Re: Track-by-Track: From Please to Nonetheless

Please was released on the 24th of March 1986. I received it for my 16th birthday. 38 years on (almost to the day), I can remember listening to 2/0 for the first time and afterwards telling my mates how fantastic it was. Amazing to think that we are still talking about it excitedly after all this ti...

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Bizarre that the visual version is an uncut version.

And more bizarre is that Neil once had his haircut in Huddersfield - my home town.

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Interestingly they seemed to allow the songs to completely fade out before talking - I wonder if that means they might crop up as b-sides/FL content? Or is that just the style of 'The Piano Room'.

Re: Tom Hibbert article in Guardian

I grew up on his writings for Smash Hits and his "Who the hell does X think he is?" in Q magazine were fantastic.

It is - if you click on the album - all the other tracks are greyed out except for Loneliness.

Felt a bit short, hopefully there's a longer album version... and a great 12'' mix waiting for us around the corner.

That was the radio mix.

Re: Lead singles ranked

Good topic Dog and one I have been thinking about too. As others have said it’s really difficult to create lists as they change on a daily basis. I’ve tried to weight this list in favour of what I felt like at the time as well as what I feel like now. I 100% think West End girls should be on the lis...

Yes I can hear it now thanks.

It is a great song though - definitely one for the 'deep cuts' show that we are all hoping for.

Re: In Depth - a new fan podcast recorded by forum members

Thanks for the final episode of season 2 - another great set of shows, well structured and produced, and always a few new bits for us ‘experienced’ (ie. old) fans.
