May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
AT LAST!!! I have waited for this day for just over 18 months (it feels like 18 YEARS! Lol). Ever since Jim replied to me with those wonderful words about that end sound section of New Gold Dream, I have wanted to display it…frame it…put it up on the wall. I never thought being a…
More stuff being hung at Casa Read today. Finally got this behemoth up on the wall! Maybe when Jim gets back from being half-way round t’ other side of t’ world, he can officially come and open Luton’s first (and only?) Simple Minds shrine. Lol
Not quite apprporiate for “Invasion Day” (just in terms of it having “Dreamtime” in the title…and it being “Australia Day”)…but it does make me think of my Aboriginal ancestors today.

…likes you very, very much 🙂 (I wonder where he got that picture?…)
Repeat After Me Jim…

Some hear elements of Kraftwerk’s Autobahn within it…but I hear more of Neu’s Wave Mother and La Dusseldorf’s Rheinita. Because I find elements of their music more…emotional. Kraftwerk certainly have an emotional element to their music they never get…
Got my hands on a copy of Classic Pop magazine, at last. Sarah with an accordion? Can she play? ! I’m still waiting for Jim’s debut solo glockenspiel tour. Lol.
Such a wonderfully written piece by Sir today. I still have that envious feeling! Like I did when I read the Bowie biography I read years back. Through the hectic MainMan years…and, oh, to have been Coco Schwab! What an amazing life she’s had, being by his side. Of course, the bit that tugs at…
