Kerrsday Thursday – Rarities – Super Slim Jim

   My friend Moonie thinks I’m nuts for liking this picture…but there’s just something about it. He *does* look VERY thin in it…but he also looks quite relaxed and happy. Natural. Composed. The way he’s holding his hands…I love that! And, as shallow as it is…I do love a slim Jim. I’ve liked all my…

Vinyl Days

When at home, back in the UK, perhaps once a fortnight or there abouts I’d have a “vinyl day”. It would mostly comprise of my newly acquired Simple Minds vinyl, but not exclusively.  I am missing those days. There’s a ritual, almost, to playing vinyl. Switching your tech on. Checking it is all in good…

Jim on Absolute Radio – Show 2

It was a lovely mix this week (week one was great too, and it’s only now do I realise I should have done a review of it. I’ll do one later today, perhaps). There was a bit of everything. Sheer get-up-out-of-your-chair-and-have-a-big-old-dance with Nutbush City Limits. A 1990s protest and celebration of mediocrity and modernity from…

Why I Love…Neon Cowboys

It feels rather unique to me, as a Simple Minds song. It’s like very soft blues. It’s very quiet. I really like the melody and pace of it. But this one really is all about the lyrics…and Jim. A soft and sometimes husky voice, esp. on those “neon city cowboys” lines, and that lovely falsetto…

Lyric Of The Day – Dead Vandals

Actually a Johnny And The Self Abusers track (pre- Simple Minds). Lyrics deciphered myself so may not be correct, but this is what I hear, so I hope I’m right. If anyone knows otherwise (Jim? If you have ever come to this trashy, sycophantic blog. Lol), please feel free to correct me!     Lyric of…

Kerrsday Thursday – Fashion Victim Jim – Tramp Chic?

    I’ve never really understood the look he’s trying to pull off here. I refer to it as “tramp chic”, as he is wearing trousers that seem at least 3 sizes too big for him! In the first photo…a crop top. A CROP TOP!!! I don’t think I’ve seen another man in a crop top…ever!…

Kerrsday Thursday – Fashion Victim Jim – Mid 80s Awful Suit

   Possibly the most unflattering pair of trousers he’s ever worn. The jacket isn’t much better! Worst suit EVER! The mid 1980s had A LOT to answer for, fashion wise.  And Charlie’s wearing trousers with foot straps! OMG! Just…no!!!

Kerrsday Thursday – Fashion Victim Jim – Jammies?

   I’m being a bit harsh, I know…but he does look like he’s in his JimJams. Lol…big old toggle cord on those trousers…or is it on the top? Think I need to have a REAL CLOSE inspection… I am a dirty, dirty, smutty cow! 😉 Also…he *does* look like he’s holding an invisible baseball bat….

Lyric Of The Day – No Cure

   Lyric of the day Song: No Cure Album: Life In A Day Year of release: 1979 Words: Jim Kerr As talked about in a post yesterday, I have gone from decidedly “meh” with this song for over 18 months, to “Bloody hell – I love this track!” in the past few days and it…
