Re: Closer to Heaven - London 2024

Never got the negative perspective on C2H. Saw the original run and the above the Stag version and both were brilliant. The music is also great, even though some songs are not my favourites (Vampires). I found both versions very funny too. As for the clunky dialogue, I am not a native speaker of En...

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray

Ordered this one immediately. I love hq surround mixes but hate downloads, so physical only for me.

This clearly has added value, it's nothing like the cassette or strobe vinyl edition.

Re: Zoetrope disc

I didn't know this. So you can't see anything without a strobe light? Is that really true tottenhammattspurs? I had always assumed they were cued to the 33rpm speed of the record! Nearly bought the Blur one last year but decided cost too much when I didn't know if the album would be any good. Diffe...

Re: Piano Room Month - 2024

Have listened to these songs a couple of time. Dudes to me is an odd choice for a Bowie song to be covered by them. It's pretty much a "greatest hit" even though it was not performed by him originally. And the Boys usually have an excellent taste in selecting covers that are not part of th...

Re: Zoetrope disc

Shipping from UK to Europe too expensive (over €14) plus prepare for 21% VAT as Blood Records does not participate in IOSS, plus custom fees that can ammount to €14.50 in my country. Sorry, but €80 or over for a single LP is too steep for me. eBay prices :( It looks nice though. Will still stick to ...

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen

My local cinema hall was just over half full. It was not the biggest theatre of course, but when I went to see Duran Duran A Hollywood High last year there were only 8 or so people. The Boys definately attracted a larger audience. It was also a one-off afternoon screening in my city, so no competiti...

Re: Celebrating Very Relentless - New Relentless release

I experienced a very long delay with the Annually VAT refund. Maybe because I am in their system now, things went quicker Might be but still cannot see how simply adding me to a possible VAT refunds database can delay my case so much significantly longer that for instance yours... It's obvious that...

Re: Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live At The Royal Arena Copenhagen

I am going to watch this film later today at my local Vue and must say my expectations soundwise are very low after having read these recent posts… Just got back from the screening here (Netherlands) and I did not notice any sound/volume issues apart from it being a mere stereo mix. The video was g...

Re: New Single - Loneliness

Listened to the songs once, and I definately love Loneliness and Through you. Party in the Blitz is not my cup of tea (Annually Agenda-type stuff, even poor for a B side)

The video for Loneliness will piss a lot of people of :) Love it.
