Catch Me In A Dream – Glittering Gif Bhoy
“Catch me in a dream – captured all in heart / we were spending time – we were staring out” – Glittering Prize, Simple Minds.
Colourful Fold-Out Minds – Blue Suited Jim
Fold out magazine pin-up booklet with Jim on the cover. The inner blurb on the Minds is actually quite a good little blurb for such a throw-away piece of musical tat. And I do love that picture with Jim finger on chin, plotting world domination (or Derek’s demise from the band, at least).

Part three (final part) of the Simple Minds unofficial, bootleg Tour Program from 1986.
Bootleg Tour Program – 1986: Part 2
Part two of the Simple Minds unofficial Tour Program from 1986. An appearance from Laird Dash Fandango in this part. Of course, the photo is arranged so LDF is waaaay over on the left, by himself, and the rest of Simple Minds are all clumped together on the right. LDF is a SPECIAL bhoy. Lol…

Record Mirror Magazine With Jim On Cover
Bought myself a copy of this from eBay. It wasn’t the best copy (but I only got it for £1 so I can’t really complain) but I’ve done my best to clean it up and give it a big old scan (not the full size scan here – Tumblr limits pictures sizes). I don’t know…
iPad Mini Screens…
My new iPad Mini is now ready for use 😉
La Dusseldorf – Rheinita
First time I ever heard this was earlier in the year when Iggy Pop played it on his radio show. It was so beautiful, I cried. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I’d heard in a long time (minus some Simple Minds songs, obvs.). I really do need La Dusseldorf in my life!
