Completely agree. They obviously didn't think highly of it - didn't even make the Further Listening of Release :(

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

My theory is they've gone down to Epsom racecourse by train, placed a bet on a horse, made a mint and then jetted off to New York. Fanciful, for sure but romantic.

Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

The train announcement is at Victoria station and is the 14:27 Epsom Downs service calling at Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Common, Balham (almost inaudible), Streatham Common and presumably all other stations to Epsom Downs, via West Croydon.

Re: Single or album version preferences

I would only compare versions that are substantially different, not just edits or slight remixes So these I wouldn't - Jealousy is imperceptibly different in its single version Being boring is just an edit of the album version Even Heart isn't hugely different in its single mix But these I would - Y...

Re: Next Single

I just want a decent amount of b sides, not just one as with three of Hotspot's singles. Elysium had three b sides per single and now that they're back with Parly, any reason why we can't again?

Re: Next Single

So we´ll be getting the same b-side (in a remixed form, but the same song) in two different official UK singles? I think that never happened before... Well, I'm not sure it's quite as weird as Did you see me coming? being the second single from Yes in June 2009 - nearly three months after appearing...

Re: Your bet for main single of "Nonetheless"

"Feel" is precisely the kind of George Michael title I thought they would avoid. Makes me think it might be about Harvey Winestain

Re: Next Single

I was hoping we would get two more b sides for the next single but it may well be remix-heavy. Might just be the Bowie song.

Re: Your Instant Classics

For me, it’s always been “To Face The Truth”. It’s the song I steer people to when they churn out the “PSB songs all sound the same” nonsense. For lovers of To Face The Truth, check out Sophie Ellis Bextor’s “Unrequited”. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful. https://youtu.be/mjqfsF4tyJQ?si=VGzGex4yNgxWc...

Re: Literally transcripts

There was a site called Absolutely PSB that had scans but there were gaps and it was a bit jumbled up.

It's amazing what they can do now with hardened, lacquered horse shit. The process is called manurefacturing. May not play quite as well as vinyl, mind.

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray

I wonder when the ultimate bundle edition will come out:
CD
CDx2
LP
clear LP
zootrope LP
bluray
cassette
cartridge
play button
78 record
wax cylinder
pianola roll
download code
plus direct cranial input so I can hear it in my mind at all times.
