May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I never thought I’d find her. I thought she was gone. Every fan of Simple Minds had seen her work – whether they were aware of it or not. Some of the most iconic images taken of the band during their early days are her work. This one below (the image ON the bus, not…
And seemingly asks him the same old questions everyone else does. So let’s hear the story about “Don’t You” for the fifty gazillionth time! *rolls eyes* I mean…YES, I’ll tune in and listen. Probably even record the thing so it stays here on the blog. Who knows? There might be a surprise or two? But…well,…
Another gig shared by Art & Talk on YouTube. I started listening to it last night but started to drift off to sleep. But I came around again long enough to hear Jim’s deliver of the second verse in Celebrate “she rag doll / she she she keeps him so warm”. OMG – that line…
Well, that’s tonight’s gig sorted. Fire up the TARDIS…get to that front row. Gawp at the most goegous man, ever…mouth agape. Lol (Oh…and maybe take the odd cursory glance at Kenny too…) Oh, I dream. UPDATE: The crowd when Celebrate starts! The roar of applause! It’s fucking awesome! The bass is off-the-scale crazy. I don’t…
Off topic… but honestly… what the hell else is there to talk about in the world of SM? Maybe that’s why Jim is so damn quiet? Pffft. Nah. He’s just fucking bored to death with us. Fine, Sir! We can take a hint… if you hint at it by throwing bricks directly at it. Lol…
Jim in this picture = my face waiting for some correspondence from him… The time ticks along. And I wait. And I wait. I just wish I didn’t miss it so much. Or that he didn’t seem so bored with it…me. That’s probably his default face knowing I am wanting him to respond to me….
It was relatively easy to come up with a list of songs for this playlist topic – what will be more awkward is coming up with reasons behind my choices. Because with songs like these, the feeling is more visceral. It’s just about…a vibe. A groove of a song. I’ll do my best to try…
Today I’ve been baking a date loaf. It’s looking really good and I was having a moment of feeling particularly chuffed about it and then wrote this post on the SM FB wall. Then I thought “given recent outcomes to some of my posts, I’ll take a screengrab – it’ll probably get taken down”. Just…
On Spotify, when I was looking for You Go To My Head by Billie Holiday, I saw this… Yes…I’ll always hold a torch for Jim ??
Today’s post by Jim seems unnervingly timely. I’ve really never understood how he seems to have this propensity of doing this thing where, I go to write something for the blog …. have a theme of something in my mind and then before I’ve even aired it or posted about it – HE posts something…
