I'd forgotten Fugitive was a b-side else that would be in there. Also, I only went up to Format, so Decide and An Open Mind should be in contention too. Bloody difficult this as they have so many amazing b-sides. I love the likes of Miserablism, It Must Be Obvious and Hey Headmaster but they didn't ...

They should cover Boney M.

Minor point of order, was it not a football chant *before* PSB covered it? And probably why ;)


No, The Village People version is from 1979 and certainly wouldn't have been a terrace chant before PSB covered it. Also, as the article above shows it was originally associated with Arsenal, who ...

How mad.

Changing one's opinion when new facts are discovered is typically a sign of maturity and intelligence.


What 'new facts' were these? I recall that plenty of people knew what a farrago the Iraq War was before the invasion. Did Neil really believe Alistair Campbell and his '45-minute' lie? That ...

The 'problem' is that people aren't the property of the government. If I don't want to show my papers, or even have papers, I have the fundamental human right to not do so. "I am not a number, I am a free man!" etc. But you're welcome to volunteer to be less free.



Ah, so you don't have a ...

It's not difficult to understand. Neil loves Russia and hates that it's in thrall to a de facto dictator, so he sings about that. That doesn't mean he doesn't also care about other things, but no one can cover every subject nor should one have to. The West is broadly welcoming of migrants - North ...

Now I see.
It's just that Pet Shop Boys have a lot of things about Russia, Putin and Ukraine, but I, for example, haven't seen any posts or songs about migrants and crime growth in England, although it's also a very important topic for everybody, not only for England, for Europe and for Russia ...

I hope he's okay. It can't be easy for him if he lives in Russia.

Up there with Satanas in the top tier of (slightly barmy) Petheads.

Your wish is my command. Correction: three sliders, five presets. And it even has a tape still inside it - Bentley Rhythm Ace! (I wondered where that had got to!) Doesn't appear to be working right now but might be my dodgy batteries.

This bad boy played a lot of PWEI and Prodge and Orb and co ...

It sort of explains the album cover, they want to portray an image associated with masculinity.

What always impressed me about Paninaro is that it's the bloody other one 'singing' it! How good must you be if a stone-cold classic has the keyboard player on lead vocals?

Even The Beatles only gave Ringo the cheesier songs; it wasn't like he sang Strawberry Fields.

Numb can't win this.

I must have had a hallucination about them pimping it during the Olympics then.
