I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...

Thank you for the link leesmapman. I was already aware of them and found the last one does not include the first song they played (the Blur song Girls and Boys (PSB Remix)). For some reason it has been omitted from the youtube recording hence why I asked if anyone has their own recording.
If you love 80s music then you'll love the soundtrack to the new film about Eddie the Eagle, Britain's entrant to the 1988 Winter Olympics ski jump category. The film is called 'Eddie the Eagle' and features classic British 80s bands performing brand new original songs in a classic 80s...

Love the soundtrack. Have listened to it quite a bit over the last few days. I will always consider many of these artists classic voices for my generation.
I was quite surprised to read the posts below yesterday. Somebody posted a new topic about the artwork of Super, and he got a very rude response, for absolutely no reason:
1: It's a total coincidence. Only an idiot like you would pretend otherwise. Oh, and there are as many differences between the...

I think I realise how snarky and bitchy I am, so I'm probably going to disappear into the shadows. I'm sorry.
Please, if an overwhelming majority vote 'yes' in this poll, could you create a further sub-forum for Nickname's incessant, endless, poorly conceived and space-consuming polls, so that the main forum can be a easier place to navigate, with fewer inane threads that push the...

I dont think its fair to blame nickname alone for the many threads and the mess it creates. Sure he creates many silly polls which can be a good laugh or just anoying if youre not in the mood. But to many threads on simular topics is a general forum "problem". But I can live with it.
I'm looking for something similar and not just on a musical level, but also in terms of production. I really like intricately layered production and albums with big songs that all have single potential. Preferably something from the 90s with great energy, a dance/pop quality to it, primarily a male...

There also a album about to come out named Super, you might want to check out to :wink:
I'm in NYC on Sunday 10th April, and wondered if there are any PSB fans on here from NYC, and who may be pretty good at photography. I have something in mind (that I will discuss privately) and I need some help!
So Duran Duran has a new album coming out this September called Paper Gods.
They've released the first single Pressure Off

I really really loved the last one All You Need Is Now. Going by the first track they released if the rest of it is as good as that this one will also be a...

All You Need Is Now was amazing and surprised everyone, since no one thought they'd have an album that good ever again. Now they come out with this and it is sadly quite shitty; yet another desperate attempt to go mainstream.
I know many of you don't know anything about him. I wan you to take a moment to listen some of his songs. He was very famous in Spain in the 80's and 90's and maybe you like his music. I know it's old stuff but I'd like to know if you like it, if you are looking for good songs you never heard of....

I like it. Very of its time, which is no bad thing.
Just wondered if anyone had bought the Korg M1 app for the iPad. At £23 for the app plus in-app purchases it's a little steep.
I use GarageBand at the moment but want some new sounds.
Well, in 1986 this man was disappeared and now he has been found (meanwhile PSB was having a long career in pop music):

More interesting was this guy who went into a coma for a reason after a car accident when the first Terminator movie came out, and finally woke up 19 years later just when Terminator 3 came out. "I'll be back" indeed.
This new song by the Spanish group Fangoria includes the line "Love is a bourgeois construct" in spanish. Probably a little tribute to PSB since they are fans. Can't wait to get their new album next week.
I thought, for reasons best known to myself, that it might be vaguely interesting if occasionally we posted a chart from the past to lament the decline of popular music as we know it, castigate the "youth of today" for a distinct lack of taste, and generally blame Thatcher for the fall of...

The UK charts back then was really a melting pot of the cool, class and the oddballs
Though Bring Me Edelweiss was their bigger smash, This one was an eternal guilty pleasure. What a brilliant chorus
Will always remember that brilliant episode of 'Wogan' with Liza and the boys!
Another legend gone :(

There's talk of naming a bridge over the Shannon in Limerick after him.
Whatever people thought of him - and I think it ludicrous for an Irishman to accept a knighthood - nobody in Limerick would deny that he was the greatest broadcaster ever to come out of Ireland.
Awful news coming out of Cork tonight. Black, aka, Colin Vearncombe, best known for his song Wonderful Life, has passed away at Cork University Hospital. He had been in an induced coma since a car crash earlier this month, when the 53-year-old was travelling from his home in Schull to Cork Airport....

I only know him for that one song but I still quite like it and this is no way to die, no more than cancer.
Genius actor. Hans Gruber was one of the all-time classic movie villains. RIP.

I loved him in every movie I've seen him in, including Galaxy Questi, Love Actually and Sense And Sensibility (the only period movie I can sit through).
Breaking news on Sky News. David Bowie has passed away after battling cancer. A total one off legend. Can't quite take the news in right now.
The posts of the second Bowie topic are merged with this topic! So please don't wonder!

Greetings,
I was just reading the lyrics of 1984 and it gave me the chills, as it made me think of the PC-brigade and their charge towards a new breed of authoritarianism....

What an extraordinary artistic way of ending your career - and life! The scary video clip for "Lazarus" that really said it all but no one knew, and "Blackstar" being a type of cancer lesion... Yeah, Bowie's death really came as a shock, though it is obvious that the circumstances around the...
New Order 'Music Complete' coming out in September with an 8-disc colored vinyl Boxset with extended versions and artwork by Peter Saville...for only $99. Something the boys could learn from.
I also looking forward to the music as it's much more electronic than the last 20 years of minimal output.
This is my too long list, I'd like to hear yours too:
1. Music Complete - New Order
2. Art Angels - Grimes
3. The Desired Effect - Brandon Flowers
4. Chasing Yesterday - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
5. Little Black Book - Groove Armada
6. Daybreaker - Moon Taxi
7. Working Girl - Little...

1. New Order Music Complete. Still in The UK Top 100. 12 weeks and counting.
Impressive and well deserved, my Number 1 album of the year too with Camouflage "Greyscale" coming second and Jean Michel Jarre's multi-collaborations album on third.
:shock: at her 1st week sales figures! She has a phenomenal voice for sure, but interesting that her fanbase cuts across the ages..what is the magic formula ?
This is such a cool version and glad she doesnt take herself so seriously..

Controversial I know....i don't think she is that good a singer. ..
Hoping she stays with her partner for life, so that her next CD will be called 97 and I'll be long gone.
I just finished reading The Song Machine, the book that Neil recommended two weeks ago on the official site. Quite interesting... Anyway, I uploaded the entire book here... Enjoy :D
Thought I'd share some recent albums I liked for my fellow PSB fans, hopefully it helps you discover some you like.
I've been listening to Jimmy Somerville's 'Homage' the most lately, a strong album with no weak track, I think Some Wonder is one of the best songs this year so far:...

The Mew album (when it finally arrived!) turned out to be pretty awesome. Not as complex as the past two albums, but very beautiful and engaging nonetheless.
So, yesterday the title track to Duran Duran's new album was premiered over on the EW website. I have only listened to it once, so no real opinion yet. Go here to have a listen:
Morning! Just put the Tv on and just happened to hear that we can vote on who you would like to be on the new £20 note. I have put Alan Turing as he was "supposed" to be on a note. But, it never happened. :grumble: It is totally up to you who you vote for the address If the link does not work the...

Personally I hope for Gerry Anderson to get on the new banknote.
Duran Duran's new album doesn't come out until September (they're on the Warner Bros. label now), but their new single "Pressure Off" came out this past Friday. Have a listen here:
After quite a few listens do I think it's great? No. Is it good? Yes - very much a summer song. It's very Nile...
I bought the 180g re-issue of 'Quartet' by Ultravox. If you bought from Vinyl180 you were in with the chance of getting one of just one hundred copies pressed on clear vinyl.
Never for a second did I think I might get one of the hundred, but I did! Makes a change for me to have a bit of luck!...
I know it has Stephan Hague mixing it, but definitely loving this album and has a feel to it like PSB had written the songs for this overlooked album from a few years ago.
Last post
Yes, i bought this on vinyl - lovely production.
I know PSB would see it as going backwards, but I'd love a Hague produced album again.. more so than Stuart Price
I have something to ask... I guess there are people on this forum who know something 8)
How does an artist get music released if they don't have a recording contract? What does it require? What kind of contracts/agreements are there? And then, a tricky question: how could a fan help, or is it...

Thanks PoloPony! There is quite a lot of material about fan-funded music when I made a google search (now when I got hold of the term), but it all seems to be targeted to the musicians. What I could do as a fan, I have no idea! If there's anyone who could give me any hints, I would greatly...
