It probably fell out from between his rolls of fat.

I don't know if it's just his radio persona, maybe he's a nice bloke in real life, but I can't stand listening to the arrogant tosser
Saviour of Radio 1, no, that went when the legendary Mark and Lard left

I second that emotion.

I've no idea why - can anyone elaborate?

Only thing i can say you have crap taste in music to even have on radio 1

Or you have someone young in your family have it on, then i say sorry

Go, Eugene, go!

I heard "It's A Sin" when it was played on Radio 1 last Friday. I'd just got into the car for the drive home. I thought I was hearing things. PSB? On Radio 1? What's going on?

Of course, it'd be far more momentus if they were playing a new PSB song!

I was convinced either Neil or Chris had died.

and i thought i was morbid!
just today i was thinking that once psb are over/gone that i would appreciate their songs i hardly listen to, a lot more...e.g. i want a dog...
(sorry to be depressing)

My local station Signal 1 has played, Left to my own devices, Heart, It's a sin and West End girls in the last couple of months - and I don't listen to it that much!

On Monday I heard Liberation, of all tracks, on Finnish radio. It did make me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.

I heard Domino Dancing (much to my surprise) on a local FM station last year... and I was staggered at how good it sounded sandwiched between the usual crap.

(on second thoughts, maybe I shouldn't have been so staggered... but you know what I mean)

A rock station in Turkey frequently gives news about PSB but never plays a song. I e-mailed them, asking why and they told me that a big portion of their audience loves PSB and is pleased to hear news about them but their songs were outside the criteria the channel was supposed to maintain.

As this station has a really huge audience, a great portion means a considerable size of fans. So where are they? If there is such huge number of fans here why don't other mainstream channels play PSB except the classics, and once in a blue moon, something from Bilingual or Nightlife. When it comes to press, criticism or respectibility, PSB are huge, everyone knows them and their reputation transcends genres. But when it comes to playing their songs on radio, TV channels or clubs or parties, everyone plays three monkeys. Where is the sense in that?

This has been like that since Bilingual (Before was the last song the mainstream channels played to death) I think it is not so different in other parts of the world.

Its their fault for releasing shit singles.

The last PSB song with huge success was Go West (which it's not a PSB song) and the last PSB song with a little success was Se a vida é (another cover). It was the end of PSB career in popularity terms.
