Crux

Ivor guest has just said on facebook that he is producing the new grace jones album. He will be giving us a step by step guide through the process.. So exciting! He produced some of Hurricane and is responsible for the Dub mixes on the re-release in 2011

Omg, that's terrible. I'd love to know what goes through their minds to do that...then again, I'd rather not know.

I can't remember the last time I saw George Michael...but it's great to see him back and looking healthy... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3981224/George-Michael-rekindles-friendship-old-flame-Kenny-Goss-seven-years-split.html Great....now get to work on your album, bitch!

I can't find the old thread so i'll create a new one. Just heard that Rod Temperton, (Songwriter for "Thriller", "Rock With You" and "Off The Wall") has died. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37565125

Oh yeah, the infamous Cascio tracks. When you listen to Breaking News, Monster and Keep Your Head Up, it's obvious it's not him - which is a shame really because they're not that bad.

Do the HM's pick a background song to use when they're entering, or is it the producers? He's hardly someone people look to for fashion and inspiration,, so it's strange they gave him that particular song when he looks as hideous as he does. I hate to say it, but I think they were throwing shade at Madonna, tbh.

He's doing Celebrity Big Brother right now in the UK. Jesus, he's such a MESS.

Oh god, The remastering of the "Waterloo" album is awful. You can't even hear what they're singing on that song.

Silly cow.

It's as funny (if not funnier) than the Kilo thread.

Nina might've been pretty, but she was also a mute bore according to her work collegues. Still at least she worked. Useless Sue did nothing but sit by the pool all day. Lazy bitch.

Oh, that's interesting. It makes you wonder why they didn't just leave them as they were meant to be heard instead of tinkering with them. One would've thought they'd have taken more care with a huge band like Abba - and those errors from a company like Epic are shocking.

GOOD! I'm sick of these sites taking advantage of concert goes and making them pay over the odds to see their favourite artists. This has been a long time coming, so i'm pleased it's finally happening.

I was just looking at some Abba vinyl on Ebay and came across the Super Trooper album. Why do some of the songs run longer? For instance, "The Piper" runs at 4:40 when the cd version is 3:27...

Yes, it's old, and yet very modern at the same time. I love it. Great songs choices there too (except for I'm A Marionette, of course)

Yes, crazy indeed. Love it. What do you think of "My Mama Said"? It sounds like something we would hear today from bands and artists like Bruno Mars and Daft Punk.

I can't believe they put King Kong Song in that list: @nightcutter great choices.

It honestly gives me the heebie jeebies. I think someone in my family must've owned this album, because I vaguely remember hearing that song as a child - gave me nightmares back then too. Have to say i've been obsessed with Abba lately... Here's my fav songs: Ring Ring Nina, Pretty Ballerina He Is Your Brother Waterloo Hasta Manana My Mama Said Dance While The Music Still Goes On Honey Honey Mamma Mia SOS Bang A Boomerrang I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do When I Kissed The Teacher Dancing Queen Dum Dum Diddle Knowing Me, Knowing You Money Money Money That's Me Why Did It Have To Happen To Me Tiger Fernando Take A Chance On Me One Man, One Woman Name Of The Game As Good As New Voulez Vous Angel Eyes Does Your Mother Know If It Wasn't For The Nights Chiquitita Kisses Of Fire Gimme Gimme Gimme Super Trooper Winner Takes It All On and On and On Me and I Our Last Summer The Piper Lay All Your Love On Me Head Over Heels One Of Us Slipping Through My Fingers Under Attack The Day Before You Came ❤️

Finally treat myself to "The Visitors" and "The Album". Not really a fan of the latter but it does have some cracking songs on there - like "Take A Chance On Me" and "Thank You For The Music". ...I've even grown to like "Eagle" now. "One Man, One Woman" and "Hole In Your Soul" are great too but I cannot stand "I'm A Marionette". It's like something from a horror movie.

What year was that, Jan? I know a lot of fans don't think much of their earlier material, but it's so much fun. I went to see Mamma Mia 2 yesterday and was tapping my foot all the way through. The men are much better singers this time around... (I still think Pierce Brosnan needs a smacked bot for ruining S.O.S). The performance of "Why Did It Have To Be Me" was quite enjoyable. Have to say I didn't like the way Cher sang Super Trooper. Her voice is far too deep for their songs,...although i'm still interested to hear her album. All in all I loved the movie...much better than the 1st one.

I'm going on Monday with a friend, Jan. Can't wait. Yes, that Frida gif is fab I always used to sit and laugh at how excitable she was in that video. She really loved that song, didn't she?

Oh now there's a point, I didn't think of that.

@Jazzy JanMy sister saw it a few days ago and said the same, so i'm thinking of going to see it. so excited... Love Abba!

I bet she had to go and change her underwear after that.

The motorist can be seen overtaking the riders on the busy A359 near Yeovil in Somerset, but passes so close that his front bumper clips their wheels. Lurching forward as the car hits his bike, one of the cyclists smashes into a friend riding just ahead, sending both crashing to the floor. The driver admitted dangerous driving at Taunton Crown Court on July 9. The clip was filmed on a camera attached to the helmet of Martin Wills, who was riding with the group before the incident on November 23 last year. He was the cyclist who got hit by his friend riding behind and his wife Sandra was knocked unconscious in the horror smash. Describing the traumatic accident, he said "The first I knew was a heavy blow to my right buttock". 'This sent me off balance and I fell heavily with my bike landing on top of me. One of the riders was lying in the road a few feet away with her wrecked bike next to her.' Mr Wills miraculously escaped with cuts and bruises, while his wife was left with a broken finger, cracked ribs and a bump on her head. It is not clear what injuries the other cyclists suffered. He added: 'Thank goodness we wear helmets.' Tarrant was disqualified from driving for two years and must taken an extended re-test. He was handed a conditional discharge lasting 18 months and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £20. **************** The question on everyone's lips is why didn't he stop? The first thing he should've done is check to see if they were alright, but this guy is seen speeding off into the distance. Shocking.
