Minds Music Monday – Blindfolded – Eighth Anniversary
This weekend sees the anniversary of the release of Bilndfolded as video on YouTube (uploaded to YT 4 September 2014). Seemingly it is not recognised as being a single release. Wikipedia deems Honest Town as the lead single release for the Big Music album – but the first new music I heard from SM when…

Collectable Clatter
I can’t remember sharing this at the time, I think I was keeping it all hush hush until it appeared in the Classic Pop magazine, and by then I probably was more excited about featuring in the magazine to think of showing the collection off with more clarity. These photos were taken two years ago…
OMG! Well, Look What We Have Here!

(It threw me off my actual MMM post I was getting together when this hit.) And…come the time…HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ME…HAPPY EARLY…
Minds Music Monday – Calling Your Name
A person asked on one of the SM Facebook groups I am on – if you were introducing a current non-fan to Simple Minds, what song would you choose to play to them? I’ve been thinking about it over the past couple of days. One song? To encapsulate a band that has an 18 album…

The Edinburgh Weekender Of New Gold Dreams (And Burning Gold Memories)
Where do I start? I don’t even know! Strap in – it’s gonna be a long one! FRIDAY: Friday, I guess, is the best place to start. In an exercise in preserving energy (and money), we (‘we’ once again being myself and Birdy) decided to set out fairly late on Friday afternoon. The plan had…

Some Fun By The Fringe
A review of the weekend will come. Probably not the biggest thing….we’ll see. In the meantime, upon leaving the venue where Bruce Findlay’s talk with Graeme Thomson took place…this happened (see photo). I was about to cross the road and literally almost bumped into him. I then pointed at him and said “you’re Tim Vine.”…
Utopia’s Cornflakes – In Memory Of Robert Gray
Last night, after arriving home from Edinburgh, I was told of the devastating news that Robert Gray – a beautiful friend from the SM community, who I had the absolute honour and privilege of meeting and sharing a gig experience with at Leeds (along with the equally beautiful Chris Taylor), had passed away. Generous in…
