early Pink Floyd

Finally, does anybody notice any similarities between B&S and the Television Personalities (all together now, WHO????)

"So it may as well be me" ... what do you have in mind ? The bossa nova guitar part on "The prettiest girl in the world", the line "Boy on the bike, what are you like" being inspired by "Girl on a motorcycle", "Judy and the dream of horses" (alternatively, "Dog on wheels" ... "Promise you'll always be around when I call") being inspired by "Magnificient dreams" ("And if you need someone, I'll be here if you should fall, I'll be here with open arms to catch you"), the piano on "Who will be your prince ?" or the trumpet part on "I hope you have a nice day" ? That "A century of fakers" is almost as beautiful as "Haunted" ? Or that "A century of fakers" could have been the Nineties "A sense of belonging" for its lyrical content ? That the media attitude of B&S could be described as "You can keep your hits and your silver discs, I'll stick two fingers to fame" ("Hard luck story number 39") ? That the "Songs for children" debut 7" by the Pastels was issued on Dan Treacy's Whaam! Records ? That B&S are the new hopes to produce a perfect P!O!P! album such as "Privilege" ? The similarly high voices of Stuart and Dan ? The common genius ? Alright, you probably mean the similarity between "A century of Elvis" and "She loves it when he sings like Elvis". Oh well ... that would be boring ... Bodil & Andreas "He was very famous Once upon a time And no-one cares Even if he's alive" (Daniel Treacy) B&A: "We do !" D: "Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
