May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I got it!!!! I got a copy of the Ltd Ed 1 of 3000 of Sister Feelings Call! Hope it’s not number 666. Lol. That’ll be hilarious if so. Hope it’s something sweet like 931…Jim’s and my birthdates (or conversely 319). Lol. Oh, HOW BAD DO I HAVE IT????! Lol. Oh, it can be ANY…
Itty bitty mention of Simple Minds from a Countdown episode from March 6th, 1983. (Just quickly recorded from iPad…will try and share a proper version off USB stick at a later time) REALLY hope there will be something more substantial in the final Rage retro week next week. Fingers crossed xx
Because I realised we were distinctly lacking in “man-bag” gifs. Loving the last one…with Jim slinging the bag round the back to get it out the way. You wanted to wear it, buddy! Lol. Oh, he is just 5000% cool – bag or no bag!

Jim tries to employ the power of the pyramid – but it still doesn’t save him from Molly. Lol.
Yep, pretty sure Molly Meldrum has that affect on the hardiest of souls. Lol.
That Fat White Family song I shared earlier…Touch The Leather… All I can think about is Jim in leather. And OMG! He is ssooo gorgeous in this clip. Early days of him talking just make me go … GAH! I feel awful…because it’s the stammer (though, he gets through this clip pretty unscathed). The stammer…
I just never, ever tire of watching this clip. I hope this particular episode of Countdown is preserved and gets repeated sometime – AND SOMEONE PUTS IT UP ON YT!!! Only this time watching it did I take in that at the very beginning Jim says “Humdrum, baby!” Lol. Dork! It’s ssssoooo hilariously cringing, the Humdrum…
