She's had so much Botox she can no longer speak.

Never heard of her before but it was an enjoyable listen - thanks. Interesting how she stopped being such a hardcore fan after Behaviour as life took over. Probably the same for most of us, but like supporting a crap football team, we still went out and bought Release. It's the same guy who did the ...

The Chris Morris one is pretty funny; I particularly like the line 'and we litter our songs with this irritating noise' before we hear some synth stabs a la Chris. :lol: Steve Wright and his 'posse' were pretty homphobic in the 80s - I didn't listen to his show regularly but there was certainly an e...

Annalise was so hot. 🔥 Having grown up with Neighbours in my formative years, I started watching it again during lockdown. It was always undemanding fare that worked best when it was on BBC1 as you only wasted 20 minutes of your life watching it. To a generation of cishet f*ckboys, it provided a nev...

It is a bit Spitting Image, isn't it? I can imagine a video like Land of Confusion with Thatcher and the vegetables.

Brings back memories of finishing school that summer. GAWI and Disappointed are both pop classics and the latter is Johnny Marr's biggest hit in the UK, which seems crazy. Neil was obviously the backing singer on GAWI, while Disappointed sounds more like PSB as he's the lead. It still seems odd that...

Really? What was the story?

I see what you mean and I understand it. I understand why PSB follow a chronological order with Discography but they didn't do the same with PopArt. IMHO, I'd go for a non-chronological order and Love comes quickly and Jelousy should be excluded because of 2 reasons. You can talk about chart positi...

Calling your greatest hits album 'Pop! - the First 20 Hits' is so hubristic. One can imagine Nemesis making a note to call on Andy and remind him of the vicissitudes of pop.

But Erasure do have the back catalogue of hits so if they wanted to they should be doing more festivals - they need a better live agent and maybe some better PR that could package up their legacy and story and brief out to press so they start to become interesting and more recognised, as they have ...

The teenage me enjoyed The Innocents and Wild! but even then they never had anything like the breadth or depth of Pet Shop Boys. I agree, but as a pure pop group, their run of singles during both groups' heyday is very impressive, and like PSB, they had proper hits. Seeing PSB tour their greatest h...

Quite interesting to think that a quarter of their setlist was cover versions. And every single one of those turned into something utterly proprietorial. Drico. Certainly. Always On My Mind - I like the fact that the Elvis, Willie Nelson and PSB versions are different but all bring something distin...

I'm not going to get into the whole PSB vs Erasure thing but when you see PSB performing their greatest hits to such acclaim, including high-profile coverage like Glastonbury, it must really grate with them that they're not similarly beloved as national treasures. I'm obviously a Pethead but I still...

No boys from New York City at Glastonbury (fortunately).

Let's face it this is a festival and deserve this is not a festival song despite having been a huge a hit and still being a great tune. Plus it doesn't fit the vibe and tone of the reduced set anywayssss I disagree about it not being a festival song - it's a banger and they could have got someone t...
