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…
Field Music – Orion From The Street
In Jim’s post today he talked about The Beatles track Tomorrow Never Knows. Now whenever it gets mentioned I think of this. When it was released, someone left a comment on the Field Music Facebook post saying “it has a Tomorrow Never Knows vibe to it”. When I listened to the track again, I could…

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…

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….
