May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
One of the early sought-after ‘wants’ on my list of SM memorabilia was to secure myself a copy of the Early Years CD. I didn’t go all-out to secure a copy. Thankfully there were uploads to YouTube of the individual tracks that I could listen to. I desired a copy simply for its collectability. I…

I’m at a crossroads right now. I feel as though I am neglecting this blog. I’m not sure what to do with it at the moment. I’m currently stuck in a rut with how to take the blog forward. It’s been a labour of love for over eight years. It has gone through several changes…

Ah, well…look who’s playing with my heart strings AGAIN! The cheek of him! It took just ONE like. One like. He disnae “like” me today though. Lol. Dare he like me loosely mentioning “cum” – dare we misconstrue things or have ANY kind of fun with the mildest of innuendo? Stop making me pine for…

There are not that many times I have had my visage captured in the front row at a Simple Minds gig, but there I am right down the end of the row at the Princes Street Gardens gig on the Friday night (Aug 12). A very happy bunny I was too – and it shows…
Where do I start? I don’t even know! Strap in – it’s gonna be a long one! FRIDAY: Friday, I guess, is the best place to start. In an exercise in preserving energy (and money), we (‘we’ once again being myself and Birdy) decided to set out fairly late on Friday afternoon. The plan had…

I wish I could believe this. I wish it felt this way for me, but it rarely has. There is a distinct and marked bias towards fans that have been around for a long time. To espouse the notion that there isn’t…? I myself don’t see it. I entered the Simple Minds fanbase with a…
I have missed this stuff soooo much. Silly bint that I am to have done so. Really don’t know why I should have. Why does it matter anyway? Dunno…
Early birthday present! Thank you, Simple Minds! OMG…I don’t even know where else to begin or what else to say here other than …. SQUEEEEE!!! Russell Mael guesting on a track! Fucking hell! That is so fucking awesome! I’m betting Jim would have been like a kid in a candy store with that one. Jeez-o!…
