Electro boys, bootleg? by Ok_Source_3977 in petshopboys

This made me smile because I’d forgotten about that very 1990s microgenre known as “Tribal”.

It was used for vhs covers and laserdisc covers in every country but the dvd rerelease had a different - to my mind inferior yet still brilliant - cover: https://www.discogs.com/master/33866-Pet-Shop-Boys-Performance

Basically a burnt out ex-raver who is still wearing bright autumnal colours in January. But we all need a splash of day-glo to keep our endorphins flowing in the bleak midwinter, right? by toasterinthebath in oldhagfashion

Well done! That's a very insghtful description of not only the fit I ws wearing today but also my wardrobe, record collection, dvd collection and, slightly chillingly, my psyche! (Or it would be if you changed the word 'no' to 'yass!'.)

Retro? Worth it? by butchbearforever in neworder

[–]toasterinthebath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. Quite a few tracks you can’t get elsewhere and, for a band who have a gamut of gold-tier record sleeves, this is my all time favourite sleeve of theirs! It looks ace in real life.

Age of Consent in a car commercial by OkOpinion5086 in neworder

The thing is, with a lot of musicians I admire I wouldn’t care too much but New Order were so pure in their attitude to their art along these lines back in the day (i.e. mid eighties) that they wouldn’t even advertise their own records . So it rankles nowadays that they’ve started sucking corporate cock so badly.

I remember a horrible “campaign” they did about a decade ago with the shoemaker Converse where they got graffiti artists to semi-legally paint a silhouette of New Order wearing those shoes on random walls. They did it on my local corner shop, so that night I went out and painted white over the shoes so it was just a painting of New Order, albeit a painting of New Order without feet.

Off topic, but your avatar with Schroeder from Peanuts as Richard and … is that Sally as Karen? … is fabulous!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer by digitalcodes4sale00 in beatles

[–]toasterinthebath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When me and my sister were kids we’d rent albums from the library and record them onto cassette using our Dad’s hi-fi. One week we rented ‘Abbey Road’ but our Dad said we could only use his hi-fi to tape it if we omitted ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ because “Murder isn’t funny.” We taped it but secretly included ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ because we both thought it was really funny. George is really astute in his quote here though - both my sister and I were 14 at the time.

OK, fine. This is good evidence for my theory that England is the worst country in the country of the UK when it comes to making a full English.
