"Up the junction" - Squeeze

Drumsticks: caught. Song: perfect.

"Two differently nonchalent songwriters who are the self-styled Lennon/McCartney of that adorable beat-bubblegum-bop-boogie pop group Squeeze" - Paul Morley, NME

"It didn’t take long after #DavidBowie died for people to start saying that everything fell apart after 2016. His soul-shaking, time-stopping departure seemed to have wreaked havoc on the earth, as if he alone had been placating the malevolent forces that challenge the equilibrium."

I wonder what would have happened if The Image Of A Group had decided to plough their own furrow rather than acquiring the rights to the name "Art of Noise"? I am not really a fan of them, they didn't really sound like Art of Noise, and their #Debussy-esque creations weren't as good as the original conposer, but their debut album was interesting.

@shoogle @fc I listened to a podcast interview with #GaryLangan recently - he gave an interesting perspective, although he thought #PaulMorley deserved some credit for #ZTT-era #ArtOfNoise but not #TrevorHorn
