May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Quite a nice interview – also, on the subject of the inevitable, at least Corey O’Flanagan tried to ask the same old question in a slightly different way. I loved Jim’s response to that proposal! Lol. That made me giggle. He’s always accommodating and receptive to all interviewers. Oh, how I wish! But I always…

Backhandedly complimentary? Well, for a 6/10 it’s more kindly written than the Mojo review, I feel. It reads not too dissimilar to Electronic Sound’s review, yet ES does not give album ratings – which is very canny of them! Anyway…I think overall it is good, despite the rating saying otherwise.
The best review yet. This is how you do it! This fantastic example right here! Well done Anthony Thornton for the most positive review of the album I have seen in amongst the ones I’ve read til now.

Wholly frigging shit! I’d never be lucky enough, savvy enough, etc, etc, for an opportunity like this to come my way, eh? Goddamn! Oh, well. Maybe I’ll spot them at the Roxy gig on Monday night? Lol. Yeah, I wish! (And I doubt it!) You can read all about their secret filming at Paisley Abbey…

THAT’S the title that Record Collector could (or SHOULD) have gone with for their piece on SM in their latest edition. There’s a great interview with Jim in there and … OH MY DAYS! HAPPY KERRSDAY! A Sheila Rock gem inside too (see pic)! A rare one for Sheila to get Jim covered up. Lol….
Jim talking to Steve and Tim Smith about 45 years in the biz, First You Jump, being a “brilliant Simple Minds singer” (Sarah should beg to differ! Lol. I’m being a wee cheeky cow!), forging the sound, early gigs, the gift that the punk movement gave them, air miles, Reggie Mael, and Inspector Montalbano all…

There is an interview with Jim primed and ready for release tonight at 7pm BST. Here is the link. I’ll have to catch it later myself as I will be in a chat with my friend in San Francisco when this becomes available for viewing on YT. Ah…when will it be my turn?! (“Never”, he…
After last week’s gripe of sharing the first review I had seen for DOTH in Uncut magazine (a disappointing 6/10 rating), I’ll just post this here on my blog and let the other fans seek these out the,selves if they’re interested. Mojo have given the album a more positive four stars (akin to an 8/10)….
