The goofy fun on the White Album sounds forced to me, like a rictus grin.
I'm talking Back in the USSR, Ob-La-Di, Why Don't We Do It In the Road?, and Birthday. They're just letting it rip and having a ball.

I like the first two.

You should like the other two, too. It would make you happier.

Haven't heard a Who comp for a long while. This is a great one I've got on tonight.

Also been listening to the Tears for Fears Seeds of Love deluxe reissue. Hardly ever play the original CD, but the extra versions etc make for a good listen. I need to resist buying it because I would probably play it once and never listen to it again.
I've never been able to get into that one. I think Curt Smith left the band about halfway through recording, and to my mind, something about that shows.
I read that he was going through a divorce and spending a lot of time in the States, so wasn’t involved very much. Also he announced he was leaving the band before the tour, so that probably didn’t make for a great time. I don’t think there was any fall out, just a change in circumstances. I have definitely enjoyed listening to the extra discs and have bitten the bullet and ordered the box set. Apologies to the late, great Hellboy.

Back in stock, if anyone is interested. Tends to sell out quickly and the price go up faster than Gamestop shares!

Checking these folks out, I can't remember who told me about them. Sometimes they remind me of Mission of Burma with a woman singing.

Hello,

I thought I'd post this:


along with a request to see if anyone owns either of their albums. They are among the most stereotypical new-wave bands but they're good at it. I'm anxious to acquire their albums but am at a loss as to how to do it.

Man, this is my new (old) favorite band, I got drunk and listed to these all night, then I listened to the two I already had, then I listened to them again!

I should love The Pop Group, I really should. If we Venn diagrammed them, they intersect with so many bands and albums that I adore. Yet they've never done much for me. Too harsh, too hectoring, too squawky. Never been a fan of Mark Stewart's voice and delivery. But I decided to check out the new album and … well, it's okay. Not something I expect to return to often, but it's mostly listenable.
I always want to like them more than I do. Though I do like them.

I do think 'We Are All Prostitutes" is a legit classic, though.
I'm dedicating the next couple days to trying them again, consume the whole batch, as well as some of Mark Stewart's New Age Steppers material.
I realise it was six years ago, but how did it go with the New Age Steppers? Just come across their stuff and really like what I have heard so far.
