To face the truth is alright, actually a lovely song, but doesn't do it for me like This must be the place does. This must be the place I waited years to leave makes me think of that Ready Brek ad with the boy with the glow going to school in the dark and cold; it's just so evocative probably for most of us for whom school wasn't...

Followed by...

I'm strapped up, strapped in, wear the vest
All the kit of an agent's chest
Even though it's bullet-proof
One could get through and that's the truth

The security detail is suggesting that they would happily allow a bullet to get to Narcissus in spite of their armour.

It's not...

Woo! You've also just reminded me that this issue of Smash Hits is profiled in the most recent episode of the Giddy Carousel of Pop podcast, which is a great listen.

Oooh! One of my favourite podcasts, btw. Recommended listening!

No more tours. I want more physical releases. Yet another concert wouldn't add anything for me. I've seen them at various occasions over the last 25 years and t b h the live experience isn't so overwhelming.

Yes but those are demoes not the finished product which they handed over to Hague to polish.

Oh, I saw that I even missed basic ones (most embarrasing: there´s a gun in your hand, pointing at your head ;)), even though I checked the German translation and all sound good - up to now. And I remembered that unless you have sort of biographer of a 24 hour call was not really understandable by...

Oh dear sweet Lord...

The Indefinite Leave to Remain demo has just been discovered at Chez Petshopgrrl.

If you need me, I'll be out at Costco buying more Kleenex. (*schniff*)

this broadcast focussed mainly on the spectacular production rather than the audience

Perhaps not surprising given the presumed state of said audience in the Biblical downpour throughout!

It was a Bilingual downpour - people were wet in two languages. Probably more. :D

Neil looks like...

Whilst looking at the online prices for Nonetheless yesterday, I noticed that both Amazon UK and HMV have got the Smash 6 x black vinyl on sale at £79.99, which is the cheapest I have ever seen it. It is still £120 on the official store.

I missed out on the white vinyl, so I wasn't going to bother...

I want some Crunchy Nut Cornflakes now.

Not Marmite though, I'm a hater.

Neil cannily steering the conversation around to how Radio 2 are playing Feel in the hotel restaurant! You can have some fun with this...

You make me feel like / eating some breakfast

You make me feel like / Crunchy...

How about calling it Otherwise ?

It’s a great title and seems to continue with that Englishness from Nonetheless.
Assemble.

Adrenaleeeeeen

The Expanded-disc is basically an Adrenaline EP + the demoes. So it makes sense.

It becomes quite central because of the timing around Christmas. There are other bands given prominence, but it's clear the director felt PSB were important!

I can't listen to The Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood without feeling really sad now.

Thanks to that single i started to like more this song, the radio edit starts better than the album version. I finally get this song and the line you make me feel like nobody else can reminds me of Heart Every time I see you something happens to me or but every time I see you, you have the same...

Still have mine - and it's still in the box.
Plus I have an extra box as the first one had a small crack.

Its so fragile, I would never dare ship it to anyone even if I was ever decided to sell.

I have an extra box too for the same reason. Would have to hit some very hard times to part with my...
