Yes, Difford and Tilbrook with some session musicians (and minus Jules Holland, obv.)

I saw them at Beautiful Days and they were excellent

Chris Difford was on the radio the other day, I think he's got a new album out. Might be called London Boys.

 

[Madusa]

Erasure were a bit drabby.

 

[belboid]

I saw Difford supporting Elvis Costello a couple of years back. He was really rubbish

Erasure were a bit drabby.

Disagree, andy bell was anything but. vince clarke is a god. I loved erasure.
Squeeze were cool too, wrote some great songs.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Chris Difford is apparently releasing a Jade Goody tribute record.

Last night Squeeze singer Chris Difford said he had approached Jade’s family about re-recording his song Some Fantastic Place in aid of charity.

Andy Bell isn't too well sadly.

 

[Herbert Read]

I hide a childish snigger each time I read Andy Bell used to be a 'meat packer'.

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

His last one was called 'The Last Temptation Of Chris' I think

 

[ViolentPanda]

Why?

For the same reason he'd presumably have sniggered if Andy Bell had worked as a fudge-packer; because Mr. Bell is gay.

 

[rhod]

Erasure had the inspired idea of releasing a live hits album, performed in Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and done in a country stylee.

Could have been brilliant, but turned out to be rather shit, unfortunately.

I'm so totally chairdancing to the new Erasure album at the moment. I'm charidancing myself into a frenzy, in fact. There ain't many problems Erasure can't fix. Even canceraids.

 

[skyscraper101]

what new album is this? the remixes one?

Just the First 40 Hits one released this year. Got the 'delux' version, with the live cd too.

I fucking love Erasure.

I'm listening to 'chorus' atm

what a great song

the harmonies on 'memorieeeeeeee' in the middle 8 send a shiver down my spine, awesome!

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds

oh wow.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I adore Love to Hate You. Just surreally wonderful.

Am currently listening to Breath of Life.

God, my favourite book is calle Erasure and Erasure the band are quickly becoming my favourite popular beat combo.

 

[_pH_]

Oh, 'love to hate you' what a great choon too!

I'd forgotten how fucking ace erasure are

listening to it now:

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didnt come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

thanks VP
