Minds Music Monday – Waterfront
Just a couple of days ago, it was the anniversary of the release of Sparkle In The Rain. With that in mind, I decided to choose a track from the album for this week’s MMM. The dawn had broke as I awoke this morning. It’s sunny today. It has an effect. I want to be…
A Bedroom Fit For A 14 Year Old (In 1984)
Several months back, I acquired some posters. I recently got a couple up on the walls, which meant removing other SM memorabilia off my walls to make them fit. Today those things were placed back up on the walls with some of the other posters making their debut on my bedroom walls. Also my amazing…

Minds Music Monday – Waterfront Extended Version – Happy St Andrew’s Day
One year ago from today (yesterday) we “moved on up to the Waterfront” and arrived in our new home, and to Scotland, and Glasgow. And on that beautiful, crisp, clear morning – despite feeling so incredibly tired and a little violated, having been robbed for the first time in my life – I already within…

Minds Music Monday – C Moon Cry Like A Baby
It’s been an earworm for days. And well…I did a lot of crying yesterday. David would have called me a sook. And Jim would have said “will ya stoap yer greetin’!” So… And…it conjures up a lovely memory too.
Simple Minds Top Five
A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense. But…SM did have the high selling Live In The City Of Lights and Street Fighting Years released…
Poster Power!
A few more recent acquisitions…. The Mecano one is already up on display. Oh, I do like to live vicariously!
Minds (Music?) Monday
I just love listening to early interviews with Jim. Just…you can hear all the emotion and drive in him. His intelligence and just…yeah. I love him. I really, really love him. He’s just beautiful. The one I’ve shared first. I mean, there’s no talk of money or any of that. It’s just wanting to play…
Mick Produces Tales
Mick MacNeil’s show last night on Indy Live was the most brilliant one so far. If I had asked to interview him myself, I could not have asked for better. He literally picked up where I had finished off with my interview with Bruce – for Mick talked about the producers of Simple Minds albums,…
Flickr-ing Memories
I’m starting to go through the process of tidying up my Flickr account. With something like 20,000 photos in there, it is getting to be quite a trawl looking through them for a specific photo. Yesterday I started with a folder of all the black and white SM pics up to 1984, today I started…
