May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
My friend on Facebook, Sabine, shared this live version of I Would Be Your Slave this morning, and it made me cry. The way David emotes…is just too beautiful! It really made me miss him today. Heathen is such a wonderful album. I think from what Jim said to me in his reply about Blackstar…
I listen to either a mix of Simple Minds and David Bowie on Spotify all through the night (and yes, I do fall asleep…I’m not awake all night!), or sometimes switch to just Minds only. I usually always play on shuffle mode. This moring, the song that brought me around from my deep slumber was…
I have just not been able to tackle this until now. This idea first took form just over a year ago, these “why I love” pieces. They are for my Top 50 Simple Minds songs, and I was going to write one a day for 50 days. I quickly realised that was a bit much,…

IT’S ONE ALBUM! Now you lot can…
Wonderful news from the Simple Minds camp today! The release of an acoustic album of classic Minds songs (plus one cover, of Richard Hawley’s Long Black Train). The CD will be released on November 11 (the first 1000 copies pre-ordered will get a limited signed copy by Jim and Charlie – GET IN QUICK! I’ve…
Jim will be on with Ken Bruce tomorrow morning on BBC Radio 2 (9.30am BST Ken’s show begins!) with SIMPLE MINDS NEWS!!! (He says in the following SMO FB post) Then off to Japan! Lucky for some! (Look after him, Yumi!)
On the tiniest of canvases. I can no longer look at it objectively. To me, it just looks like a piece of crap…though I am happy with the celtic cross. Do I dare give it away? Will anyone actually treasure it? How did artists give away and or sell their stuff? I keep wanting to…
