When The Other Side Of Midnight Calls, Remind Me It’s … Minds Music Monday
And seeing as it IS now long after the “other side of midnight” and there isn’t much need to remind me “I’m glad to be here” or that it’s Minds Music Monday then… Let us hark back to BEFORE midnight, when it was still Valentine’s Day. Jim mentioned in his post yesterday a few Simple…

Mel’s The Master In “Fundee” Dundee – 17/12/1982
I started listening to this one last night. And even compared to Aberdeen – which they played the following night – WOW! Jesus! This gig is just BRAW! Mel is just playing like a demon! I had been lamenting some, over what was Mike’s last gig with them a few weeks prior (Nov. 7th in…

Minds Music Monday – Waterfront
Just a couple of days ago, it was the anniversary of the release of Sparkle In The Rain. With that in mind, I decided to choose a track from the album for this week’s MMM. The dawn had broke as I awoke this morning. It’s sunny today. It has an effect. I want to be…
Maudlin In Melbourne – Bootleg 1/10/1982
I started listening to a new bootleg last night (new to me, at least!) of Simple Minds in Melbourne on the New Gold Dream tour of 1982. It’s their second night in Melbourne (having performed the previous night at the Latrobe University campus) and their fourth night on the Australian leg of the tour. It…
Kerrsday WhirliGIG – Stirling University, 15/11/1979
I started listening to this gig last night. First thing that hits you is that Capital City is not quite Capital City. From what I can tell, this is its debut outing and the song at this point is just referred to as “Pulse”. There are different words to it, there’s no “city that we…

Save Carlton Studios Fundraiser – Auction Of Virginia Turbett Prints – Scottish Music Scene
FURTHER UPDATE – MARCH 4th: The crowdfunder campaign has been extended for two weeks – which I think also extends the time of the prize draw. The announcement of the winners won’t happen until April, so one can assume the prize draw is still active right now. If you’d like to make a donation and…
Follows In Love – Simple Minds, Toronto, 1982 – New Art & Talk YouTube Upload
Yesterday morning when I opened up Facebook to catch up with what had been posted, etc, during the night while I had been sleeping, I looked at my notifications to see I’d been tagged in a post on one of the SM groups. The tag linked to what is below. A new upload from Art…

Minds Music Monday – Concrete And The Cherry Blossom
I want to celebrate it being February already. I don’t want to think about there being several more weeks of cold weather to endure! I want to think about spring and the days getting longer, and sun and long shadows and the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossom fluttering in the air and littering the ground….
