Ooo... this is a fun one. I've often thought that if we only had b-sides by PSB, they'd still be one of the great song writing teams of my lifetime.

I wouldn't trust those photos to be the actual covers.

Very good.

“Putin’s not the problem, immigrants are. And who cares about gays?!”

Utterly depressing posts full of misinformation, misdirection, and misanthropy.

Beautiful. But so many stronger tracks on the album. It's full of beauty, love, pain, fear, hope, loss, despair... humanity.

The criminal problem in your country is the oligarchs who run it for themselves. Of course many other countries also run that way, perhaps increasingly so.

There is always crime here, but it’s not especially caused by immigrants; migrants are no more likely to be criminals here than people born ...

A must listen for people that still don’t get it.

There may be (and have been) Russian opposition leaders that you wouldn’t ever vote for. Ukraine might be led by a politician you wouldn’t vote for. But never forget who they are up against, and what he is ...

Parkol, you are welcome here in the UK. No need to be stirring up anti-immigrant feeling here to divert from Putin’s crimes.

Oh… another one. Migrants aren’t the problem, inequality and hate and fear are. Beware millionaires and billionaires telling you that migrants, jews, muslims, women ...

Why doesn't Depeche Mode, Erasure or Duran Duran care what happens in Russia? They don't care. They don't have Ukrainian flags on their websites.

They don't care.

They probably do care. They just perhaps don't feel a personal responsibility.

PSB were a western band that actively promoted Russia. For them to be so clear that they still love Russia, but stand against Putin, is obviously very personal and important to them.

It’s balmy in Blackpool right now.

"Love Harder" addresses that a bit more recently. Lovely track by the way...

"Self Titled" is a great title. Kae literally chose his own title, his own name. Something that causes some people real difficulties. The title "Self Titled" seems to make it clear that the album will tackle the changes Kae's been through, and the response of others to it (rather then third person ...

Had already pre-ordered this! The lead single was great. Had no idea about the guest spot... wondering if it'll be talking or singing?
