A somewhat silly idea for an eventual Alternative 3: Onus. I was noting how many "B-sides" there have been since Format was released 8 years ago and was thinking that "Bonus" would be a good, concise title for the next collection. But I put a PSB twist on it (a la Concert/Concrete) and came up with ...

I made my choices the other day for Geowayne's Hotspot-era Ratings Project and HFaM ranked the highest of all the tracks for me. It's a real lush epic with a "cushioned" atmosphere and soaring beauty.

This CD flows beautifully - it's one of PSB's best-programmed albums.

But - I have been substituting the sublime At Rock Bottom in place of the amusing but irritating Wedding in Berlin lately.

I hope a way can be found to continue all polls without trolls and cheaters messing things up. The Geowayne site, and especially its surveys, is a staple of my PSB enthusiasm.

Both lists show the tracks in alphabetical order: 6 best (two per album): Burning the Heather The Dictator Decides Fluorescent Hoping for a Miracle Into Thin Air Love is a Bourgeois Construct came close: Bolshy Inner Sanctum Say It To Me Thursday Twenty-Something 5 worst (or more like 5 most problem...

I Don't Wanna Opening Title Card says "Earlier that Night" Cut to the drag queen from the Monkey Business video contemplating going out He's visited by many of the cast of characters from the MB vid trying to convince him to "go out" He finally relents, puts on the attire from the MB video and the ...

I like that hint of Music for Boys re the sped-up "ah-oo" voice in Happy People.

Hoping for a Miracle - another winner. (No, not another "Winner" - that would be Dreamland - but another sumptuous Hotspot track.) I like how so many of these tracks have this deliberately distorted, hazy, "cushioned" sound. The blurred cover photo fits well with the dreamy sound. Is this album mean...

... the good ballads such as "only the dark"..and "you are the one"....THEY DONT BUILD musically or vocally. if you heard the first chorus...you've heard the second and the third. why neil didnt add vocal counter melodies or tag lines is beyond me...at least beef up the orchestration. they just sta...

Greetings, Do I wait until tomorrow to listen to the album properly on my stereo speakers or go ahead and listen to the rest now on YouTube? Or just listen to only one more track? Or two...or three....augh! "I wanna" hear it all now, but I want to hear it properly sequenced on my "good" speakers fo...

I'm in Seattle so it won't be for another 20-27 hours until I receive my CD from Amazon. I've so far listened only to the three singles, leaving the remaining seven tracks to be fresh listening experiences tomorrow. But I see that (because it's the 24th elsewhere in the world) the PSB channel has up...

A Nile Rodgers/Chic influence in the bass?

Oh man! I'm loving Neil's funky vocals. Now this is a bad ass dance track!

It is such a stress reliever to bust those lights up - I like to mow them all down in a fast row. I'm sorry they're gone already; was hoping they'd be up at least until New Year's.
