This Is Who I Am

Why this blog has the domain address of “priptonaweird.co.uk” is because – one: It was primarily started to be more of a dedicated site to Jim, but would encompass and embrace all things Simple Minds. I never had any intention to make it some “super serious – uber fan” blog. It started as fun. 100%…

Simple Minds Feature – Classic Pop Magazine – Issue Two – January, 2013

Long overdue to have got myself a copy to scan and share this article. Damn pissed that the long coveted photo of them on the sinking Titanic is – one: cropped and two: crap quality. I love that other photo of them taken when they had one of their TOTP appearances. Jim with a tambourine…

Minds Music Monday – Seeing Out The Angel – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration

“So when I thought Charlie’s guitar in ‘Angel’ sounded like church bells…” – writes Adam Sweeting, having just been given an explanation by Jim of the ideas behind the song. You can read a full extract of that below. I’d be intrigued to know what the book of short stories was. I thought for a…

It Was All For You – But It Was For Me Too

Let’s try and reset the clock and think of the good things. Before I start that – thank you to Sage, who commented on a previous post with some rather apt – as her name suggests – sage words. I’d like to think I am intelligent enough, and I know what needs to be done…

The Little Things That Make Me Happy

Proud of my collection of photos. Changed the ones I had on display today. Had pages of the 40 Tour Program on display but decided to go for some favourites of Jim from my Virginia Turbett collection. I want to be surrounded by things that make me happy. And ssooo many photos that Virginia took…

It Feels Like The End

I don’t know what this is any more. I obviously want it to be more than it is. More than it can be. I’m too emotionally invested in this thing. I have been for years now. And I have been too frightened to cut the ties completely. Still praying to be liked. Still praying for…

New Gold Dream – 5.1 Guitar and Vocal Isolation

Well…it’s all about Jim and Charlie these days, ain’t it? So…why not share this. In lieu of there being a full Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call 40th Anniversary post for Minds Music Monday today – let’s just have this one to compensate. The isolated guitar is haunting. And Jim’s voice… just… OMG. I literally melt…

Sardinya Sicilian Celebration

The guys at Sardinya Simple Minds (fan group) had a rather spectacular evening, watching Italy bring home the Euro 2020 trophy with some very special company in downtown Taormina last night. Nice to see that “the boys” are Alive And Kicking…It In. And for Jim, the best team won. Yay! Celebrations abound.

Perks Of The Job…

That I get to share lovely photos that Virginia took of him. In all the many wonderful things that have happened in the past seven – YES SEVEN – years of my Simple Minds fandom, few have been more wonderful to me than becoming friends with Virginia. Not only is she one of the best…

A Birthday In Bloom

This blog is positively AWASH with photos of a certain birthday boy, so instead of adding more images to that, I’d like to share photos of a rose we bought at a garden centre in Milngavie a few months back. It’s been coming along very nicely since we bought it and now it’s in full…
