Well, Hello New Iva And Jim Photo!
1981 Never looked better! Jeez! Just when I thought I saw all I would ever see from those Roadrunner magazine photos – along comes THIS one shared on Icehouse’s social media earlier today! How beautiful!

Minds Music Monday – 110Berlin Extended Mixes on YouTube
I have been delving into the extended mixes offered by the YouTube channel 110Berlin and their output is getting very good indeed. It has taken me a little while to catch up with their output since my previous post. Sometimes, some things still don’t quite hit the mark, but of the mixes I have listened…

Peter Anderson Photos
I started following Peter Anderson on Instagram from being in contact with Malcolm Garrett concerning his artwork during his earliest time with Simple Minds when hired for the artwork for Sons And Fascination and the corresponding singles released around that…and various other releases coinciding, etc. In recent days, Peter has been sharing some photos taken…
Minds Music Monday – The American Extended
I’m up early this morning, in readiness for the final stint of study and assignment work. Uni breaks up for the summer officially on Thursday. I didn’t expect to have any headspace for this week’s MMM but I have a few minutes up my sleeve while I down my first morning coffee. On pondering what…

Minds Music Monday – Life In Oils 2023 Extended Version
If you know me, you know my love for Life In Oils. All of that heavy breathing and panting from Jim at the start of it is just sssooo bloody sexy! This mix has been nicely done. They haven’t overcooked it and the adding of the drums has really lifted it. In my DREAMS stuff…

The ‘Best’ Years? The Bone Of Contention…
But … is he right? This guy gets some factual information wrong, and I disagree on certain aspects, but 100% agree with others. Overall, he makes some really good points. See what you think. I had been thinking about sharing this video after the past 24 hours. Jim’s post today just compounded my decision to…

Minds Music Monday – Celebrate
I have no exact date for this, for as much as I try and have some knowledge of release dates and things, I am really not as much of a Simple Minds anorak as some others are. I was struggling to choose something for MMM this week, so I went searching via release date. I…
Belated Kerrsday – Goodies In The Post This Morning
These arrived from Virginia this morning. Jim smiling was just the sunshine I needed. I’ve had two hours sleep and I’m just about to fall behind with my coursework in spite of all the study I’ve been doing (oops, uni talk! That’s what the other blog is for, Prip!) – an afternoon siesta beckons. In…

Minds Music Monday – Vocal Intonations Exemplified
I think I’ve come to understand one of the main reasons why I love Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call so much. Firstly, musically, it just progresses so beautifully. There is that undercurrent connective theme of travel, linked by the musical stamps of Derek Forbes’s fabulous bass lines, Mick MacNeil’s synth riffs and melodies and those…

Minds Music Monday – Seductively Celebratory At The Whisky A Go-Go, LA – 1981
I know! I should be concentrating on all things Direction Of The Heart right now. And trust me, my brain has not tuned out of the album, yet. Nearly all the songs from the album are jostling for position as the latest earworm. They are all on constant rotation in my head, playing non stop!…
