Rejuvenation 2001-2014 Vinyl Box Set – Simple Minds
Man! Absolute PISH it isn’t starting from Our Secrets Are The Same. Virgin – you are asshats! Come on!! You could have made some deal with Chrysalis, Sanctuary and Caroline Int. So instead it starts with Neon Lights…meh…okay. I still remain to be won over by Cry. I dunno why…I looooove Spaceface. And I like…

Reno Review And Pics By Nick McCabe
A great review – even if there is a little bit of misinformation (yes, I’m being pernickety AGAIN, Jim – but if a job’s worth doing…). I did love the bit about Jim’s splits and lunges and if reviewer Nick was to try it himself, he’d have to call 911 in the end! Lol Also…can’t…
Minds Music Monday – Street Hassle
Their best ever “cover”? I put it in quotation marks, for, speaking about it at the time Jim was reticent to call it a cover…more a reinterpreting. Whatever you decide to call it, it was wonderfully done. I used to watch the live clip from Roskilde a lot. I haven’t for a while…and instead playing…
All You’ve Got To Do Is…
Just…wow! I could see it play out, just the way he described it. The street scene of him avoiding his grandfather and the notion of yet another dressing down. I could see this little man, tough as nails looking…but also looking quite frail and vulnerable at the same time (well, Jim’s only clue on how…
The Beat Of Time?
I suddenly found myself intrigued by the picture Jim chose to use for his post about age. The problem was, how was I going to search for it? How did he find it? How did he search for it? So I put in “butterfly watch age” and there it was in amongst the image search…
Simple Minds – RAM Magazine – Jan 20, 1984
There isn’t much to it, really. A review of a Barras gig from Adam Sweeting, then a short one page interview about Sparkle In The Rain. On the back page was an ad for the Narara festival. There are two previously unseen (by me at least!) pics of Jim within the spread, which I scanned…

Brothel Creeping At The Shops For DMs
The gang have been out shopping today…minus Charles B, it seems. Jim and Gordy both bought variations of “brothel creepers” – no more to be said there! Lol Sarah said she bought THREE PAIRS – Cherisse bought two. Did Ged buy any? Not sure whether he was alluding to being of such ample foot, he…
Memorabilia Mountain
Or should that be “memorabilia MOUNTING”? I have made an acquisition for the first time in MONTHS! I’ve had Minds memorabilia collecting on hold for some time. And I’ve so desperately wanted to add things to my collection and share them here. This is just one thing, for now, and once it arrives in the…
Minds Music Monday – Criminal World
There’s always a bone of contention in the fandom about Good News From The Next World…well, I suppose that whole “wilderness” period for Simple Minds fans that seems to go anywhere from 1992 to 2005…depending upon your taste. The “low” period, for my personal taste, happens much earlier. My personal “wilderness” period is when they…
