Killing Time By Ogling
What to do when there’s a massive outage of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp? Make banner art, of course! And be overt with it…

The Silver-Gift Friendship
A rare one of Jim and Charlie together. Was at a loose end last night. Decided to do something “arty”. This was the result…
“Bible” Updates
Dream Giver Redux (aka simpleminds.org) has had some updates – including some photos sent in from a lady in Brisbane. There was talk of SM performing in Brisbane for the first time in 1981 – I don’t doubt that. There was space in the calendar in 1981 for them to have played Brissie between their…
Happy Anniversary – New Gold Dream!
In the Simple Minds world, album release anniversaries are like buses – they all seem to come along at once! Lol Take yesterday, for example. Not only was it the anniversary of the release of Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call, but it was also the anniversary for the release of Empires And Dance and Black…
Minds Music Sunday – Sweat In Bullet – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration – ANNIVERSARY DAY!

The Glittering Gorgeous Fresh Glittering Prize
Thanks for the fresh upload. Oh, this is just beautiful and clear (shame about the second of Jimmy Savile at the beginning).

And Then It Continued…
Sharing the things that make/made me most happy. This is how it started. I titled this “And Then It Continued…” but this is really how it started. I loved this “artwork” so much. And I couldn’t believe that he liked it as much as I did. For that I will be forever grateful. I wish…
New Gold Dream – 5.1 Guitar and Vocal Isolation
Well…it’s all about Jim and Charlie these days, ain’t it? So…why not share this. In lieu of there being a full Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call 40th Anniversary post for Minds Music Monday today – let’s just have this one to compensate. The isolated guitar is haunting. And Jim’s voice… just… OMG. I literally melt…
