[Suedehead]

Don't know
Why she's in my
Hand
can't Figure
What it is
But
I
lie
lie
lie



Again.

I got big Bird on the FISHING line
He's my favourite HOOKER of the whole bunch

Listened to Hey Jupiter yesterday and it’s of course still stuck in my head

 

[Suedehead]

I go from day to day.
I know where the car is parked.
I know where the cupboards are.
I know he isn't you.

and if I'm wasting all your time this time
I guess you never learned to take
and if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

something's just
something's just
keeping you numb...

 

[Suedehead]

An album.

Honestly the sheer venom when she spits out 'WASTING all you TIME' in this. *chef's kiss*

I got the deluxe reissue a couple of years ago - really good pressing. Highly recommended. Pretty sure it's still in stock as well.

Love this song/video so much

 

[Suedehead]

"We knocked on a lot of doors. And the gay clubs opened the doors. They [gay men] taught me how to become a woman."

 

[Suedehead]

"What was it about their experience that informed you?"

"Tenderness. They taught me about tenderness."


What a diamond of a woman.

2000 Putting the Damage On

I was today years old when I discovered the title isn't a reference to the footballer.

Sorry to @Suedehead and to Tori but I'm just not in a Tori mood lately. I went to Play Pele and she was like, "fuck off", so then I thought about playing O2O and she was like, "you know....? No".

 

[Suedehead]

Well that’s ok it happens to me too

Anyway different album but our queen is in BBCs 11 albums that defined 1994

Deserved!

I was completely besotted by ‘Under The Pink’. One of those special for a lifetime albums for me. The other standouts that year (that I recall off the top of my head) were ‘Live Through This’ and ‘Dog Man Star’.

I will comment on ‘Boys For Pele’. I’ve been in a bit of a poppier, namely a Saint Etienne and Sophie Ellis-Bextor RENAISSANCE, frame of mind recently so will talk about it when in loon mode. Might dig out the 2CD reissue this week.
