Erasure
Do I really need to? Simply, I see a lot more young people rocking the tees and buying the old vinyl from those bands while there's scant mention of ABBA. I suppose you can say the same of other 60s artists too. Over here, in the states, I thi…

I am still loving it, and anticipate it having staying power with me.

Erasure
They were on my periphery as a kid, but I really didn't embrace them full until the Erasure cover EP Abba-Esque. Still, as well-crafted as ABBA pop is, my tastes have shifted to a more synth-driven sound (more, as ABBA is fairly reliant on synt…

Double-A? Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but that seems like low confidence in Systemagic.

No offense taken here either. My anorak remains wrinkle-free. ;)

I read posts on here sometimes with much amusement. Is it a man thing? Or a gay man thing? Sometimes the comments are so, well, possessive and a tad dramatic lol! Get your hands off my pre-release dated double B sided lesser spotted double chocolat…

I sure know how to sidetrack a thread. Actually, sorry seems like an English favorite and it seems to work just fine for small things also. Hate to say it, but those not fond of Brits tend to harp on about this about being a sign of "weakness…

How do you feel today?
Well... despite the new home, this place still feels the same as it did all those years ago. Hello again those who remember me. Don't worry - I'll behave this time. I knew better than to make such promises. :)

Robert Miles (1969-2017)
Alas, I missed that (though I was on the old GMB - still feel new again).

Vinyl Records
I do like a box set too. I've been glad to see several (CD) versions of the last few Erasure albums on Lexer Music or Pledge, and a BMG box anthology too, but not one for the new album coming (despite many formats coming from Mute - including c…

Love it, but not sure it surpasses Systemagic for me. I'm glad we got a selection of mixes, but if it was at the cost of Systemagic having similar treatment, I might come to resent Anymore. Well, not in the grand scheme of things, just in the …

It's worse when FB does the excluding (inside joke) ;)

Really jonesing for a 12", but I only see evidence of a radio edit promo (not even an itunes remix package yet). This seems criminal.

Vinyl Records
I'm a vinylphile. In fact, I have a wall full of boxes from the last move I still need to get shelved. Certainly, art plays a large part in why I have a lot. The next reason being obscure mixes and versions (they're at least 2/3 12"s…

I should have known...Facebook, my old nemesis (long bloody story). If someone could PM me about that, I'd appreciate it.

Sounds like I really shouldn't ask if you collect vinyl. :)

I first heard the phrase as a child while watching Are You Being Served? (Yes, explains much about me) Looked it up then, and saw it was a traditional departing phrase given, but more often on cards than verbally. It stuck in my mind as a eureka mo…

Frankly, I'm actually stunned no one mentioned seeing that pic before.

Trilobites look a bit too much like something more contemporarily "creep-crawly", and I don't mean Horsehoe Crabs. Speaking of which, I wonder if a shop ever did a choccy facehugger? *shudder* *yum*

Erasure
Well, I was hoping you'd say Violator, as Chorus from Erasure is surprisingly on par for the same period. I've always felt those two albums to be counterparts; even if just in their analogue sound.

Do they still say "Thank you for your custom" in any shops there?

Bit OT, but saw this pic today, and it's reminiscent of someone...can't pin it down though. Perhaps others have seen it before? ;)
