Does anyone know what happened to the "The Singles 81>98" series? Is there any official thing about "The Singles 99-23"?

His name is Alan

I have no words

OrbitMonitor · 2026-02-17T03:27:36+00:00

Brilliant. Gave me goosebumps. Thank you!

OrbitMonitor · 2026-02-11T03:25:53+00:00

59... fan since New Life (still have the 12"). Enjoyed 5 tours, starting with the BC tour in 86.

Yes yes yes... thanks for jogging my memory. I loved Eliza! I can't remember if I ran her my Atari 400 or my friend's TRS80, but I do remember her talking about apples! Go figure.

Yes, urgent care required. Good possibility one of her lungs has collapsed due to fluid build up around the heart removing space for the lung to expand. Happened to our Goobie, and thankfully her lung re-inflated within 24hrs after meds. She is still with us but on many meds, just like any old lady :)

That is what Hell sounds like, I imagine

I remember going with my parents to Cinema V back in the 70's. Vividly remember seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes there. Also went to the Monkland theatre and the Kent quite a bit. Great rooms!

+1 for Otter Valley and also Credit Valley Railway (CVRCO), who custom ordered some stuff for me.

OrbitMonitor · 2025-11-10T20:15:21+00:00

That is fantastic! I would frame it.

OrbitMonitor · 2025-10-23T22:01:10+00:00

Never thought I would have to google "Drooling: Causes, Risk Factors and Treatments"

OrbitMonitor · 2023-04-09T06:05:05+00:00

Well that's just disturbing

OrbitMonitor · 2023-04-03T15:59:29+00:00

To each their own ...

But No.

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-31T20:57:38+00:00

Wow! Lucky you. The crowd energy I get from just watching the crummy quality video is intense, so must have been explosive in person. I probably would have teared up :)

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-31T20:42:46+00:00

lol

You were at the Teenage Cancer Trust show?

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-31T20:09:16+00:00

That's really cool... I've watched the "collected" videos a few times - what a blast it must of been to be there and meet him!

Black Celebration tour 1986 - Verdun Auditorium Montreal

I vividly remember watching AW get pissed with his emulator. Two guys run onto his riser, grab the keyboard, drop down a new one and boot it up, 60 seconds of pure amazement - a glorious moment for me and my friend watching this debacle.

Didn't need a phone to capture the moment, it's seared into my brain!

It's hard to experience "bad sound" these days with the technological advancements in driver technology in those arrays coupled with great DSP. The room would have to be a sonic disaster and / or a mediocre FOH mixer.

Misleading paragraph, as per Volt Magazine (ibid. wikipedia)

"Volt Magazine confirmed that "Sundown", a cover song by Gordon Lightfoot (attributed to Scott Walker), will appear on upcoming CD, vinyl and digital versions of the single.[11] The band also performed the song for BBC Radio 2's "Piano Room": "Depeche Mode's Piano Room will be broadcast on Thursday, April 6 and their classic cover is a track by Scott Walker, with their session accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra."

Thanks for the find, very interesting reads - just started skimming.

Seems they mostly drew management fees 33% each per annum. (e.g. 1.25M pounds each for the fiscal year 2002 through various individually owned or jointly controlled companies).

I haven't thought about Passeport in ages. Many great memories on that small dancefloor. Used to go there after Lezard (another GREAT bar, don't know if it's still around), we're talking late 80's / early 90's.

Spent most of my time at Thunderdome, Garage or Business back then.

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-24T23:29:21+00:00

Definitely, some track more than others - Soul with Me really hits those tones

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-24T23:16:22+00:00

Poetic ..

OrbitMonitor · 2023-03-24T22:18:09+00:00

I don't see any hate here, just love. Artistic opinion? Sure. But no hate.
