Gold: The Spandau Ballet Singles Poll

xpost, well it's very 'disco'. Think it instilled in me a love of that kind of patta-cakey rhythm + octave bass

so has anyone seen the documentary?

yeah it's fantastic, one of the very best best music docs i've ever seen. surprising to me because i'm not a fan particularly. the rare-footage-and-no-on-camera-interviews style really works and it's especially good if you dig the idea of 2 hours of rare mostly-80s footage. some great stuff in it. Gary Kemp comes across as a bit of an egotistical tosser sadly.

I think you meant "fortunately"

No, but I did read through Tony Hadley's 2005 book 'To Cut A Long Story Short' again recently. The state of the band circa Heart Like A Sky was a bit grim, to say the least.

there's some real good stuff on that record though - some of their lightest material in tone!

The doc wasn't bad, but it's disorienting watching a band selling out arenas in 1986 that weren't in the United States.

god that was like a boring episode of Behind the Music

loved the footage but god gary is such a twat

god god god

the ah-tist pretending it's aaaaaaaaarrrt

"The Freeze" would have been my pick of the handful I know: "erogenous zones win again".

is that a lyric

here I stand again, the loser

One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now you're living in the lifeline

"She Loves Like Diamond" should be retitled "He Moans Like Bitchmode"

deeply slept on post from djp despite my love for "diamond"

lifeline is such a masterpiece

love is like a hard prison wall

a HIGH prison wall, s'il vous plais!

yeah ALFRED

I'm high now, alright

irl lol
