May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Now… I really am not one for the rumour mill/speculation thing…but we have been waiting SSSSOOOO long…and there is just a tantalising little morsel…just a dear little piece of joy to bring a flutter to the heart…and it’s this. I hope and pray it is true…but, it’s Amazon…but also…IT’S AMAZON! So there has to be…
A fantastic opportunity…but I do wonder whether Liam is any relation to Lily Warring? The little cynic in me says “Yeah, because you just…contact the band and they say ‘yeah, sure’, just like that!” These things NEVER happen! You’d NEVER get the lead singer (and head diva) of a band doing stuff like that…not with…
Rare to see an interview conducted without Jim. I’d never seen this footage before. Enjoy!
That start. The bass and clang…something gritty and industrial about it. Almost like it’s going to turn into a Einstürzende Neubauten track! Then a wonderfully buzzing style of synth that comes in. The pace of it is awesome. I absolutely adore these lyrics! On the Dream Giver web site (simpleminds.org), Jim talks about the song…

A Sunday evening gig. OH MY FLIPPING GOD – THEY WALK ON TO KANT KINO!!! Could have better sound quality…a better quality recording exists, by all accounts.

…the fan…or should that be the FANS? And then to FINALLY talk about it openly and STILL be accused of being cryptic? Poor, Jim. The undercurrent for anyone with an INKLING of savvy has been that for weeks….months now that it’s “all change” on the SM front. I don’t want to go over it all…
These two will be going off to their respective new homes in the next couple of days. Not sure I’ll ever get any idea of photo print prices from Virginia Turbett now…having rather crazily offered the painting up to her. I do like to make myself appear a loon of the highest order! But…it was…
