Sentimentalities…
Earlier in the year, Christophe, from the wonderful, City Of Light, a French Simple Minds tribute band, got in contact with me about the badges I had been sent of my ‘art’ by a lady named Samantha. I told him I was happy to send some to him. It’s taken a while due to there…
From The Sickbed…Visual Heaven
This is my medicine. This gorgeous creature. These rare ones from the Mojo spread are wonderful. I have a lot to thank Tom Sheehan for. Tom capturing Jim in front of a Canadian flag back in 1982 changed my life immeasurably some 34 years later. I will be forever thankful. The other by Peter Anderson…
One Of The Banned
Whenever I see something that I think will interest Jim these days I can’t think of any other way to try to get it to him than to just….post it here. As if he would visit here! But…how else am I meant to do it? There’s no point posting anything via SM social media –…
Album News! Direction Of The Heart – Released October 21st, 2022
Early birthday present! Thank you, Simple Minds! OMG…I don’t even know where else to begin or what else to say here other than …. SQUEEEEE!!! Russell Mael guesting on a track! Fucking hell!

Jim Kerr – The Belief Academy
I’ve come up with an idea. For wanting to be able to interview Jim and knowing that as much as I would like for it to happen this blog is NEVER going to be seen as ‘professional’ enough to get the chance to interview him, then…let’s examine, dissect and discuss things he has said in…
The ‘Pretty Sleeper’ Has ‘Wakened Up’…
Reading today’s post on SM FB, it sounds as if the days of rest have done Mr Kerr a wealth of good. It sounds as if he is in positively rude health in fact. Which is all good. I’ll stay here in my bunker feeling completely “damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”…
Nostalgie Jim
I’ve never seen this interview in its entirety. I’ve only just started watching it now. An hour to interview him?! IN MY DREAMS! Interesting he admits to be nervous. Can’t ever imagine Mr James Kerr Esq. being nervous! When he was being interviewed in 1979? Yes. In 2009? Nae chance… Oh, how I wish for…
Someone’s Washing In The Shower…
Jim revealing that he washes just like every other man in the entire world – oxters, sack, crack. That’s it. 60 seconds. Done! Lol
