C’est la VoR
Take it or leave it
When was the last time there was a decent UK sales estimate of the SAW albums? It’d be interesting to see exactly how much the sales dropped off.
I did feel for them trying to summon up enthusiasm for the episode that featured three of the wretched ballad covers.
They've wrapped up 1990 this week and are now on hiatus until the new year. I've had If I Have To Stand Alone in my head all week.
Feeling quite tempted to sign up for the bonus material now.
Also, is the Journey Through Aussie Pop worth a bash? I can’t think I’ll relate to much of it.
These are exceptional episodes btw. It's what it deserved.DOUBLE EPISODE covering What Do I Have To Do?out today!
I'm still astounded by the indifference of both Mike Stock and Matt Aitken to the singles from Rhythm Of Love (Stock in particular seems to only be attached to his successes from the 80s, the cunt) Even Harding and Curnow don't seem to fully understand the appeal of What Do I Have To Do? Wtf?
They are coming thick and fast now.Excellent Shocked episode this week. Jazzi P's story was interesting, also Harding and Curnow being very catty about the DNA single version.
They are coming thick and fast now.
Listening to this, it has struck me (excuse the pun) just how modern Shocked still sounds. Honestly it would not sound out of place if it was released today.
I would urge anyone who is a fan of these songs but not necessarily SAW ( @Funky and @Jark for instance ) to listen to these episodes. They are AMAZING and the way they delve into the musicality of them is so satisfying.
But at the rate these episodes are coming out, they are going to be done soon.I so want them to continue on the Kylie journey afterwards - I don't think there is anyone better placed to do it - we should all put in requests for this.
I listened to the episode that featured Jason Donovan's R.S.V.P. yesterday, which led me to look up the video. I suspect they're (understandably) too kind/polite to bring it up given all the time he's given to contribute to the podcast, but it is hilarious how much it's just Better The Devil You Know on a micro-budget.
Yes, he’s very self-effacing and frank.He says himself in the RSVP episode that he feels the song deserved a better vocal.
Sure, but there are so many shots in that video that just look like direct lifts - except where she was flown out to some glamorous location, he's clearly on a building site in Romford or something.![]()
