shhhh ... do I hear the sound of whingeing from the other "active" thread ?

Well, it's fairly subdued at least.

My take: a good song part-smashed is always going to be better than some slab of crap devoid of spectral or dynamic tomfoolery.

Similarly, there was an interview in 'out' magazine with Wendy and Lisa where they laid in to Trevor Horn for being really homophobic (based on his jewishness) while working with them on an unreleased album. (www.holymoly.co.uk for the link)

As this is the same bloke that produced Pet Shop Boys and Marc Almond (were TaTu ever *really* gay?), and personally took a business risk on Frankie, I can't help feeling this was a last desperate measure to try and get something emotional out them when they turned up with a bunch of dull old passionless shite to record.

I doubt you'd survive in the industry if you were homophobic would you ? .. certainly not at his level without it being red top headline news, and as you say Tom, his track record kind of speaks for itself.

Anyone else wish they were going to Rosfest ? .. Geetar, you going, you're that side of the pond arent you ?

I console myself that the DVD will contain the best bits. And very little of the endless hanging around.

I'd have gone, if only.....

Realistically speaking, with our return to Blighty only a few weeks away, there was no way to take the time off for this.

Very sad, to miss such a one-off (FrostBeard), but I'll do my best to make up for it once back on the hallowed turf.

I'm with you John .. the hanging around kind of makes the rest of it, I love the anticipation before a gig .... especially with a beer !

Hey rog.... it'll be beyond odd if the first time we ever actually meet up is at a gig in Britain.
