May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Someone on Twitter just…casually Jim spotting on…The Tube? Edinburgh tram? Not even sure where they are. All I know is this kind of opportunity would NEVER happen to me…but if it ever did, I doubt I’d just snap him like that…I’d certainly be miles too scared to approach! #TBT "Don't You (Forget About Me)" Even…
Big news from the SM world! The Hackney gig gets an official Blu-ray and DVD release. OMG…I’m gonna be on ANOTHER DVD…hell! At least on the Joe Lycett one, I’m only on for about 3 seconds! Lol Confusing bit of info with the audio formats. Blu-ray just seems to be in stereo yet DVD has…

Two new vinyl albums – strictly in the “collectors” category. The one on the left (Themes For Great Cities) is a compilation made for the American market and released on Stiff Records, no less. The one on the right is a Mexican pressing of Sons And Fascination. In all honesty, I bought both partly due…
Recorded the only way I could think of doing to share it on YouTube. Sorry if it sounds tinny…but you can hear the conversation well enough, I hope. Makeshift little image in place as well. Enjoy.

And the first article on the agenda on the “serious content” Simple Minds blog is titled…MY HOLS?! Seriously, The Sunday Times! Lol. Well, that’s what I get for trying to be serious. Anyway… I’ve provided separate scans and one full, continuous scan, so you can choose what’s best to read on your device.
I’ve been…a bit…”not myself” again of late. This now seems to be a March thing (though last year it extended into April). Things obviously affect me in ways I am…ill equipped for.

This photo was taken a few years back when Simple Minds and Ultravox toured together. I had always seen the top half of the picture, but on a recent photo search, I notice a separate section of the bottom half. I had forgotten about grabbing that part of it with a view to merging them…
The first Simple Minds song I remember hearing was Promised You A Miracle. I clearly remember seeing the video on this Saturday morning music video program we had on in Oz called Sounds. And I remember loving that X-Ray scanning equipment in the video. The first Simple Minds song I really remember liking was Waterfront….
Lol. OH MY GOD…I’m a fruit loop! Lol I really went ahead and did it! Lol. I got the shirt made! Lol. It does look awesome though! At least I’ve helped security with their job! Lol Oh, I am kidding! As much as I adore Jim…I’m faaaaar too embarrassed to go anywhere near him! If…
