May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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…

Lyric of the day Song: ‘C’ Moon Cry Like A Baby Album: Sparkle In The Rain Year of release: 1984 Written by: Simple Minds (album credits)
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…
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…
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…
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…
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!…

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!!!
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 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…
