8D Blue Monday

Someone thinks they just invented panning: FarOut (man)

That's completely stupid.

Pan left...now pan right...now pan left again!

Yep!

You learn a new thing every day. Today I have learnt that Blue Monday was on PCL.

I've known that for over 30 years.

(But my copy is the US Import. And it ends with The Beach.)

It's better without. There was an interesting Suede interview where it was pointed out that their Bsides were as good as their Asides and they said that's cos they don't have an A / B side mentality (take note, Blur): Asides just work better alone and albums come about because they have a sense of structure. Paradoxically the Japanese versions with extra tracks were better value for money but less satisfying. McCartney albums actually sound worse when the bonus editions add Bsides, like when Substance goes from LWTUA to that punk din Whoresaw. I prefer Band on the Run without Helen Wheels, which is a fun single but slows the climatic second half.

You mean 'No Love Lost', right? Know what you mean, but I treat the JD 'Substance' like a 2 CD compilation squeezed into 1 CD. As with NO's 'Substance' (The World's Best Album), the A side sequence has had many more plays than the B's - although all are great.

Alternatively stand in the middle of a car park and get a friend to drive around you in a circle with Blue Monday blasting out their window
