Big Chief Baldilocks…
Because…this is the version of Jim I saw in dream number one this morning. (Sorry, Jim! You know I love you.)

Minds Music Monday – Midnight Walking A2A Remix
Jim loves the Johnson Somerset Mix (many of us are also) – and it is awesome…but he neglects the poor, unloved A2A Mix :-(( He must have loved it at SOME point! It was on the single release of Midnight Walking after all. There also doesn’t appear much love for it on YT either, so…

Dream In Those Dreams…
Dreams of Sir are like buses (buses with wildly sporadic timetables)… You wait over 12 months for one and you get a BOGOF! The previous dream before these two was really quite a nice fantasy. I will not go into too much detail…but suffice it to say it was really rather pleasant (but not sexually…
And…This Is Why I Love Him
Jim shared a post yesterday of a musician called “Leæther Strip”. He had reworked/covered several SM songs and had them in a EP on Bandcamp he called Reptile Man Drop. You can listen to the EP here – Reptile Man Drop by Leæther Strip. The man behind it is called Claus Larsen and later last evening…
Why I Love…70 Cities As Love Brings The Fall
Firstly that little playful synth at the beginning. Almost like a little jingle. Then, just such GRINDING ax work from Charlie. One long grinding chord. I always think it sounds like an angry cow mooing loudly. Lol. I know! And each time it grinds, I join in “MOOOOOOO!!”. And after each guitar grind, a thwacking…

Keep Trying Today…
I keep trying to make it happen today! Still can’t get this left eye (Jim’s left eye) good. I can’t place the pupil correctly so that he is looking upwards. This attempt certainly looks my realistic than the first one I did of this pic of him. Nose is MUCH better. Lips are now the…
Pimp My Sir. Lol
Tried working on perspectives today. Tried to do a whole A3 sized image today. Over ambitious, really. Jim’s face itself is fairly good, I think. Tried a picture with him open lipped today. The teeth are…as with the mouth…something I need to work on! Noses are getting better. Definitely learning “less is more” when it…
Shooting For The Moon…
The art I make doesn’t ALWAYS have to be about Simple Minds, Jim Kerr, David Bowie, or birds (but they are the things that make my life good). It can just be a thought…a philosophy…a mantra…a belief. A need for self-belief and positivity. And it then turns full circle – because I do believe this…
NGD Box Set Review
Originally shared on Twitter… Rather harsh on Sparkle towards the end – and to SM themselves – a bit prematurely…but it is IMPOSSIBLE to deny this magic and aura New Gold Dream pocesses. More and more I believe the title of the album sees Jim as an oricle, because it is FAR TOO APT a…
The Curious Case Of The Deleted YouTube Channel…
Tonight there appeared a YouTube channel called “Simple Minds Rare and Demo’s”[sic] It seemingly had several songs on it. I got to hear one. An outtake demo from the Street Fighting Years album called People Stand Up Again. I would have dearly loved to have seen and/or heard what else was on offer…but alas, I…
