Just watched the Suede documentary - absolutely superb
Strange to see Neil Codling all grown up, I’d like to think of him as he was back in ‘96...elfin, cheekbones, making no attempt to play the keyboard.
Just like fans of Bettie Page who refused to see what she looked like in later years

The only bit that irritated me was when they covered Bernard Butler's departure ... Bernard himself has admitted he made mistakes around that time but it felt like they were queuing up to take a swing at him.
Richard Osman said something like he wasn't bothered at the time as it was always Mat (his brother) and Brett's band and they could get another guitarist. Might have been out of context but it was an ungracious and needlessly bitter comment about Bernard, who played an enormous part in creating the Suede sound. They were never as good before he joined or after he left.
Apart from that, very enjoyable.0 -

My body is waiting to be jacked
The day that went to No.1 is the day music died. Or, at least, started looking extremely poorly.Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

Screw you guys!
And ‘Being Boring’ is one of Axl Rose’s favourite songs (no, really!)...
After the PSB Los Angeles show in March, 1991, Axl Rose of Guns ‘N Roses came backstage and said the show was “gorgeous,” despite his favourite song of theirs, ‘Being Boring’, hasn’t been played. ‘The Pet Shop Boys versus America’ book gives us more insight:
They prepare to meet the gathering in the hospitality area. Outside—to the sound of Erasure, which is someone’s idea of suitable music for a Pet Shop Boys party—Neil And Chris walk straight into Axl Rose, who turns out to be unfailingly friendly and sweet. They had assumed that he couldn’t have known much about them, but the first thing he says is, “Gorgeous show—why didn’t you do ‘Being Boring’?”
He proceeds to rave about the show—“that was so cool, My October symphony, when they don’t ever sing”—and says that liking them is becoming a shared secret in his world. “I phoned up the singer of Nine Inch Nails and I said, ‘What’s that you’re listening to?’ and he said, ‘Oh, er, it’s the Pet Shop Boys.’” He tells me he plays ‘Behaviour’ in the car and his friends say, “What are you trying to make me like now...?” Then he tells me that there’s something in common between My October symphony and this song he’s struggling with in the studio at the moment, a song called ‘November Rain’. But his favourite song on Behaviour is ‘Being Boring’. “That bit about the seventies and the nineties. I can certainly relate to that, because I left home too...”0 -

F**K that person who wrote that. F**k them in the ear.
