May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
People of the Americas (South, Central and North) – this is your one month call to say Simple Minds are headed to you starting one month from today! The first port of call is Santiago, Chile on 29 April, followed by dates in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 1 May, Sao Paolo, Brazil on 4 May…
While I was trying to get myself some sleep during the wee hours of Sunday morning after my ‘late night’ staying up to watch Eurovision and hoping to see the Northern Lights whose fantastical fluorescent dance I had missed the previous night due to my being a confirmed old fart (I was in bed by…
Art & Talk has been busy leading up to Easter and gave us TWO gigs from the Floating World Tour of 2002 to enjoy over the weekend period. One is a 10 track FM Broadcast from Amsterdam. The other, from 10 days later, is a full setlist gig at a winery in California. I haven’t…
I love learning new things, making new discoveries, esp. when they happen serendipitously. The radio was on in the background. Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) was playing. I love Roy Orbison and so I was suddenly intrigued by the history of the song. Had he written it? No. A lady named Cindy Walker…

KX 93.5 are being very slow with their release of the podcast of show number three of Jim’s radio show. I actually don’t get why there is such a delay. It’s a pre-record anyway. Jim recorded these shows several weeks back…so why does the podcast take so damn long to be put up on the…
Well, this week he started with Japan – The Quiet Life. Man, he loves that song! And rightly so! It’s very lush and synth rich. I get it. Then, The Call – Let The Day Begin : It kind of felt like listening to a Minds song…someone COVERING a Minds song, not the other way…

Week one of Jim’s new radio show on KX 93.5 Laguna Beach. And the only thing that does disappoint is how quickly an hour moves when listening to him (only with you, life moves so fast – yes indeed!). I think I missed the intro cos by the time I got on, Lay Lady Lay…
