I’m reading an excellent biography of Simple Minds (Themes For Great Cities). Pre-SM, 1977, they were in a Glasgow punk band (sans Mick), and were playing kind of an open stage show at a Glasgow club. The owner said you’re on in 8 minutes, I just want to play this record…

So incredibly pleased and proud that Sinéad could do this

Happy release day ⁦Withered Hand⁩ !!! We made a beautiful thing my friend x listeners please let us know your favourite songs.

Re: last RT. I read and loved Graeme Thomson's biography of Kate Bush when it was first published in 2010 (to me, it's the definitive KB book). Honoured to have written the foreword for a new updated reissue of Under the Ivy. Out in July, pre-order here: omnibuspress.com/products/kate-…

It was lovely to finally meet Sinéad Gleeson in person last night at her excellent event Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh. I can't wait to read Hagstone, which has already been widely acclaimed.

My Kate picks 💜 I think Cloudbusting makes up for all the melancholy ones!? Graeme Thomson
Night of the Swallow
The Fog
Under Ice
Wow
King of the Mountain
Cloudbusting
Mother Stands for Comfort
The Infant Kiss
Hammer Horror
Sunset
Delius
The Man With the Child In His Eyes

I'm making a start on compiling a #KateBush playlist(s) for the upcoming publication of the remastered Under The Ivy. These will be my own personal choices, but I'd be interested to hear other people's favourite KB tracks (even if Kate herself is covering her ears)...

Cover Design: Symrin / Studio Ru

Daily streams of the track are up 400% - averaging 3000 streams a day; up to 15000 streams a day worldwide over the weekend

When people take the piss out of me for loving Simple Minds, I genuinely think they don’t know them beyond ‘Belfast Child’. Their first 5-7 albums were works of art.

Paul Buchanan
The Blue Nile

Craig Armstrong’s beautiful rendition of “Let’s Go Out Tonight” featuring, yes, Paul Buchanan is crushingly sad.

Graeme Thomson I keep hoping KCRW will post the Snap session where Rickie Lee Jones was in the studio with them. I did find this today: youtube.com/watch?v=_172cf…

There wasn't all this fuss when Mel C covered the Blue Nile....
