Greetings,

Were they right to release It's Alright as a single?

:shock:

What a strange question to ask in relation to a Top 5 single.

Retro. :)

Not really. Like Drico wrote, it was surprising that they released it as a single eight months after Left to my own devices. Also, wasn't Tom Watkins adamantly...

It's definitely their best DVD/show, by a decent margin. I've converted non-fans by having them watch.

2. Go West

This works on so many levels. To come back with something as monstrously OTT as this was a mark of genius. To release it shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union was a masterstroke, allowing another interpretation of what was originally a lament to a lost gay utopia. That it was sung...

@Danimal, I feel that way about all the current releases also, in terms of loudness, but I would appear to be in the minority.

The older I get, the less tolerance I have for loud, and I haven't listened to any of the recent albums for quite some time for that reason. That said, some of the...

They won't put it on the website until the tickets go on sale.

First album I ever bought. I bought it on cassette. During Domino Dancing, I thought something was wrong with the tape but it was this amazing, chopping sound effect during the middle 8th. Still blows me away. Epic. The entire album sounds timeless and nothing like a typical 80s album.

I got tickets, don't know what to expect.

I've bought one too. I saw Trevor's supergroup The Producers a few years ago now at Barfly. He likes playing covers of the hits with which he's associated either as a player or producer! Expect Slave to the Rhythm, Two Tribes and Video Killed the Radio...

Greetings,

Yes, I'm incredibly skeptical of Wayne's theory.

I actually think that the video is quite skilful to the extent that a heterosexual will likely see it as heterosexual (with a +1 to tottenhammattspurs's comment above), and a homosexual will likely see the homo-erotic undertones....

Ta!
Behaviour: Oftentimes, movies or albums are initially panned but re-discovered later-on. PSYCHO was mauled by critics but is now considered a classic. Also, how exactly is Nervously as a gay song? A nervous boy from another town is just a boy from another town talking to a nervous girl. So hard...

And found these hilarious Pop Charts with PSB song references

Link with pics :

Make sure to use quotation marks! The Chris trend above is simply because there's so many people named Chris, hahah

He is still more popular, but not by such a large margin :D

Ta! Never seen those back to work articles before.

Thanks for the link! I wait with anticipation for the sound of the atom splitting.

I read it as Come on and get you some more...

Four page special in this months issue.

Don’t worry. There’s mistakes in it 😳

lol... :lol:

The rolled up trousers are very Chris Lowe Please era

HMV sale has Actually and Introspective at £10.99. Grab ‘em while you can.

One More Chance officially wins. Would hate to see One More Chance versus Winner.

There's always the Legends slot.....

Building a wall is definitely one of my most favourite PSB songs, and I really like Legacy too. Don't need to fight you.

The Disco series should be consigned to history and the bargain basement bins.

Why should they restrict themselves because of some spurious tradition? Single word album titles are restrictive as it is, but justifiable as a stylistic conceit. It fits their minimalistic aesthetic. Disco offers no...

I like the peg bag and folder Pod. 8)

Thanks - forgot I had the folder until this thread sparked me to find it!

Glad someone got it!

Sorry, the penny hasn't dropped too well here - Is it something like do ya know 'er ? (If that made any sense?) I got the Jamaica one.

You got it Marie!

That's a first lol.... :lol:

In my view, this track gets way too much duff.

Either listeners feel the track doesn't fit in, or that the single mix is superior, or both. Or they don't care for new jack swing.

To me, though, this is ultra classico PSB. You get the biting social wit and commentary, which while still present in...

Me too :pray:

Thank you for letting me know Pod. :D Glad you enjoyed it and saw some PSB related things there.

What is Chris doing to that poor woman?

Wettin' da ass. Says so in the programme title ; )

:lol: Whatever it is, she’s enjoying it.

Bolshy is declared the winner. It's the winner. This is happening so fast.

Whatever the case, they make a few dollars each month off royalties. Not bad at all.
