N Neil's take on celebrity it just so spot on.

Without having the new album in my hands and giving it many listens, here's how it stacks up so far:

Always On My Mind
Domino Dancing
Hey Headmaster
Decadence
Fugitive
I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore (I think this phrase constantly)
I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing (probably the song that made me a super fan since...bought the special edition of "Very" and was hooked)
To Step Aside
The End of the World
You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk

PSB question. Was "DiscoVery" every issued on VHS. Hopefully it will get a DVD release. Such great PSB songs (many of the "Very" tracks) plus mixing in modern club classics like"Girls and Boys" (they remixed it for Blur), "Mr. Vain" and "The Rhythm of the Night" (and I think "I Will Survive"). PSB pretty much does there thing now and if the public is there, fine, but they were really of the times with that show.

Wow, that's amazing because the choices vary pretty much.This only happens with artists with a good and huge song catalogue.

They usually have great b-sides, but I think since the Nitelife era they became weake ("Resurectionist", "Blue On Blue")

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.

Not sure I could pick enough for a top ten but my favourite is definitely Rent.

Suede did a version too, oddly enough.
This is not an exit

The lyrics make almost no sense. But I like the song as well.
