I am quite sure my attempts at understanding the previous decade musically brought me to a state close to aporia. The thought expressed here might be connected with the lack of optimism I currently feel about the world, which the records that the musicians did as the introductions of the era contain. To give you an example – Big Music by Simple Minds does possess a going-back-to-what-we-are-good-at nostalgic ethos, yet there's a feeling they rejuvenated themselves this way. To be honest, Simple Minds' latest LPs get ignored thanks to them being always severely underappreciated, those who have them for their idols caused us to realize what a great group they are. Thus, Big Music does, ha, big stuff for them, but I still feel like they can find more space for improvements.

She said, this is our time,  She said, this is our place-- This is the space my heart wants to be.

(With Simple Minds at Roseland Ballroom. Photographs by Riffchorusriff. October 24, 2013.... 
I’ve been thinking about how special this night was. It was my first time hearing the band live and the last show I attended at Roseland Ballroom before it was demolished in 2014. Although Kerr and company have been touring since 1977, this gig was only their 15th time playing somewhere in the city. 
According to simpleminds.org, they formerly hit both Trax and Hurrah’s in 1979, the Ritz in ‘81 and ‘83, Madison Square Garden and the Beacon Theatre in ‘84, Radio City Music Hall four times in ‘85, the Beacon in ‘91 and ‘94, the Brooklyn Academy of Music in ‘95, and the Beacon again in 2002. 
After their Roseland performance, lead singer/songwriter Jim Kerr dashed off this on the band’s website:
Last show of the North American tour, it was important to go out on a high. Thanks to the audience in New York for giving us more than we had hoped for. I put out a message/rallying cry here on Facebook last week asking for support at this gig. We got it! No doubt about that. Noticed familiar faces in the crowd, people came from far and wide. Across the ocean even. How amazing indeed. Also great to see so many of our old friends in the cities. We have missed you. Thank You!
Sadly, the band hasn’t ventured back to North America--let alone New York--since. Here’s hoping they won’t forget about us for too much longer.

Depois de anunciar seu 18º álbum de estúdio, “Direction of the Heart”, com o single “Vision Thing”, a banda escocesa Simple Minds canta o otimismo na faixa inédita “First You Jump”. Embalada por riffs oitentistas e coros imponentes, a canção convida a arriscar diante dos desafios acima das inseguranças. A faixa chega acompanhada de um impactante vídeo da banda no histórico teatro Taormina, na Itália, durante uma passagem de som. O lançamento é da BMG. Assista ao video de “First You Jump”: https://SimpleMinds.lnk.to/FirstYouJumpVideoPR Ouça “First You Jump”:  https://SimpleMinds.lnk.to/FirstYouJumpPR Faça pré-save de “Direction of the Heart”: https://simpleminds.lnk.to/DirectionOfTheHeartPR Formada por Jim Kerr (vocais), Charlie Burchill (guitarras, teclados), Gordy Goudie (violão), Ged Grimes (baixo), Cherisse Osei (bateria), Berenice Scott (teclados) e Sarah Brown (vocais), o Simple Minds faz, nessa nova fase criativa, uma ponte entre o passado e o presente da banda.

Ny singel med Simple Minds Singeln First You Jump är det andra spåret från Simple Minds artonde studioalbum Direction Of The Heart som släpps 21 oktober.  First You Jump är skriven av Kerr-Burchill tillsammans med Simple Minds mångårige basist Ged Grimes. Det är en klassisk transcendent Simple Minds-hymn, en om tidens ångest och hur vi kommer att höja oss över dem. Videon filmades i juli under soundcheck för Simple Minds konsert i Ancient Theatre Taormina, Sicilien. Denna fantastiska, historiska miljö fångas i panorama- och flygkamerabilder, ihopklippt med närbilder av bandet som framför låten en strålande solig dag. Se videon här First You Jump finns med på albumet Direction Of The Heart, Simple Minds första album med nytt material sedan 2018:s enastående UK Top 5-album Walk Between Worlds. Genom hela Direction Of The Heart framför bandet de nio spår långa albumet låtarna på ett självsäkert, hymniskt och inspirerade sätt, som firar livet. Under de senaste 10 åren har Simple Minds återupplivat den magi som gjorde dem till en vital konstnärlig kraft under sina tidiga dagar. De hart tagit emot ”Q Awards Lifetime Achievement” och fått fin kritik för sina senaste album. 2015 års Big Music beskrevs av Mojo Magazine som “deras bästa album på 30 år”, och 2018 års Walk Between Worlds hyllades över hela världen och blev deras mest framgångsrika album på över två decennier. De flesta av Direction Of The Heart låtar är skapade på Sicilien där både Kerr och Burchill bor. På grund av karantän kunde de inte komma till Storbritannien och albumet spelades istället in i Hamburgs Chameleon Studios i Tyskland. Här producerade de albumet och senare värvades Andy Wright (Massive Attack, Echo & The Bunnymen) och Gavin Goldberg (Simply Red, KT Tunstall) för vidare produktion. Bandmedlemmarna, basisten Ged Grimes (som var med och skrev två av de nya låtarna, ’ First You Jump’ och ’Solstice Kiss’), trummisen Cherisse Osei och sångaren Sarah Brown spelade in i London. Sparks frontman Russell Mael (‘Human Traffic’) och låtskrivaren och tidigare Grimes musikpartner från Danny Wilson, Gary Clar (’Vision Thing’, ’ First You Jump’ och ’Natural’), spelade in sina delar i hemmastudio. “How to make a feel-good ‘Electro-rock’ record, during the very worst of times? Direction Of The Heartis the result of that challenge. Who would have thought we’d have so much fun creating it?”, säger Jim Kerr om Direction Of The Heart.Turné 18 Juni - Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire 9 August - Custom House Square, Belfast   11 August - Audley End House, Essex 12 August - Edinburgh Summer Sessions   13 August - New Gold Dream album performance for UNICEF, Edinburgh Medverkande   Jim Kerry - sång Charlie Burchill – gitarr, Keyboard Gordy Goudie – akustisk gitarr Ged Grimes – bas Cherisse Osei – trummor Berenice Scott – Keyboard Sarah Brown – sång   För intervjuer kontakta: Anette Ståhl / Enmusa Music, tel: 0707-180 120 [email protected] För mer information kontakta Ulrika Hammar / BMG, tel 0705–295 312 [email protected]

BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE READYMADE BOOMERANG: CERTAIN RELATIONS IN 20TH CENTURY ART - THE 8TH BIENNALE OF SYDNEY 1990 (1990) • First edition of the incredible (huge) catalogue published to accompany the 8th Biennale of Sydney 1990 "The Readymade Boomerang: Certain Relations in 20th Century Art", held 11 April-3 June 1990 in Sydney across various venues. The eighth Biennale began from ‘a trio of Dada originators’: Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Francis Picabia. A large number of artists across generations joined these key figures in Artistic Director René Block’s exploration of the ‘readymade’ in twentieth-century art, which aimed to highlight ‘its invention and pure use by Duchamp, to its resurgence in Nouveau Realism, Pop Art, and Fluxus of the 60s, all the way to new versions by young contemporary artists’. Pop, fluxus and conceptual artists such as Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton, Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Alison Knowles, César, George Brecht, Nam Jun Paik and Piero Manzoni were shown alongside Cindy Sherman, Bruce Nauman, Hans Haacke, Rebecca Horn, Sophie Calle, Jeff Koons, Rosemarie Trockel, John Nixon, Ian Burn, Janet Burchill, Peter Tyndall, Robert Rooney, Allan Kaprow, Jenny Holzer, Robert Gober, Jill Scott, Stanley Brouwn, Peter Cripps, Terry Fox, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Fischli & Weiss, KP Brehmer, Sigmar Polke, Dieter Rot, Hanne Darboven, Robert MacPherson, Jackie Redgate, Ed Ruscha, Barbara Bloom, Oyvind Fahlstrom, among so many others. Several works were created on-site in Sydney, amplifying Block’s notion of the Biennale as a ‘workshop’. A comprehensive satellite program of music, performance, lectures, symposia, workshops and exhibitions at various Sydney venues complemented the exhibition. Five satellite exhibitions included On Kawara, Joseph Beuys, Alain Fleischer, Fluxus and Broken Record, which featured artist’s experimentations with audio recordings, vinyl and album artwork. • 500 pages conceived and realised by René Block and Jennifer Cook - profusely illustrated with examples of all artists works and accompanying texts throughout. • More on our website. One copy. • #worldfoodbooks #thereadymadeboomerang #reneblock #sydney #1990 (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

Simple Minds släpper nytt album – Direction Of The Heart Den 21 oktober släpper Simple Minds sitt 18:e studioalbum Direction Of The Heart på vilket ett av spåren gästas av Russell Mael från Sparks. Först ut är singeln Vision Thing som släpps idag 14 juni.
För att lyssna direkt https://open.spotify.com/album/42CadEfNVFqeDbviUtGbA8?si=Wn_tx1sWQMSoobRZksjJIA 
Just nu är Simple Minds ute på en bejublad Europaturné (”Back in fashion and back on thrilling form.” – The Times).
Första singeln, Vision Thing, är en självsäker och hymnisk hyllning till livet. Låten är euforisk med sina dunkande trummor, synthwash och det omisskännliga gitarrspelet av Simple Minds livslånga sexsträngade underverk, Charlie Burchill. Vision Thing är en hyllning till frontmannen Jim Kerrs far som gick bort 2019, med text av Kerr och musik av Burchill.
Direction Of The Hearts öppningslåt Vision Thing, sätter tempot för ett koncentrerat album med nio spår. Det är också första albumet med nytt material sedan det enastående Walk Between Worlds (2018) som hamnade på UK:s Topp 5-lista. Låten kapslar in essensen av tidigare och nuvarande Simple Minds – ett band vars uppgång under de senaste tio åren har visat hur de lyckas fånga magin och lovorden från de tidiga dagarna under deras karriär.
De flesta av Direction Of The Hearts låtar är skapade på Sicilien där både Kerr och Burchill bor. På grund av karantän kunde de inte komma till Storbritannien och albumet spelades istället in i Hamburgs Chameleon Studios i Tyskland. Här producerade de albumet och senare värvades Andy Wright (Massive Attack, Echo & The Bunnymen) och Gavin Goldberg (Simply Red, KT Tunstall) för vidare produktion. Bandmedlemmarna, basisten Ged Grimes (som var med och skrev två av de nya låtarna, ’First You Jump’ och ’Solstice Kiss’), trummisen Cherisse Osei och sångaren Sarah Brown spelade in i London.
Sparks frontman Russell Mael (‘Human Traffic’) och låtskrivaren och tidigare Grimes musikpartner från Danny Wilson, Gary Clar (’Vision Thing’, ’First You Jump’ och ’Natural’), spelade in sina delar i hemmastudio.
“How to make a feel-good ‘Electro-rock’ record, during the very worst of times? Direction Of The Heart is the result of that challenge. Who would have thought we’d have so much fun creating it?”, säger Jim Kerr om Direction Of The Heart.

Vision Thing
First You Jump
