The Duke, in one of his more impetuous moments, wrote...
oh goodness, i can remember when they said that the max was five and that anything more than five was an album. i think back then the groove farm complained. personally i'll only be happy when they limit it to ONE song. now THAT'S POP!
the tubby man then listed a series of great besides and went on to add:
Not one but two blasts of perfection, each one meaning everything for...ooh, minutes. Now _that_ is P!O!P!. Wouldn't you say?
and of course he was right. i was of course being a little tongue in cheek with my post, both about the solitary song and the reference to the groove farm, who, frankly, were fun for, oooh, five minutes at least and i liked the corelation between that and mansun, who have been something rather less than fun for far too bloody long imho. i think Pop records should be two sided slabs of 7" vinyl... using the cd format negates the thrill of flipping the disc over and playing the 'b-side'. it just becomes 'track 2', which is a great deal less interesting. but if we must have cd singles, i am seduced by the idea of one song mini-cds, selling for the price of a packet of crips, or chips for our transatlantic cousins. then for all the great songs that timbo listed, we could just have more little mini-cd thingies, couldn't we? Now how cute would that be? the duke, who has moved on from the peloton and is now delving back through his Magnetic Fields records and going, 'aw...'.
