My Beautiful Man!
One year! One WHOLE year today since I have been to a Minds gig. Well, it would be more accurate to say since I have seen them live seeing as the gig in question was at a festival. But a whole year nonetheless. I am suffering SUCH withdrawals! I am going to as many gigs…
I Travel – Utah Saints Mix
For this week’s Minds Music Monday – one of my fave remixes 🙂
Kerrsday Thursday – Rarities – NGD/Take Me To The River
Wow! What a redition! My God! Only saw this the first time a few days ago…and MY DAYS!!!
Why I Love…Hunter And The Hunted
That bass! Wow! Seriously…say anything else you like about Derek Forbes, but he has to be one of THE BEST bass players in the world. WHAT A GROOVE! The song has FUNK! That really is one funky bass groove. And then, more stellar, shining keyboard work from Michael MacNeil, along with understated guitar from Charlie….
Why I Love…Careful In Career
Jim’s voice, and his lyrics. They are deep (both voice AND lyrics), as per usual in these early years. His lyrics have a depth beyond his tender years at this point in the Simple Minds story. He so very quickly becomes such a stark, bold lyricist. The imagery he conveys is startling. God, can you…
Retro Rage – Minds Mention On Countdown
Itty bitty mention of Simple Minds from a Countdown episode from March 6th, 1983. (Just quickly recorded from iPad…will try and share a proper version off USB stick at a later time) REALLY hope there will be something more substantial in the final Rage retro week next week. Fingers crossed xx
Kerrsday Thursday – CURSEday! Lol
From 7 minutes 15 seconds in – Jim Kerr’s crowd control. “You’re acting like fucking idiots….If you wanna jump around, fuck off round the  block! You could do with a fucking jog.” “I’m sorry about that colourful language. My mother would be ashamed.” Fiesty Jim, in WCS. I know it shouldn’t but I just love…
Kerrsday Thursday – Celebrate WCS
Jim – in WCS with BADGES! The gig I missed :-(( (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Kerrsday Thursday’s Child – My Death
Bed calls. So, I will end Kerrsday Thursday, not with Jim…but with David. And not wearing a belt…but singing a “belter” and one of my favourite covers of his. Written by Jacques Brel. I don’t want the song to feel maudlin – even though it *is* about death. It’s a dedication to David, for all…
