By the way, have just looked at the Forever Young single - it seems to be just the album version with no mixes or b-sides. Is that right? A shame,...
Well, I think the performance genuinely benefitted from some of it being live - live vocals, live drums and keyboards mixed in with the...
Other amusing titbits from their Q&A: 1. Andrew Ridgeley can remember far more lyrics to Bananarama songs than Wham! ones. 2. They used to go out...
Yeah they also said they couldn’t make it work live - they needed someone to rework it, to make it actually possible for them to sing it.
Yes, everything she has done is interesting, so even with her albums that I enjoy slightly less (The Sensual World, 50 Words for Snow, Director’s...
Sorry! I think I just have an aversion to more straightforwardly bluesy numbers. I always take against the most old school R’n’B numbers on Paul...
Ahh, you see, I’ve always thought Big Stripey Lie was excellent. And while Constellation of the Heart made me cringe as a teenager, now I’m older,...
I’ve been loving Aerial and The Red Shoes all over again. A Sky of Honey is one of the best things by anyone, ever, obviously. Perfect for this...

I’d go with: Hounds of Love Aerial The Dreaming The Kick Inside The Red Shoes Never for Ever / Lionheart The Sensual World 50 Words for Snow No...
This makes me want to cry with joy almost as much as ABBA Voyage! Kate back catalogue binge still ongoing….
Golly, it is really good, isn’t it? Strong melodies, dynamic. And actually sounds like Tears For Fears. Finding orphaned singles regrettable as I...
It looks like I will have a spare ticket to see The League in Brighton tomorrow evening (plus Altered Images and Tom “Thompson Twins” Bailey) due...
Well the William Orbit versions of Rebound and The Stars Are Going Out are the ones that ended up on the album, while his versions of Heart Like A...
Isn’t there a William Orbit version of the entire album? Joanne said they went round to his house and were bemused that Orbit wouldn’t let them...
Didn’t Phil say it was their one LP that he wouldn’t mind vanishing off the face of the earth?
I’d totally be up for a remixed singles collection in the same vein as Kraftwerk’s The Mix. Particularly as it might make their career overview...
I like the Purple Disco Machine remixes of Don’t You Want Me. They retain everything good about the original but give it all a subtly different...
I don’t know the album, but ‘Universal’, the song, is absolutely devastating.
