A couple of questions:

 

a]. Apart from the assistant to the Irishman on Lurve Island, who is Kelly Brook? Does her hair always look like that?

 

b]. Who is Michael Gecko [sp?]?

 

c]. Is 'spooning' something specific or a generic term?

 

d]. For Thornsy and Zealster: Changing the subject, what do you think of the band 'Everything but the girl'?

a) Kelly Brook once hosted Big Breakfast - and went out for a couple of years with Jason someone (he was in Snatch???) friends with Madonna's hubby. She's now engaged to Billy Zane - he was Rose dewit-becater (Mmmmm, spelling....) in Titanic before Leo got his way with her...

 

b?Michael Greco was Beppe in Eastenders way back in the late 90's.

 

C) spooning is when 2 people (male/female or male/male or female/female cuddle up to each other at night. One infront, the other behind holding them. The say the person on the outside of the spoon is the protector in the relationship....

 

Jane Middlemiss, she did do something - don't recall what - she just has an annoying voice.

 

You been watching that love island thing then AFF?

d) I'm not overly keen, AFF. I prefer their earlier stuff, and their cover of I Don't Want To Talk About It was quite nice, but hated their 90s material. That remix of Missing that stayed in the charts for what seemed like years was pretty dreadful, I thought!

 

I can guarantee Thornsy won't like them, as I don't think Tracey Thorn indulges in much "shouty pop"!

Hi Claire.

 

Thanks for that. What's 'Eastenders'?

 

Love Island is a truly fascinating programme. The concept is not to my taste but the detail of the behaviour of the people involved is really quite remarkable. Astonishing case studies.

 

Hi Zealster. I was away for the weekend and heard a track of 'Everthing but...' in a ladies fashion shop. It came from their album 'Wouunded Whispers', apparently. The danger is that it might be the only good thing they've done, of course, so I wont rush out to buy it. "Shouty pop"? Hmmnn.

Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded

 

Purists on both sides scoffed, but EBTG's transition from bedsit folkies to club favourites was one of the artistic coups of its year. Ben Watt had admitted that their previous album in 1994, Amplified Heart, seemed lacklustre, the work of a band trapped by its format, and he sought an outlet for his burgeoning love of dance music.

 

Encouraged by the chart success of Todd Terry's remix of that album's "Missing", and by partner Tracey Thorn's collaboration with Massive Attack, the pair took the plunge setting their melancholy vignettes of love-gone-wrong to discreet electronics, and recruiting an impressive roster of drum & bass producers (Omni Trio, Howie B, Spring Heel Jack) to assist with the update.

 

The result was their most cohesive and satisfying collection since Idlewild, an extraordinary return to form that sounded nothing like their earlier work. Tracks like "Single" and "Big Deal" covered familiar lyrical terrain (loneliness, nostalgia, unrequited passion), but allied the material to a radically more contemporary sound.

 

Yet, as ever, the real coup was not any piece of studio trickery, but Thorn's languid, sensuous vocals. Rarely has heartbreak seemed so enticing.

 

 

This review was from Amazon, AFF. Just guess I'm one of those 'purists'! This album, by the way, was the mid-90s one to which I referred.
