OMG…TOPLESS ADONIS ALERT!
Just when I’m trying to overcome this….obesession with this man – THIS SHOWS UP!
Fucking look at him!! Oh, fuck! BE STILL MY BEATING OVARIES!
Thank god it is cool in Glasgow today compared to most of everywhere else in Europe, cos I’m about to combust!
JIM KERR YOU ARE FUCKING DELICIOUS! PLEASE STOP NOW!
A lovely 30 minute chunk of Simple Minds recorded in Dublin in March, 2012. Really nicely done. Fine video work, Trevor. Thank you so much for filming it and taking the care to add better audio. Excellent work!
For those of us who missed the tour, this is as near to a TARDIS as we’ll get.
Geez, how I’d love there to be another 5×5 style tour. I know it won’t happen. I guess Jim thinks he’s just too past it for that stuff now. The more time moves on, the more gutted I am that my diehard fandom didn’t take in 2006, for had it done so, I know I’d have been at as many 5×5 shows as I could have afforded to be at on that tour.
FUCKING GODDAMNIT!
“Regrets. I’ve had a few, but then again….PROBABLY JUST THIS ONE!”
“In the first part of this season, James Dean Bradfield looks at the influence of Chilean musician and revolutionary singer Victor Jara on modern Music.”
JDB talks to Charlie during the podcast. Of interest to many of us SM fans, no doubt. Link to the podcast below.
Yeah, just going to call these video uploads this now. Lol.
Enjoy. By the way – previous week’s walking was about 30km – so with another 10km before the end of this week I should get around the same amount in.
My video reply to Jim’s August playlist as well as what minimal stuff I’ve been currently listening to.
Also, with the mention of Stevie Wonder, I obviously meant the album Hotter Than July and not “Master Blaster”. I don’t know why I was calling the album Master Blaster. Silly fool!
Recorded this morning (Sunday)
I haven’t listened to it myself, yet. That will wait until later tonight as I settle to bed (it is usually when I do my listening to music. Haven’t been listening to much lately, in all honesty. I may just play one or two songs in a whole day). Some songs are unfamiliar to me and will be debut hearings for me personally. It’s great when someone can expose you to something entirely new to you. My friend, Michelle, has done that with a couple of songs of late. And great songs they have been too! I’m sure Jim’s will be great as well. It is rare for me not to like something he likes and recommends.
So, tonight I will listen and perhaps tomorrow I will share my responses. Adios.
(Jim’s reasons for his choices can be viewed via the various Simple Minds social media. Facebook is the best place to view it.)
….can be gold.
I wrote this about this one on my Priptona Art FB page…
Don’t know whether the “mojo” is back…but if not, well…I just love that clip and it usually ends up inspiring something in me. And I just love that little action he makes right at the point he says “gold of day” in that clip. Closes his eyes, his brow furrows, his lips purse, puts his arms together, closes his hands into a grasping fist and softly beats them to his chest and then delivers that line (albeit miming it).
It’s just a beautiful little nano second of time…
Now, I don’t normally name fellow SM fans commenting and sharing things on SM groups on my blog, especially when things are shared by fans on private groups – but the Simple Minds Official Group is a public group and Otto deserves a shoutout for such a brilliant thing.
In my wildest dreams I’d have loved to have replicated this artwork with real badges, but I was more than happy with a signed lithograph version framed on my wall.
Not good enough for Otto. He went one better! He collated all the still images used by Stuart Crouch for the design of the badges and went and had ALL 233 BADGES MADE AND PRINTED! How fucking amazing is that?!
I salute you, Otto! That’s fabulous work, my friend. Well done!
If I could have just ONE of those badges, it would be the one towards the top left of the heart – a still of Jim from Top Of The Pops – of their debut on it performing Promised You A Miracle. Jim’s in “the jaiket”. Delicious!
