So for some reason I chose today to start running around youtube looking at Elvis stuff, and some comment spammer keeps posting about a Squeeze reunion tour this summer.
So, I decide to look it up as I love Squeeze. I find that tonight they are playing at the Grove in Anaheim, which is about five miles from where I'm living these days. Only it's 8:58 which means they're probably about to go on stage and I probably couldn't get in anyway, and the seats wouldn't exactly be great and tickets probably quite expensive. It's like I've been teased by fate -- if I had done it two weeks from now I'd just shrug This is what I get for no longer hanging out here obsessively.
Otherwise, things are good! Hope the tour is successful enough they come back sometime. Grr.

Nice to see you back bobster.
I'm sure there'll be other tours if this is successful. I also hope they're going to write songs together again.
Sulkygirl1 - my understanding was the band was to be comprised of Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook and Glenn's band, The Fluffers. Is that right?

No, but if anyone could do that, it would be her.verbal gymnastics wrote:I take it she didn't drive her car through the hotel and literally run into him...
Yep, she went up and chatted to him a little bit. The usual fawning fan stuff. When I spoke to her last night she was on her way to the Greek Theater in LA to see if she could score some last-minute tickets to their gig there. I'll have to find out if she was successful.then verbal gymnastics wrote:I've never met Chris but Glenn is a great down to earth guy. Did your sister speak to him?

Love Argy Bargy - Vicky Verky is fave track = a fine example of a "soap opera" song. Such poignant lyrics and the tune really rattles along.
And Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti does include Last timer Forever and By your side which are great songs so its at least on a par with Sweets from a stranger!

Re: Squeeze reunion tour, reissues
Anyone know if there are plans to do the re-issues here in the States?

Re: Squeeze reunion tour, reissues
I spotted a deluxe edition reissue of East Side Story in my favourite local shop, but consider it was $40 I'm guessing it was probably an import.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
