The Boys are constantly about the here and now. So would have to be someone current. David Jackson probably bit too inexperienced at 17 (bright future though) so would say Artbat, Mella Dee or Neil’s mate Kolsch. Though have you seen that doing the rounds where Cheeky Pete says he’d be up for doing...

Norway: a pretty lacklustre #39
(Electric was #1)

On the plus side, their fortcoming Oslo show sold out all 6000 tickets in a just a couple of hours

The reviewer seems to like Wedding in Berlin a lot, by the way.

Best review yet.

Most in-depth review but lowest scoring thus far.

A brilliantly executed review!

Really lovely review. I’d say Hoping For A Miracle is more King’s Cross than Funny Uncle though. King's Cross is arguably the best ballad of the PSB career. I wish this song was as good as King's Cross. King’s Cross is an utterly magnificent song, but not a ballad. You're joking, right? No? :lol:

Bought the tracks this morning.
Listened to Decide on full blast in my car on the way to work.

Wow. Blown away by it.

Another b side that could be on an album.
Could easily be on Electric.

Could easily be one of the HIGHLIGHTS of Electric! One of their best B-sides ever, in my opinion

I'm wondering whether the album version will just have a longer intro and/or outro and no additional lyrics at all!

My guess. A second verse and chorus. Then the bridge will end up in it's "normal" place, after the second chorus....

Looking at the song titles of the tunes we havent heard on HotSpot, they dont appear to give themselves to politics. a couple could be a surprise, such as only the dark and wilo the wisp, but I suspect its going to be a fairly politics free album. Wasn't the whole point of releasing Agenda to get a...

I wonder why there wasn't a reference to producer Stephen Hague whom both Pete and Bob would have reported into on the production of "Very" in this article...strange. Are there any Stephen Hague interviews on "Very" that any one knows? Stephen Hauge was just in at the very end of the process, tinke...

Not sure how I feel about a "greatest hits" tour...it feels like closer to retirement...but these things make money and they need to tour to pay for all of their productions I'm sure...I guess I never thought they would do a "greatest hits" tour...it's not creative enough for me and quite frankly I...

Having listened end to end about 3 times in the last 24 hrs, I think Musik is one of the most coherent, consistently strong bodies of work the boys have released in decades. In particular, it showcases their songwriting abilities, rather than exhibiting the shiny sheen of a famous producer. I would...

MONGREL Very good songwriting. Clever, Weill-like chord changes in the bridge. Production quite poor, with obvious use of Logic-presets (the drums in particular) up front in the mix. Would have benefitted stylistically by some guitars. SOUP Catchy. Great drum programming. Muddily produced. RUN GIRL ...

This is a fully improvised, blues-style piano solo, and it makes no sense trying to replicate it, nor notate it to sheet music. For any pianists skilled in blues, this style of solo is pretty easy, btw.

Introspective became the best selling PSB album ever. Arguing that it flopped, and a 1989 release would have solved it becomes a bit silly, doesn’t it?

And despite not going #1 in UK, Domino Dancing was a massive hit, and a much loved live favourite

Notice again this is another gay artist they're collaborating with. Nothing wrong with that but there's definitely a pattern. Patsy Kensit Liza Minelli Tina Turner Robbie Williams Brandon Flowers Lady Gaga Yoko Ono David Bowie Madonna Kylie Minogue Johnny Marr Example Rammstein Sam Taylor Johnson Y...

It is.

A bit later in the programme there is also snippets of what supposedly is the shelved single mix of Daydreaming.
