I like those GIFs, Debaser.
I guess one other BM Bingo that if you'd gone for it you would have Bingoed would have been the "We wanted to do a song that we could leave running at the end"

Yep - we definitely missed a trick there.
Great little interview. Both of them in good form.
As I've said in a 'Blue Monday' thread I've just started, the programme I normally use to download BBC Sounds/iPlayer won't download this. So I had to use a shitty Chrome extension to screen grab it, hence the fairly awful recording. If anyone can rip a better version, please can you let me have a copy.
BBC Sounds copy of the interview is here, around the 1h26m mark:

I still can't seem to embed links
Andy, Perspexorange gave a pretty good explanation on embedding YT clips here. I think it might work for you too.
I just watched a couple of minutes of that Bill Mahar show because Brand is trending on twitter (!). Where Russell Brand says there's too much money and corruption in politics I think: fair enough. But then he says: MSNBC is equivalent to Fox News. So John Heilemann asks him to give one example of an MSNBC host saying something they don’t believe. Brand refers to the effectiveness of Ivermectin. Oh dear, oh dear...
No comments from anyone about what they thought of Nation of Language. Gonna try and embed the new song they released today in the hopes there's some appreciation for this excellect group:
So, with some experimentation, I learned that I had to click the BB button, not the Create Link button. Also, I had to copy the YouTube url address in my browser, not the url in the window that comes up when I choose "share". I guess this is normal.

If you leave a blank line between your text and your YouTube embed, then it won't have that wonky donky look that it currently has.

In other news. If anyone in UK/Ireland managed to force themselves to watch MOTD2 last Sunday night, they would have heard this in the intro section to....that game.
Litmus - Atmosphere
I shazamed it so I'm pretty sure it was this version.
^ here it is. I've also posted it in the live section for SXSW.
Jump to the 3hr mark for an intro by Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester who apparently isn't in Manchester. I haven't watched yet, but the first question at 3hrs,8mins starts with a "first time I heard NO" comment from the interviewer. He was breakdancing, so you might expect it to be Confusion. But nope...

Haven’t completely finished watching this yet (20mins in), but what a fab interview! Very relaxed, interesting and all members in good form.
Steve is, as always, a joy!
Edit: Finished. Excellent interview. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Just a heads up:. The guy conducting the interview is annoying. You can tell he's not particularly knowledgeable but at least is bold enough to ask the Hooky/RnRHoF question.
Listed as a show that celebrates Blue Monday's 40th anniversary, this is more a celebration of a whole bunch of NO singles from the 80s. Starts at 13:49 with LWTUA, then there's a "Mastermix" straight after (these were called Megamixes back in the 80s I believe). Featuring:
Touched By The Hand Of God True Faith Bizarre Love Triangle (6 Music Live at Maida Vale 2015) Shellshock Fine Time Sub-Culture Temptation Round & Round BM
Finishes at 30:22 Link in tweet, or click this.

There is another show in a couple of days: The Story of the 12” Single with Jo Whiley. I think it's a BBC Sounds Podcast rather than a broadcast show. I'll mention it in the BM 40 thread.

^ That Mastermix i'm pretty sure is a repeat. It was first on a couple of years back.I clicked on out of interest because it's in the tracklist that it includes the 2015 6Music Maida Vale live version of BLT.That wasn't in this Mastermix when it was orginally aired and I was curious to listen to how it was tweeked and mixed in. Except, it turned out it's not the Maida Vale live version, it's the original Pettibone 12" .

Found some time today to watch this.Good stuff and they're in good form though i wonder sometimes why Bernard does that kind of big of intake of breath thing between or during sentences sometimes, have notice him do that a lot over the last few years in interviews, wonder what's going on there.But yeah, Steve funny as always.He makes a good point re Blue Monday losing money because of the holes in the sleeves and pointing out that Saville put holes in OMD's album sleeves but you don't ever hear about them losing money over it.And even PCL had holes in the back of the sleeve.Did they lose money on that too? Or did the price of albums swallow any losses? Good to hear the band still enjoy every show and still aren't bored of playing BM, every show is fun and it's 50% band and 50% the reaction from the audience at gigs.Every gig is worth it and fun because of the audience.I remember at the Brixton Academy gig May 2012 I was jumping around like an idiot down the front then looked up and Bernard seemed to be looking right at me, and it was like he was taking in processing and seeing what the music meant to an ordinary Joe.

Well i made it to the end of The Gold, finally. It didn't half drag on, that series. Atmosphere in the closing scenes. But why? I don't get . It soundtracked men being sentenced to prison, yet the use of the song seemed to imply we ahould be holding them up as heroes. So Kenneth Noye is a hero is he? This is a guy that committed a road rage murder of an innocent young guy back in the mid 90s.
Out Of Control spotting. Acoustic style! I think it's a good enough cover to get a mention in this thread rather than a niche cover versions thread.

Yeah. Just noticed this myself.
Have now pre-ordered the book (I'd forgotten about it).
Rough Trade are doing signed copies, by the author (Audrey Golden), if that's your thing. Cost me £28.95 when could've ordered from Amazon at about £21.80 (with Amazon Prime shipping), so not too bad.
Will try reading it on holiday next month.

Hmm. Weird. Works for me and I haven't registered. Maybe it's a UK only thing.
If you have a VPN, try changing to UK.
See also the Mella Dee thread where Linus beat Lee to it. The Arcade Fire remix news may be of interest.

The article is essentially just an excerpt from this book: I Thought I Heard You Speak
There was a feature on the I Thought I Heard You Speak book on , slightly bizarrely i thought, BBC 5Live's Drivetime show this evening.Speaking to the author Audrey Golden. Go to 1 hour 47 minutes and 30 seconds in here
Good lord - they could have edited that down from 17 minutes to about 5 and it would have been watchable. So much repetition and boring rambling

On my hols in Marrakech, Morocco ( god it's hot), sitting outside cafe waiting for Real V Man City to start on the tv, cover playing of LWTUA (Ronan remix) which Shazam says is by Bellestar. Not the Bellestars, of course. Unless they did a lounge cover of it back in the 80s

They've managed to get South London's Carter USM on to this 'Madchester' comp, but no actual NO...
