@black-celebration mentioned Asha’s older sister, Lata, who tended to overshadow her. I think we should have a listen. No expense spared for this concert! It is all pretty impressive and she has a fine set of […]

@black-celebration I agree with your first comment. I just hope your second isn’t true.

Oh @black-celebration, no, no , no. Oh Lori is a soft rock belter

@black-celebration I think Send In The Clowns was additionally hampered by being ubiquitous in the 70s. All those female singing acts on New Faces belting it out, it also being popular with the guest spot singers […]

… and, just then, a new and quite unexpected Morrissey album is announced, heralded by the title track. Begs the question: are you a secret right-wing propagandist, @black-celebration?

@Black-Celebration I cannot see your entry for Wordle 1,642

Just a few months perhaps @black-celebration, but what months they were. Was there ever a tighter Nordic combo ? They were one of the main reasons I moved to Sweden. I actually own a copy of their […]

Calling @Black-Celebration!

@black-celebration you will find that changing in your next few years. I remember falling over in my 50s and people laughing. If it happens now in my early 60s, I get messages asking if I’m OK “after your fall”.

@Black-Celebration That joke is the very definition of pants

Watching the catch-up bit (the bestish part as you don’t have to hear all the songs) The best part is the voting of course. I see what you mean about Malta @black-celebration

How will you look in the t shirt do you think @black-celebration? No idea I reckon…

@black-celebration Basildon is – or used to be when I conducted buses through it – a shithole. The only bright spot was the Carreras cigarette factory – if you scored the early morning route to the factory from […]

@black-celebration while, in some golf clubs, a breach of etiquette is almost as serious as cheating, I think it should be a rule that you don’t look at the thread first. As we know from a previous competition, […]

@Black-Celebration It’s his sense of entitlement that gets me. He’s no more outstanding a footballer or civic-minded a person than previous 100-cap England captains like Billy Wright and, World Cup winner, Bob […]

@black-celebration Clem was/is a great drummer. Jimmy Destri was the cool one though. What with his smoking and all.

Very true @black-celebration. Let’s hope the selections on this thread reflects that. That festival sounds remarkable. King! Not heard them for a few decades. Heaven 17’s first single in 1981 was banned by the […]

Good on you @black-celebration! I knew nothing about the band back in the day except for hearing Heaven give me words on a car radio may years ago and thinking what a wonderful song it was. Yours is the […]

You are quite right @black-celebration. Thanks. I had intended to post Heaven give me words. I should have checked. But that is very interesting about Jewel and Duel being the same song. A pun! Those witty Germans!

Thanks a lot @Mousey and @black-celebration.. Two very fine tracks and both extremely catchy. While we’re in your neck of the woods, here is a famous Aussie Beatles tribute band, the Beatnix, with a song you all know.
