Minds Music Monday – Hunter And The Hunted – Someone Somewhere In Summertime – OGWT 1982
The footage has been dated on the YT upload as 1983, but it’s definitely 1982. Mark Ellen even alludes to New Gold Dream being a new album. I mean, yes, it still would be deemed that in early 1983 but if I look at Dream Giver Redux, It shows that the OGWT performance was recorded…
Minds Music Monday – First You Jump
It’s just beautiful! It really is beautiful. “Becoming what you’re meant to.” The sentiment of it. The lyrics. You know what I’m like. The lyrics always hit me. Geez…I’m nearly blubbing here!
Minds Music Monday – Blindfolded – Eighth Anniversary
This weekend sees the anniversary of the release of Bilndfolded as video on YouTube (uploaded to YT 4 September 2014). Seemingly it is not recognised as being a single release. Wikipedia deems Honest Town as the lead single release for the Big Music album – but the first new music I heard from SM when…

Minds Music Monday – Calling Your Name
A person asked on one of the SM Facebook groups I am on – if you were introducing a current non-fan to Simple Minds, what song would you choose to play to them? I’ve been thinking about it over the past couple of days. One song? To encapsulate a band that has an 18 album…
Minds Music Monday – New Gold Dream Tour – Sydney
The two Edinburgh shows are less than two weeks away now and thoughts are turning to the New Gold Dream anniversary. I’m going through a lull right now with listening to them. I know! It’s all a very sad state of affairs, isn’t it? For nearly 8 years I listened to them every single day….

Temporary Hiatus – Minds Music Monday – Big Sleep
Not much will be happening here on the blog for the next week as I have to knuckle down for my next uni assignment. Demotivation is starting to rear its ugly head and I need to try and deal with that. So here’s an apt Minds Music Monday choice. I chose this clip because Jim…

Minds Music Monday – Hunter And The Hunted – Australia, 1982
There’s a recording I have from Sydney but there is one on YT from Melbourne – same tour, around 10 days apart. To me, when I listen to both these recordings, Jim sounds thoroughly exhausted – especially on both recordings of Hunter And The Hunted – and they both are placed early in the set….

Minds Music Monday … Is On Temporary Hiatus
I have to concentrate on my study and I can post things as and when, but when it comes to something like MMM, and in particular the dedication I put towards it for the SAF/SFC 40th anniversary posts – I just don’t have the time to dedicate to that right now. So, for now, as…

Minds Music Monday – Superman v Supersoul
The weather over the weekend has been glorious and continues to be wonderfully sunny, if not still a wee bit cold. I am looking forward to warmer days. The sun has been lovely and thank god that, it least as hours of sun is concerned, spring has sprung. Those rays just need to be a…
