  4. I was looking for "Just One More Night" by Yellow Dog on YouTube but couldn't find it. Wasn't that a monster hit in the UK?? It was in Australia :P

  6. There was a closed thread on the Delta forum about this about 8 months ago. Everybody had their own theory about sporting injuries, medical conditions and just straight up, old fashion vanity. That's where those pics came from. Someone had obviously done heaps of research into the subject. I don't like seeing such things go to waste so I'm putting it on this forum hoping for some serious debate on the subject. I personally think it's the fault of a wide angle lens which has distorted her features in close up. If you check the photo album for the Empire Records photo shoot you'l see her nose is perfect http://thephotoalbum.org/thumbnails.php?al...arch=early+days Plus check out the still shots from the Say video http://thephotoalbum.org/thumbnails.php?al...search=younger+ If she's had a nose job ask yourself this: How come Delta and her mother have exactly the same nose??? :D

  8. It's not a nosejob. Studio 52 is as big as an average lounge room and the video was shot using a wide angle lens which distorted her features in close up. :P
  9. The Rowland album is a total classic. He covers a lot of soppy ballads (The Long And Winding Road, The Greatest Love etc) like bad karaoke PLUS he talks to himself in the intros and instrumental passages in each song. His version of Squeeze's Labelled With Love and The Hollies I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top are stand-outs. Because he changed the lyrics to most of the songs his version of Bruce Springsteen's Thunder Road was on the promo only. So that's the copy to own. The best bit about the album, though, is how it came to be recorded. Alan McGee, the head of Creation records wanted to licience Don't Stand Me Down so met with Rowland who, at the time was clean and sober. Rowland played McGee all these hot new songs he's written and agreed to record them for Creation. When Rowland delivered the album it was 100% cover versions of soppy love songs AND Rowland insisted on the drag cover. Best album ever on Creation. #2 Screamadelia
  10. Everyone records The Archies as being the ultimate one hit wonders but outside the UK they had heaps of hits. Jingle Jangle, Bang-Shang-a lang, Who's Your Baby to name just three. Get On The Line has one of the greatest riffs in teen pop history. The backing track was the closing theme for Archie's Giant Jukebox. Excellent. Talking Heads used to cover 123 Redlight(1919 Fruitgum Company). One of the CLASSICS of bubblegum :D Check out this site for the full glory of bubblegum music http://home.xnet.com/~reja/life/bubblegum/...egum_music.html Here's an quote on a couple of bubblegum classics
  11. Freddie's Dead. People Get Ready, stacks of songs by The Impressions.

    Yeah!!! Great stuff. The song was called Someday, one of the most under-rated Kylie songs ever. I love the bit where Green's vocal comes in. Classic :)

    Wood beez was a huge hit in Australia. Top 10 for weeks. Madness did an awful cover of The Sweetest Girl and (best of all) Green Gartside did a duet with Kylie on Body Language.

    The 'ticking clock' is probably a click track. The song sounds like a demo and the click track would be like a metronome keeping everything in time. The 'rain' is probably just 'squelshing' caused by poor reproduction. Having said that the song's okay :D
  16. "Death of a Ladies Man" Part of Spector's "Trilogy of Terror" along with John Lennon's "Rock'n'Roll" and Dion's "Born To Be With You"
  17. I liked him for 2 reasons. 1. His fuzzed out version of "That Makes My Baby Blue' arranged by the late great Jack Nitzsche, and 2. He's mentioned in Memories by Leonard Cohen produced by the great Phil Spector.
  18. Ha! Boy George is the biggest hypocrite ever. He once said Kylie being at #1 made his #1's seem less of an achievement. Now he's doing a duet with her. Phoey on him :angry:
  19. The moral of the story is don't cut a deal with America. Saddam was their ally. They armed him and supported him. Iraq is a tribal country and without a strong leader soon degenerates into civil war. If Iraq ever becomes a democracy, as America says it wants , a fundamentalist government will be elected and it'll turn into another Iran. Bush doesn't want this. Amercia wants chaos in the middle east. Not unity. If they lose a few men they don't give a tinkers cuss. It's all part of a much bigger plan. Saddam, Iraq and the soldiers fighting there are merely pawns in a much bigger game. People think America is losing the war but it's all going to plan :(

    Rock'n'roll by definition attracts an outlaw element. If a rocker dies you can't go out on the street and pick a replacement. It's like elite sport. It's a skill coupled with an attitude. When Elvis and the original rockers appeared they were like untamed animals from a part of America Washington and New York pretended didn't exist. They broke the rules of music and entertainment because they didn't live by the rules of polite society. To judge innovators and groundbreakers by a set of moral and legal values set up by land barons and media mogals to keep ordinary people in their place is to completely disregard the art and innovation of these people. James Brown was a supreme entertainer whos dance moves influenced every one from Michael Jackson to Iggy Pop. Papa's Got A Brand New Bag completely changed the way songs were stuctured, throwing the old verse, chorus, verse, chorus, middle8, chorus out the window. He had a direct influence on the New York No Wave movement of the late 70s and had a tribute album recorded by art rockers The Residents. At least 5 of his songs were covered by The Who. To reduce the mans achievement to a prison stay is the most stupid thing ever posted on the internet. And that's really saying something. The best rock music has always , and will always be dangerous and therefore attracts dangerous people. Yeah, it's good to hear a little Moby or Bono every now and then but, man, it's like driving a Volvo you'd be safe but you wouldn't want to do it every day of your life :D

    McCartney's spent time in prison in Japan. "Stumpy"'s been married to the guy and had first hand experience. It's much easier for a black dude to be convicted in the USA than a rich white guy. Look at the stats. The media is owned and controlled by rich white guys with an agenda. If a black guy is called 'King" (Rodney, Michael "king of pop" Jackson) he's going to be dragged down screaming.

    If it's James Brown, OJ Simpson or Michael Jackson everyone automaically assumes them to be guilty but if it's Pete Townshend or Paul McCartney people assume innocence and cry for 'hard evidence'. Pretty obvious the main difference between the accused :(
  25. That's possible why Johnny Rotten wore a Pink Floyd Tshirt with "I HATE" written across it. :lol:
