May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A very interesting post from Jim this morning. An amazing little insight into how his mind ticks. I have spoken so much about the imagery that Simple Minds songs conjure up for me…in me, that it was fascinating to hear that the wordsmith himself has…well, what must be “alternate” imagery (unless it does derive from…
A complete set of these now with photography credit. I saw the other two going around, but not the first of the three. I love how cheesy these ones are. What made him pose like that, I wonder? Was it under photographers instruction? The same guy took the other photo too…the one of Jim “touching…
My friend, Jim, shared this with me (yes, I have a friend called Jim – I’d like to think I have TWO friends called Jim – one could very definitely become a “friend with benefits” – if he wanted to. God, do I wish! If I would ever be so brazen as to even suggest…
Jim linked to a little clip from Radio 4 about the nation’s “Desert Island Disc” – the British public’s most popular choice was Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. And it would be on his own list, he said. I had heard in the past that he listens to it most mornings. Well, in the past…
I really do love this Countdown episode so much – and I keep hoping, dreaming and praying that a clean copy of it will be repeated on Rage when they do the January Countdown repeats. I wished SSOO hard for it to be repeated while I was out there last year, but alas. This part…
My boys in picture disc form. My one possession I brought with me when I moved over from Oz – my Fame ’90 picture disc, with my beautiful display of my Jim Kerr picture discs. I have one spare. It can be made into another clock. I’d love to have my own Jim Kerr clock….
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. I do love Charlie’s guitar solo SSOO much. And they’ve used it twice in this mix! That line! “Screaming edge of light / shines so,…

The store is back…with very limited stocks. Nothing has a lyric printed. No song titles, album titles. Nada. Zip. So it better bloody be okay. I may hear back from BMG by about 2020, I’m guessing. In the meantime, I feel that all dynamic is gone from the Simple Minds stuff I was selling. (It…
