ERASURE

[G.Love]

Was home sick yesterday, and got to see Erasure perform on "The Other Half."  *I was delirious with the fever so don't jump on me for watching that program*  
 But the funny thing is, that I enjoyed their cover of Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel).

 call me stuck in the 80's (like Mankie) but I think I may have to get this CD - Erasure "Other People's Songs"

No, dont do it!!!!! You wont respect yourself in the morning if you do. Salisbury hill is tolerable the rest of the album is some of the worst recorded music I have ever heard. And I have listend to some terrible shite. (mostly at Bob Pollards abode)
 
 If you want erasure get their greatest hits. 20 poptastic tunes.

This from somebody who made me listen to Peaches and Gonzales.

Peaches annd gozales is about a million times better than that erasure covers album. I thought P and G was quite funny. It cost all of 10 cents. Well worth it for you to beg me to stop.

Having seen P&G and heard snatches of the Erasure album, I'd say throw yourself off a cliff before listening to the Erasure album, and come late toa concert if P&G are opening it.

If I am thinking of the same concert as you P and G were better than the main act. Reading from your diary at a show? how aout if P andG are opening dont go at all?

Yeah well at least you didnt see them live at the 9:30 Club opening for Elastica.

Let's put two and two together folks.   When else are the member of this fine "Angolphiles Anonymous" message board going to see the nasty queen of electroclash?  I though Elastica were solid.  I though Peaches was disturbing.

What was that annoying thing in the corner continually jumping up and down for? The moment Justine started reading from her diary on stage to the musical background the spell was broken for me and I fell out of love. I realised my paramour was a pretnetious hack with no talent.

which part?
 
 All I know of them is they had one decent single, a lot of hype, then they disappeared.
