Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless
As they've observed, you can definitely chart an alternative universe where this as a classic one-hit wonder. They'd be fondly remembered, Chris having returned to designing staircases in Milton Keynes and Neil would pop up on BBC4 documentaries occasionally talking about The Waste Land and Grandmas...

Re: New Single - Loneliness
Neil's very civilised, still being friends with his ex. I don't think I could countenance my ex messing about with my b-side after we'd split up.

Re: PSB & OMD
Sorry, very juvenile and waaaaay off topic but it may refer to the self described, collective onanistic tendencies of everyone’s favourite be-denimed 3-chord boogie purveyors. See the Chart Music Podcast A-Z wiki: Polish, Having A: The post-gig relaxation technique deployed by Status Quo, presumabl...

Re: Try to describre in only one word your first feeling listening to a new PSB album
Please - Clubbing. Still their album most redolent of being young and out. Actually - Thatcherism. Can see the mad old bat's face every time I hear King's Cross. Tubby Lawson for Shopping. Introspective - Beatles. It's their Sgt Pepper, although it's more like Magical Mystery Tour in some ways as it...

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray
I remember really struggling to pick a Release sleeve on the day, a decision made slightly trickier by having been listening to it for weeks already and knowing how lukewarm I felt about it. Also the Amazon pre-release renderings of the sleeves were different from the final four and had oddly creat...

Re: New album Nonetheless
I think telys is right. Russian people, no matter if they support some actions or not, should be relegated to the margins. Some painful and unambiguous actions need to be introduced. Finally. I know many Russians want to feel as Europeans, but they need to clean their own mess. This is a multigener...

Re: PSB & OMD
Are OMD a band in the traditional sense of a group of guys living, rehearsing, touring, drinking together, unable to get the right sound without eachother? No, not at all. To me, Status Quo are the very definition of a traditional band as they will have a polish together. I doubt PSB do that (at le...

Re: New album Nonetheless
I've done my fair share of moaning about eBay scalpers but last year I ordered one copy of Annual as I do every year. They sent me two. I emailed them to tell them and offer to send it back sealed, and they replied saying how sorry they were and another copy would be sent. I didn't fully read the e...

Re: New album Nonetheless
If you’re a vinyl player… pick one colour. If you listen on your home cinema setup, get the BlueRay. The rest of us have the double CD that fans want. There’s a single CD for everyone else. A sound release. In line with modern listening habits of those not moving to streaming only. Remember the Ele...

Re: New album Nonetheless
You can say the lyrics are better and maybe it's true but not the songs on terms of music, melodies (Suburbia, It's a Sin, Left to my own devices, etc are not comparable with anything the have done later), the production (Stuart Price is good but not as good as Trevor Horn or Julian Mendelsson), et...

Re: New album Nonetheless
Always excited for a new studio album, even if it's a less intense thrill then getting Introspective, Behaviour and Very for the first time. What is different now is this is a 70-year-old man's perspective on life, and one who's been a millionaire pop star for most of the last four decades. So he'll...

Re: Pet Shop Boys in today’s Guardian
I think it was a big mistake for him to split from his band. They gave his music substance and on their first album it had a subtle R&B sound and his camp, sexuality and falsetto were used in proper doses resulting in an unusual but appealingly poppy combination. Similarly on the second album. ...
