Have Your Say – Just Don’t Say “Meh”!

Have Your Say – Just Don’t Say “Meh”!

Time to dissect the feedback that First You Jump has had so far. From what I can see, the consensus is an overwhelmingly positive one. It’s never going to be a 100% success rate. I’m not even sure the likes of New Gold Dream has achieved total 100% positivity in feedback (there will always be…

The ‘Family’ and the Black Sheep

The ‘Family’ and the Black Sheep

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…

Tired Of The SMOG…

It’s just the same old crap over and over. Are the band the same without Mick, Derek, Mel? Are they even Simple Minds with only Jim and Charlie left? They’re a mockery now. Play Butlins. They’re not Simple Minds any more. YA DA FUCKING YA! Is it any wonder I am steering clear of the…

Like A Hole In The Head…

I know I’ve said it before…I keep saying it! (Something Jim said about Lou Reed and amplifiers springs to mind!) But…I MISS THE INTERACTIVITY! I miss Jim. Looking back on my blog last November, it is just full of FB posts from Jim and me just responding to what he was talking about and it…

The Icing On The Cake…

Oh, but I am still missing the “cherry on top” – the reply comments. I miss that element. It feels like a positive reinforcement when it happens. When it stops or doesn’t happen for a while I tend to think “Oh, he’s as sick of me as everyone else is! Lol.” And then I tend…
