She’s now braced to discover the Style Council.ADAM & THE ANTS, BLANCMANGE, JOHN FOXX, RODDY FRAME, KYLIE MINOGUE, RAY PARKER JNR, REM and PAUL WELLER are among the many, many artists releasing special items for this year’s UK Record Store Day which will take place on April 19th. Without pictures, she’s unperturbed by Bruce Foxton’s haircut and seems happy with the whole experience. Might’ve overheard me slagging off Chris Moyles. She’s heard bad things about DJs somewhere. Paul Weller / Pet Shop Boys - Cosmic Fringes remixes Sealed / Mint / Brand New Condition Item will be sent in a protective vinyl mailer, fully tracked and insured, signed for on delivery. Junior dances to ‘Going Underground’, and laughs and points at her dad standing by the stereo again. In fact, I stuck it on a tape she asked me to make for her a year or two later. My mum had her own take on it, because she told me she didn’t like me playing the nasty record, but I had the last laugh when I secretly bought the 7”. The reams of gibberish I must’ve sung along to ‘A Town Called Malice’, the dodgy copy I’d recorded off the Top 40.
Jam lyrics continued to cause me problems. Quality Synthetic Lawn in Fawn Creek, Kansas will provide you with much more than a green turf and a means of conserving water.

A brass band was playing, the boys’ brigade was there, adding up to a fitting send-off for the brave mod explorer. Weller was standing proudly on the lip of a pit, a yawning chasm leading underground to the centre of the earth. She thought it should be higher up this chart, but I said I had to put some space between the Jam singles.Īs a kid, I thought this was the start of some kind of Jules Verne adventure. For what it’s worth, she cut some rug to this song like she hasn’t for a while. She rocked out to an arrhythmic beat I was tapping on her toy drum at the weekend, unable to help herself. I’m worried that Junior’s dancing doesn’t discriminate. Hindsight shows us the tension that was pulling Weller towards the more mannered stylings of his Council. ‘The Bitterest Pill’ has a beautifully succinct lyric, a string-soaked, white-boy soul tune and rousing choruses. A law that should be enforced more often, come to think. I felt the pain of their break-up keenly, I didn’t understand why they’d stop. ‘A Little Peace’ taking the Eurovision crown, The Falklands “Conflict”, a harrowing single term at boarding school, the Kids from Fame, the Goombay Dance Band, the lion sleeps tonight, dropping out of the Cubs to practise being Zico in the back garden, spending £1.25 on my first 7” single. Face it – you’re impressed just reading about it.ġ982. Junior wielded the plastic Stratocaster throughout, showing her credentials as a proto-Hendrix by imploring me to watch her playing it with her chin. Like so many greats, it even has a massively clunky metaphor at its heart. Edgy, memorable, carrying universal appeal around in bags, it’s a classic pop moment in a year brimming with them. ‘Message In A Bottle’ was a monument from the minute it was released. Of course, it’s possible that people simply hate his music but a) check out those zillion units and b) come on, some of it’s been smart. And the fact he still cuts a dashing figure in middle-age. Does he get a tough rap? There’s no doubting he’s conceited, but really everyone’s just jealous of Sting and his month-long mating rituals. The most hated man in pop? Even Paul Weller – hardly Mr Popular himself – spat at a picture of Sting backstage at the Royal Albert Hall recently.
And that Jamaican accent was fooling no one – I mean, have you ever seen a whiter man? His only competition was, erm, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The lad really needed to sort out his diction. Anyway, that’s one for the After Dinner circuit.
In all the excitement, my tape recorder broke, but she let me have an extra five minutes once I’d taught myself shorthand. Well, she draped herself across it, while I perched at the end, asking questions she’d answered a thousand times before. I shared a bed with Debbie Harry last year. You know the suspects: Wham!, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud… hmmm. I’m always seduced by a band that respects the single, that can put so much care in for so sustained a period. We all love the song, know the words – even the French ones on this Best Of version – and Junior sways in front of her sister, hips in time to the gossamer rhythms.īlondie were bang into their flow by this point, succeeding ABBA as the singles band du jour, knocking the classics out at a rate to make Paul Weller jealous not that he was far behind. Light as air, carefree and – what? – hard to get? Junior’s mum pointed out that Junior and Juniorer are both Sunday Girls (“You were born on a Sunday, J” “I was very born on a Sunday”) but perhaps not in the way Debbie Harry is hinting.
