Simple Minds at The Hydro – Easter Home Double Header – Vlog Review

Simple Minds at The Hydro – Easter Home Double Header – Vlog Review

My apologies once again for a vlog review – for a writer, I like to do vlog posts! I’m just conscious to the fact I will be doing a heap of writing from tomorrow onwards (uni studies, and an assignment due next week, plus writing for the book will begin in earnest now, so yes…

Minds Music Monday – 110Berlin Extended Mixes on YouTube

Minds Music Monday – 110Berlin Extended Mixes on YouTube

I have been delving into the extended mixes offered by the YouTube channel 110Berlin and their output is getting very good indeed. It has taken me a little while to catch up with their output since my previous post.  Sometimes, some things still don’t quite hit the mark, but of the mixes I have listened…

Minds Music Sunday – Sweat In Bullet – SAF/SFC 40th Anniversary Celebration – ANNIVERSARY DAY!

The allure of repetition manifests itself most strongly within all of the Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call’s tracks in Sweat In Bullet. Three solid blocks of repetitive text from Jim Kerr, with a vocal performance to match.  This is the most Burroughs-esque of all of Jim’s writing from the period. If you are not familiar…

On The Cover Art – The Men Are Marching

There is a path that leads me here to this post. A path that was an unexpected but wonderful stroll. The stroll continues, still. I’m not sure how much of this I can explain. Best to keep it a bit cryptic and vague. We love ambiguity – ain’t that right, Jim? Suffice it to say…

I’m On The Rooftop! – The Kensington Roof Gardens

As promised in a previous post about Boys From Brazil, here is information about the Kensington Roof Gardens. The tenancy was held by Virgin Limited Edition since (despite some erroneous information saying it was 1982) 1981. I think Simple Minds must have been one of the first bands on the label to make use of…

Minds Music Monday – Don’t You Forget About… Sweat In Bullet

It’s the 18th of November, 1982 and Mel Gaynor is making his live debut for Simple Minds as they play to a raucous home crowd at Tiffany’s in the “Dear Green Place”. Mel’s an accomplished drummer, no question there! But he’s still learning the SM repertoire of songs. Of course he’s familiar enough with what’s…

Happy Anniversary Sweat In Bullet!

It’s been the inspiration for a few art pieces, and the video is a fave. Jim is sssoooo frigging skinny in this video. He’s got his gammy eye and he is that heady mix of fledgling Laird Dash Fandango in his collared shirt and tailored trousers but with that bit of “gangster rough” with it….

Pleasure In Pain…

The Sweat In Bullet video….honestly…when it gets to this point, I’m like “Whip me. Just fucking whip me with that mic cord. Just do it. Break the skin. Just frigging hurt me!” He’s delicious… Man, I need help! (Been a long time since I spoke like this on the blog. I can feel a dark…

Promised You A Sweat In Bullet Miracle

You know what? Well, I was worried about why I had been blocked from the Decade 77-87 Facebook page. And I was genuinely scratching my head wondering why the hell it would be that I was. Then this evening, with a new share of a Simple Minds video compilation they had put together, I realised…
