The point about collaboration seems reasonable and accurate to me. There's also an argument to be made that Von needs to shake up his collaborators every now and then to keep things fresh. So while Wayne's time in the band was fruitful, by the time he left it had probably run it's natural course. Th...

Yeah, I found mine the other day too, also surprisingly held up well!

Today I get to explain to somebody that a mailbox created in June can't have emails prior to June in it. And I just know I'm going to be asked "why".

Not really "currently geeking" other than to observe that the BOFH is true, all of it.

I swear, I think they are watching this place and trolling us. Ben, on Facebook: "Wanted: suggestions for good UK/Euro PR companies to release a single. DM me!"

Respond, pretend to be such a company, and see what happens next.

We Built This City On Rock And Roll.

In Leeds.

Go on, you know everyone would love it.

Yeah, it's obviously a BBC licensing restriction which is a bit of a pain for sure. I can't imagine Von is too happy about his fans in Belgium or Germany not being able to get them either.

Yayyy! Works here too!

It's surely the tune that the old cat died on.

Oh you.

Is it bad of me that I initially thought it was this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swT-x9W6ktQ

Thanking you everybody!

It was Ravey Davey who told me (among others) in Bristol; the fact that it didn't come from Von does, IMO, give it somewhat more credibility as Von's statements about releases have been known to not quite work out in the past. At that time there was little or no indication that the rest of the tour ...

I don't remember anything about labels, but Merciful Release with some kind of licensing/distribution deal would surely work?

I on the other hand consider myself lucky that I still get to go into the office. The vast majority of my colleagues do have the ability to work from home, and I could as well if I wished, but with my job there's always something that needs to be done onsite, and because I live locally I'm the one w...

Mine arrived earlier this week; just forgot to confirm here.

The rumour did come from a reliable source - i.e. not Von - and at least two of us heard it separately, so it does seem to be a little better than the usual.

This was in Bristol as well, when it must have been obvious that the post-UK dates were at least at risk.

Happy birthday Simon. Not the best of circumstances for it, but hopefully a good one for you nonetheless.

Referring to a certain rumour a few of us heard on the recent tour; apparently we'll think Genevieve is lovely.

Without a tour I'd guess next year, but maybe they'll surprise us yet.

Got my shipping alert email earlier this morning so it's on the way!

Fixed that for you.

So he's generalising over 1981 to 1985.

SGWBM explicitly covers the 4 years 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. Nothing was made with Kenny Giles post-83.

Happy birthday to the wee man!
