I realize I'm running the risk of turning this blog into a platform for 80s revivalists, but the new song from Simple Minds really is quite good. I'm not keen on nostalgia for nostalgia's sake, but "Blood Diamonds" is a stunningly beautiful track that will make you think it's 1983 all over again. Maybe it's the synths or the fact that -- unlike most guys his age -- Jim Kerr's voice hasn't lost a step. Either way, these guys lost their way in America after the success of Once Upon a Time -- but this song pretty much eliminates the intervening 30 years (yikes).
