The American at 44 – A Song That Never Loses Its Appeal (or relevance)

The American at 44 – A Song That Never Loses Its Appeal (or relevance)

Next Thursday sees the 44th anniversary of the release of ‘The American’ as the first single produced by Simple Minds under then new record label, Virgin Records. Coincidentally, it’s the eve of the start of the U.S. leg of the band’s continuing Global Tour – which for this part of the tour appears to be…

And The Good News Is – Some People Measure Success Differently

And The Good News Is – Some People Measure Success Differently

“I am mightier than most. I am ‘the big I am’.” This self-congratulatory twaddle increasingly gets on my wick. You know, someone with a good measure of humility would just acknowledge that it was the 30th anniversary of the album’s release without all of this “we grew a backbone and did what most people can…

Minds Music Monday – Forever ‘Team Veldt’ – Happy Anniversary Real To Real Cacophony

Minds Music Monday – Forever ‘Team Veldt’ – Happy Anniversary Real To Real Cacophony

It’s been a while since I did a post for MMM and I’m thinking about the anniversary of Real To Real Cacophony this week. It’s the 44th anniversary is this incredibly uniquely original gem of an album from Simple Minds. The only regret I have now when it comes to getting my SM tattoos is…

Minds Music Monday – More Is More – Anniversaries for: Promised You A Miracle, Life In A Day and Cry

Minds Music Monday – More Is More – Anniversaries for: Promised You A Miracle, Life In A Day and Cry

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…

Minds Music Monday: 18-18 and The Early Years 1977-1978 CD Anniversary

Minds Music Monday: 18-18 and The Early Years 1977-1978 CD Anniversary

One of the early sought-after ‘wants’ on my list of SM memorabilia was to secure myself a copy of the Early Years CD. I didn’t go all-out to secure a copy. Thankfully there were uploads to YouTube of the individual tracks that I could listen to. I desired a copy simply for its collectability. I…

Minds Music Monday – Happy Anniversary Up On The Catwalk

Minds Music Monday – Happy Anniversary Up On The Catwalk

Released 39 years ago this week (anniversary coming up on March 12th) is the second single from Sparkle In The Rain, Up On The Catwalk. After Waterfront, this was one of the first Simple Minds songs that I truly took any notice of. I think it was the video that captured me more than anything….

Happy Anniversary! 45 years Of Live Minds!

Happy Anniversary! 45 years Of Live Minds!

It seems as if more often than no that the 17th January (in my experience) here in Glesga seems to be a lovely sunny day. Always cold, mind! But invariably sunny. What it was like in 1978, I cannot tell you. No doubt equally as cold as it is today. A newly formed band of…

Seven Years – It Was All In That One Sentence…

Seven Years – It Was All In That One Sentence…

That sentence being, “Well, I might make it a poster on my studio wall also!”. I can’t tell you what that sentence did to me! Just waking up at my mum’s house and seeing the post and the way my heart pounded away. Silly really. It had been a long time since something had made…

Five Years And A Day Apart – Anniversaries Are Like Buses

Five Years And A Day Apart – Anniversaries Are Like Buses

Today the official David Bowie social media said that the Jean Genie is 50 years old today. And tomorrow, the band who named themselves after a line from the song “He’s so simple-minded he can’t drive his module” (aka Simple Minds) will be 45 years old! Happy Anniversary to two of the best things in…
