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…

Bellahouston – What’s The Worst That Could Happen?

Bellahouston – What’s The Worst That Could Happen?

“Further details about their highly anticipated concert at Bellahouston Park,” read the preamble on the Simple Minds Facebook page – with this poster. It said everything in one glimpse. I screamed – in horror! I’m sure this was announced as a further enticement to generate movement through low ticket sales. I have seen a number…

The ‘Best’ Years? The Bone Of Contention…

The ‘Best’ Years? The Bone Of Contention…

But … is he right? This guy gets some factual information wrong, and I disagree on certain aspects, but 100% agree with others. Overall, he makes some really good points. See what you think. I had been thinking about sharing this video after the past 24 hours. Jim’s post today just compounded my decision to…

Once Upon A Time …. I Liked It

It was 36 years since the release of Once Upon A Time yesterday. I find it an anniversary that usually passes me by without any fanfare. Unlike April for Life In A Day. Or November for Real To Real Cacophony. Or even my birthday for Big Music (seemingly deemed to be early November these days…

Simple Minds – Special Rock – Belgian Magazine – 1985

Won this magazine on eBay. Came from a seller in Belgium. I have scanned the whole magazine and will share it soon. In the meantime, I just wanted to share the images that I scanned of the magazine. I tried to clean them up and stop them from looking like little black and white Lichtenstein’s….

Minds Music Monday – I Wish You Were Here

It’s the Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend in the UK. This involves participants observing their garden – or a local patch of nature – for an hour and recording all the different species (and highest number of each in one gathering) of birds in one hour. I will probably take part but I know already…

Before Lostboy! There Was “Special School” Boy! Lol (Pro Synth Network with Mick MacNeil)

I need to explain this post header. Lol “The Man in the Sky”, Mick MacNeil, was being interviewed….well, more joined in in a live stream chat (with a loose interview in there) for this YouTube channel called the Pro Synth Network. Basically a weekly synth geek’s get together to discuss all things Synth and keyboard…

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…

Visual Treats

Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
