Re: PSB at Royal Opera House

Perspective is required by fans.

If you can afford it, great. If not, you have a lot of other things to be thankful for.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Had the euphoric excitement of old times this morning anticipating a new PSB release. Got out of bed at half past ten, drank some tea, then did some shopping. Went to HMV, picked up the CD from the shelf, exchanged cash, then went home, put in on and listened to it again and again all afternoon. Hi...

Re: Did you know about that book?

It rained earlier as I crossed Waterloo Bridge, but fortunately I had my umbrella. At lunchtime it was generally damp but clear. Now the rain is back! A light shower in central London. I don’t think it’s going to last though. I’ll brave it when I head back to the bus stop on the Strand and hopefull...

Should we or them care if it's number 1 - if the music is enjoyable. That means more to me.

Re: New Single - Loneliness

I think that ‘Loneliness’ is a masterpiece. It’s not immediate like some of their hits, but it’s a grower for sure. Sorry but I don't hear any evidence of a masterpiece.

Re: Wilderness years?

As @NotInvisible says, I didn't relate to much of the music being released then.

Fundamental is a particular favourite and Cubism tour is a fond memory.
