May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I had been looking at anniversaries of release dates and although we are now in July and I could have easily chosen the quite obvious C Moon Cry Like A Baby as we have only just passed the “outside it’s hot, the first of July” significance (hinted at in last week’s post on the Roskilde…
The albums are “middling”. Not my immediate “go to” albums but there are tracks on them that I absolutely adore. All For You was one of the earliest songs -chronologically speaking – to sway me into full diehard SM fandom. Pleasantly Disturbed blew my mind when I first heard it. It’s such an epic! Akin…

Mornings between 7.30 (roughly the time I get out of bed most mornings. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later…like this morning) and about 9.45 are mine.

That lull. That period between Christmas and New Year…when many seem to forget what day it is. Well, I know what day it is! It’s Minds Music Monday! But I fall victim of that lull period too. The limbo that drifts between Christmas Day and Hogmanay… This seemed apt.
As I have said in the past, there are few Simple Minds songs that I can’t really warm to. When I tried to put it in mathematical terms from the number of songs I overtly avoid and skip and just can’t listen to as opposed to the rest of the SM catalogue, it was about…
