds Music Monday – Midnight Walking A2A Remix
Jim loves the Johnson Somerset Mix (many of us are also) – and it is awesome…but he neglects the poor, unloved A2A Mix :-(( He must have loved it at SOME point! It was on the single release of Midnight Walking after all. There also doesn’t appear much love for it on YT either, so…

Dream In Those Dreams…
Dreams of Sir are like buses (buses with wildly sporadic timetables)… You wait over 12 months for one and you get a BOGOF! The previous dream before these two was really quite a nice fantasy. I will not go into too much detail…but suffice it to say it was really rather pleasant (but not sexually…

An outtake demo from the Street Fighting Years album called People Stand Up Again. I would have dearly loved to have seen and/or heard what else was on offer…but alas, I…

Time To Cry (And Rob A Bank!)
Full details of gigs at Simple Minds web site Could have gone over to Adelaide for the McLaren Vale gig. Have NEVER been to the Hordern Pavilion for a gig :-(( And I probably could have gone to the Hunter Valley too – if it had all been THIS YEAR! But, there you go :-/…
I Officially Want To Cry!
Now…if this had been 12 months ago? I would have been OVER THE MOON!!! But, it isn’t. It’s now…and I can’t afford to go back :-(((
