May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
From the latest edition of Long Live Vinyl. A timely nod to Pripton. I guess he’s the reason this blog exists after all… Personally, I still think Dead Vandals was the better song, but was obviously less ‘punk’ in the strictest musical notation terms. Thank god it was the B Side at least.
I’m not really sure what *is* left? This site has become stagnant. Gigs are on hold. There is NOTHING coming from the official channels from Simple Minds – now suddenly after 9 years on Facebook is now being referred to as just “Simple Minds” rather than “Simple Minds Official”. Another nail in the coffin? Another…
OD-ing on this sweaty, snake-hipped absolute sex god adonis. Gorgeousness of Glasgow. I just…need him today. You make it go away, and you make it worse all at the same time. I adore you, and I don’t care if you think me a lunatic. Well, I do. And you no doubt do. So be it….
At last! Some more rescheduled date information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As follows: These are mostly for German, French and other continental dates that were imminent, as well as the UK and Irish dates too.

Some are reminiscing about Street Fighting Years, which is all well and good…
Just been trying to keep myself entertained while being bailed up at home. Been doing bits every day. Jim. Charlie. Now Ged. I’d like to think I have good enough photos to make a piece for every member of the band, but think I’ll struggle for Berenice and Cherisse. They’re just too far back from…
Some felt the need to diss the man and wonder what his purpose is in the band when someone shared a pictured of Gordy Goudie on SMOG. If you don’t see his purpose, more fool you! He was partly responsible for THIS, for one. And Jim’s voice on this is just beautiful. I love the…

After show two I hung around the stage to see if a setlist might be on offer. After about 10 minutes I decided to give up. But before leaving the venue I thought “I’ll go over to GG and say goodnight.” “How was it?”, he asked. “Amazing!”, I said. “Did you get to see both…
