May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Sometimes it comes really easy and after just a short play…something develops, takes shape and is there before I know it. Other times (like tonight)…I build layer upon layer upon layer…add things, remove things, change things. Get a sense of what I want, but lose perspective trying to find it. That…nothing ever is quite right….
Echo And The Funnymen?! Lol – brilliant typo. A great set of photos with the review. All credit to Scott Sandberg. Click on the wonderful image of Jim to see the rest and read the short review. This man… *sigh*
A great “showcase” montage clip of SM at the 9:30 Club in Washington. Starting to think that, if I had been able to get to one North American gig…this would have been the one to go to. Sounds amazing…and the intimacy of the venue! Never seen them anywhere quite that small. I suppose the smallest…
I know I shouldn’t laugh..but just, holy fuck…this cracked me up and I need the laughs…and the reminder that – nobody’s perfect (esp. me) and that IT’S OKAY to be a fuck up…and as a good friend said to me…that, maybe I’m being too hard on myself. Hard NOT to be hard on yourself when…

A really heavy conversation on the phone with my sister last night. Again, something that is better for me to say here rather than on FB (my nieces and nephews never visit here). She told me of the times when I was a kid when she’d by laying in the bath…languishing in the water…looking at…
I wish the video of this performance hadn’t been taken down from YouTube…and someone had uploaded such a fantastic clean copy too 🙁 All I have of it is a little animated gif of Jim’s funny little arm movement when he sings “shadows”, and some screengrabbed stills. Anyway…this one tonight really was just a basic…
Ged, just after the one minute mark, unleashing his inner Gene Simmons (hence the title of the post). There are several clips on YouTube uploaded by Jim Powers. Go check them out 🙂
Such a fab and fun interview. Jim was having second thoughts about the “you turn me on” line in Alive And Kicking?! After all the subsequent sniggering about the “you’ll follow through” line and your (now obvious) reluctance to sing it…perhaps that should have been the concern?! Lol And…erm…I can safely say that MANY a…

Ah, well…too bad I’m seeing Blancmange in Northampton that night…no biggy… See image below… Yep…so, if you can get yourself to the Newcastle 500 Supercars event on Saturday, November 24th, 2018, you too can see Simple Minds for their only confirmed Australian date for the foreseeable future. Ticket information can be found HERE (you’ll need…
