Living in the 80(s) Days

Living in the 80(s) Days

There has been yet more nostalgia tripping for the band that prides itself on not wanting to be seen as a ‘heritage’ act. Yet more celebrations to do with THAT SONG having its 40th anniversary. Simple Minds fans had a busy night last night. No sooner was Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80s (being co-hosted…

The Quay Sessions with KT Tunstall and Loudon Wainwright III

The Quay Sessions with KT Tunstall and Loudon Wainwright III

It was a lovely crisp, clear evening in Glasgow last night. It’s amazing to think that less than a week prior, the city was feeling the full force of Storm Eowyn – the contrast couldn’t have been more stark! In recent times making my way to this part of the city (Clydeside – by Pacific…

Someone’s Washing In The Shower…

Superb Owl Advertising – Hoo Ha, Blah blah, La La La La

It’s one of the world’s biggest sporting events and it centres around American Football – and THAT, my friends, is the full extent of my knowledge of the Superbowl – or as I like to invariably refer to it as “Superb Owl” – as, quite frankly, I’d devote a heck of a lot more of…

Minds Music Monday – Don’t You Forget About… Sweat In Bullet

It’s the 18th of November, 1982 and Mel Gaynor is making his live debut for Simple Minds as they play to a raucous home crowd at Tiffany’s in the “Dear Green Place”. Mel’s an accomplished drummer, no question there! But he’s still learning the SM repertoire of songs. Of course he’s familiar enough with what’s…

Simple Minds Top Five

A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense. But…SM did have the high selling Live In The City Of Lights and Street Fighting Years released…

Minds Music Monday – 35 Years At Number One

Lol. Well, a slight exaggeration there. But it was on this day 35 years ago, that Simple Minds scored their (as til now) only U.S. Number 1 when Don’t You (Forget About Me) topped the charts there. To celebrate at the time, Jim got drunk in France, ordering champangne for everyone in the hotel bar….

Jim Kerr – Da For Hire!

Muriel Gray interviews Jim “let me be your daddy” Kerr – the end to this interview shouldn’t have piqued my interest quite as much as it did….but what can I say. Gawd! The stutter is still there quite pronounced. I just want to lick him!!!! OMG! HELP ME!!! I knew of him back then! I…

What A Night, Old Fruity

Well, I was freaking out that I wasn’t going to make it for the 6pm arrival time as I was still at the house waiting for a taxi to come collect me at 5.40pm. It’s Saturday night in Glasgow… traffic will be heaving! But it was mercifully fine. I still can’t quite get my head…
