Re: Recording of DJ Culture and Was It Worth It?
IMHO, that's probably why they released Domino dancing as the first single, thinking that whatever the song might be, it would go straight to number one purely on the wings of the preceding sales performance. But at that time PSB was mostly a bombastic pop-dance singles act driven by high energy so...

Re: Time to get ready for "Annually 2021"...
Any sport that goes on for five days with no obvious winner and regularly stops for lunch, can’t be fun in my opinion. 😂 Au contraire - in fact it's that aspect which makes it even more important in the modern age when everything is speeded up and you can be offside in football because there's a lo...

Re: Recording of DJ Culture and Was It Worth It?
I don't want to slide too much off topic, but yes, I've always felt Introspective was rushed out far too soon after the Actually period. It was probably to capitalise on the Brits Best Band award, but it only seemed like 5 minutes after Heart had been number 1. Again with hindsight, I would have st...

Re: Recording of DJ Culture and Was It Worth It?
Miracles is the best of their compilation singles. I like DJ Culture but it's far too abstruse for a one-off single to trail a greatest hits package. Ideally, you'd want something more visceral and in your face. Arguably, Was It Worth It? would have been a better choice as it's far less challenging ...

Re: Time to get ready for "Annually 2021"...
Granted it's not going to be about cricket per se, but I wonder how many cricketing metaphores Neil could crowbar into his poetic lyrics ?

Re: Russell T Davis: It's A Sin
Jarman's video is so good. It does encapsulate the way PSB presented commercial pop in an arty way, as do the Latin verses towards the end of the song. It's definitely stood the test of time.

Re: PSB - Vaccination
Thanks for the link Patrick. I know what the EU vaccine roll out is. We would have gone our own way with vaccinations even if still a member, like we so often did, as members. Other countries could have as well. Hungary belatedly has. Germany pumped funds into vaccine production, hence the Pfizer v...

Re: PSB - Vaccination
I doubt Neil would have had his vaccination yet if we were still in the EU.

I only just realised that they have two separate YouTube accounts - the Parlophone one and their own one.domino wrote: ↑Fri 12 Feb 2021, 3:33 pm They tease the release with One in a million/Mr. Vain.
