Minds Music Monday – Happy Anniversary – Hypnotised
Today marks the 28th anniversary of the release of Hypnotised, the second single from the Good News From The Next World album. I always felt it was a stronger single than She’s A River. Thus continuing the tradition that, although not universally true (but a fairly constant), the second Simple Minds single from a new…

Minds Music Monday: 18-18 and The Early Years 1977-1978 CD Anniversary
One of the early sought-after ‘wants’ on my list of SM memorabilia was to secure myself a copy of the Early Years CD. I didn’t go all-out to secure a copy. Thankfully there were uploads to YouTube of the individual tracks that I could listen to. I desired a copy simply for its collectability. I…

Cyprus Avenue: Tron Theatre, Glasgow – 16/3/2023
This was my first experience of seeing a play at the Tron Theatre. I really don’t know why it had taken me this long to get around to seeing a performance there. The venue had escaped my attention for the most part, I confess. I have to give kudos to Facebook’s algorithm because it came…

Forever The Muse?
This photo has been the spark of something that I hope will serve me well. I can’t get away from this fact that Jim continues to be a spark of ideas, an impetus…a muse to me. The latest assignment for uni (yes! Uni talk…but for a change, it’s relevant to the theme of the blog)…
How Do You Know?
How? How did he know to write this post today? How did he know that these have been the things swimming around in my head the past few days? That I have been filled with copious amounts of self-doubt (yet again!) over how I am going to write a really good piece of prose for…
Over The Precipice We Go – Fall Or Be Pushed
I’m still wondering why it even matters to me these days, but it still does. Jim’s post today. It had that usual “ruthless” element to it that makes me uncomfortable. It has always been an element that doesn’t sit well with me in the psyche of Jim Kerr. Today’s post seems to make the allusion…

All’s Quiet On The West Of Scotland…
Some explanation as to the (mostly) radio silence here on this blog – from the other blog (that’s been equally neglected of late)
Damn! I Hate This!
I’m in “miss you” mode. I’m not going to say anything else. I’m already disgusted with myself as is! Fuck feelings!
