Re: Single or album version preferences

Thursday is a real conundrum. They fixed the crappy inaudible vocal for the single, then cut it to shreds for the radio friendly length.

Re: Next Single

Honestly I can live without "...Dudes" ever seeing the light of day again. It was kind of cringeworthy. Maybe a studio recording would improve it, but I think it was a poor choice for a PSB Bowie cover. They say "Never meet your heroes" but maybe there should be a "Never co...

Re: New album Nonetheless

What's the deal with the signed cards? What are they bundled with? On Facebook the best answer is "Oh they're all sold out", which is about as helpful as a tomato on wheels. Its indeed sold out on the store. You had to order within first couple of days to get it before it sold out. • None...

Re: Nonetheless - Blu-ray

Those of us with longer memories know how many versions/vinyl sleeves of West End Girls Parlophone released. And Release had how many different sleeves?
