Minds Music Monday – On Hold
Sick cat taking priority at the moment. Hoping normal service will resume next week.
Perks Of The Job…
That I get to share lovely photos that Virginia took of him. In all the many wonderful things that have happened in the past seven – YES SEVEN – years of my Simple Minds fandom, few have been more wonderful to me than becoming friends with Virginia. Not only is she one of the best…
A Birthday In Bloom
This blog is positively AWASH with photos of a certain birthday boy, so instead of adding more images to that, I’d like to share photos of a rose we bought at a garden centre in Milngavie a few months back. It’s been coming along very nicely since we bought it and now it’s in full…
Greedy Intros Love Song
Someone has uploaded what I guess must be a clip from Rage airing the original fill Countdown episode this came from. I never knew they were introed by Greedy Smith from Mental As Anything. And he seems to be raving about them too. Aaww, Greedy was a fun guy. Well, he seemed it. I was…
Vlog Waffles Are Moving
In an exercise in tidying up this godforsaken blog, I will be shifting all the “Waffle” video blog posts (aka Vlogs) to a centralised page link. You should now see a page header called “Vlog Posts” in the menu. That’s where any new posts can be viewed. I may notify of a new post, if…

And what a bassline that starts the title track to Sons And Fascination. I don’t really know what the sound is that accompanies…
Interviewland – The Boss and The Piraña.
There are a few interviews I have neglected to highlight here – because my blog is slack and too Kerr obsessive to think of much else. Lol ANYWAY! Bruce has been interviewed and the result is a three part podcast of discussion. You can find the link to the SHOUT podcast HERE Also, Mr Francis…
A Ghost Of What Could Be
I think it has been coming for some time. I think I might be spent. Done. I don’t think I have any more to give. It is a heavy heart that I say this with. My personal fandom for Simple Minds has altered. I love them. I absolutely love them! I can still wax lyrical…
