He's in very good shape for a 50 year old.

I haven't got Secrets so i was just guessing at the titles.

Susan sang lead vocals on 'Love is all that matters', it sounded better than the recorded version as i think Phil sounds rather strained singing it.

During 'being boiled' there was footage of silkworms spliced together with Nazi rallies. Is sericulture used as a metaphor for fascism?

heh, only if phil's rewriting history. IIRC his explanation for the lyric was: "i read a book on buddhism and got really confused".

The evening news are a bit stingy with their stars

**I haven't got Secrets**

Bloody hell, leigh! GO! BUY! NOW! It's colossal!

(I keep saying this on ILM, but there's not much evidence that anyone has actually done so.)

I will. I was explaining their situation to my 58 year old mother (who thinks philip's a bit of a fox'. She reckons that the key to them regaining chart success is to reissue 'electric dreams'. I didn't have the heart to point out that it wasn't a league tune in the first place.

x-post oops, please overlook my punctuation failure

i, er, haven't bought "secrets" either. and you've already shouted at me for this, Dr C. i think leigh and i might have talked about this in the pub on saturday (if not, i meant to).

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Did I shout? Sorry, but it's such a great record.

Used and new from £4.99 or so on Amazon.

I'll have to wait till next year cos i'm stoney at the moment. I'll have to keep an eye out for Crash in the bargain bins. I wonder if haggling would work, i'd like to pay as little as possible as i'm aware it's a stinker.

I was also going to try and pick up Earcom 1 because it's got another Graph song on it. It's priced around £30 on froogle but the bidding at ebay is only at a fiver just now and the auction closes in 6 hours, pity i don't have a paypal account.

What happened to the rest of my post earlier? Maybe I used silly brackets and confused the interweb. Don't think I said anything interesting, mind.

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 16:41 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, i thought you'd just got over-excited or something and had to go and mop up.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 17:10 (eighteen years ago) link

and woah, earcom 1 ... SIGN UP FOR A PAYPAL ACCOUNT NOW AND GET BIDDING!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 17:11 (eighteen years ago) link

I've emailed my brother and asked him to bid for it. I'll go to a tenner, there's only one other bid so far.

― leigh (leigh), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Some lucky bugger got Earcom 1 for £6.50.

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 15 December 2005 09:38 (eighteen years ago) link

this is where i'd love to go: "YES IT WAS ME LOL PWND." but it wasn't. honest.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:18 (eighteen years ago) link

The wee bruv will be getting an earbashing when i see him!

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:28 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Earcom 1's come up again, i've put a bid in myself this time.

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 5 January 2006 13:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Pah, i was outbid by £1.50, how annoying.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 6 January 2006 08:50 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

Earcom 1 came up yet again, i won it this time. Including postage from the US it came to about £15. Seems a bit ironic that they'll be posting it back to where it came from originally.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 17 February 2006 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

twelve years pass...

in case anyone cares, they do play Being Boiled on the current tour. First song of the encore and a crowd-cleaner for sure leaving only the die hards. Also "they" a bit of a misnomer since all the music is prepared and played by three hired hands (who are pretty good).

has that not been the case for three decades tho

― chilis=lyrics...hypocrits (sic), Monday, 14 May 2018 14:44 (five years ago) link
