Ok , right said Fred.

" We Oughta be Ashamed"

But you have to remember that we're having to find things to do whilst whiling away the days (weeks/months/years) waiting for an announcement of an EC tour of the UK. Hence more of this 'humour' is at least a possibility .

Surprised it didn't have kecks and LEDs.

Then we would have had a " Suit of Lights"

This is great news!

I really hope that "Elsie" tours to promote this in the UK (and doesn't just hook up with Blondie in the US like her alter ego)!

Thanks for the update MooT

Yes he was in Liverpool. Snapped in 81 Renshaw St a v.small indie record store.
I assume he was also checking on progress of Face in the Crowd at the Royal Court.
Sulky, he did come to mine, but I was out on the allotment. It's a plot

I found it satisfactory at best, .... Am I the only one here who doesn't think Look Now is a masterpiece? Nope, count on me in that regard too. But there are tons of other LPs that I do think are epic, so there are plenty of alternatives vying for my attention. Can't remember the last time I gave P...

I rushed out to buy the 2CD version from a shop today. Seems to be selling well Probe Records - frequented by the adolescent Declan MacManus - had sold out of their vinyl by lunchtime. I hope he has a hit on his hands. If you're a big fan of Painted from Memory you will love it, and if you're not (l...
