Dexys to ruin Too-Rye-Ay

[holyzombiejesus]

Just seen this, looks like there's a reworked album due. Oh God, it's going to be horrible, isn't it?

[sevendaughters]

fair play if it's Rowland farting over the original songs, or playing them on a kazoo. this sounds like a fucking nightmare.

[Custard]

Why oh why oh why do they insist on mucking about with things?

[the science eel]

Ah no. It'll be fine. The last gig I saw - the soul revue thing - was ace.

Going to book for Newcastle, probably.

[Pauline Walnuts]

Has he got really thin ankles or is that trick of the photograph?

[DrGreggles]

I saw their last tour and it was fantastic.

No interest in a reworked album though.

[Custard]

Everytime they do anything different to the original album, that Back To The Future "something has changed" tinkle should go off

[sevendaughters]

always a rum sign when there's no 'single' or preview material

[Paul Calf]

Has he got really thin ankles or is that trick of the photograph?

The former, I'd imagine. He's not a well man.

band edict. Kevin must appear to have the best skirt, thinnest ankles, and largest hat at ALL times. failure to comply with this request sees band implode and extra letters taken out of band name.

[Neomod]

At least the tagline doesn't say 'How it SHOULD have sounded'.

Love that album.

[holyzombiejesus]

He's not a well man.

What makes you say that?

[scarecrow]

Hope he's replaced 50% of his original vocals with those of a strident, husky voiced South England drama student.

He should've polished up the 90s demos and released them as an alternative comeback album.

Fixed. His head is fucking MASSIVE.

[Goldentony]

Remember that godless version of Geno they did in Jools Holland that one time? I dunno if you watch that, I used to but people said it meant I wanted to kidnap people or something, anyway they finally did Geno and it was some god fucking awful Buena Vista Social Club copy of Mr Nice thing like half beat poetry half house party jam session, just fucking bad in every imaginable way. Wonder if that'll be a whole concert of this? you'd hope so, I really like the idea of that more than anything else they could do atm

[imitationleather]

Absolutely love Sting's reworkings of Police songs done on a lute, me.

[Pauline Walnuts]

Maybe it's just the big shoes that make his ankles look like Tweety Pie.

Still you what they say about men with big shoes...

[Goldentony]

dirty ron atkinson BASTARD with no shoes on on the fucking sax too

[kalowski]

Got some good songs on it but not a patch on Don't Stand Me Down or Young Soul Rebels.

[Paul Calf]

What makes you say that?

My lawyers have requested that I don't comment further.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

I, for one, am gladdened to see a visual rendering of the answer to the question " What do you get if you cross Ron Mael with Olive Oyl?".

[BeardFaceMan]

Don't suppose anyone has a link to that clip of Rowland singing like a horse? That always brightens my day.

The Horse is an instrumental you fule.

I'm guessing it's this lovely performance: https://youtu.be/C3rg4psdHxw

Ah that's the one, cheers.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

It's a smashing blouse dress Kev, but you were absolutely killing it 20 years ago:



You can't best that, so why bother?

[Brundle-Fly]

It's interesting how much derision his My Beauty image got at the time (1999.)  I wonder how it would be received today? Probably, a little more kindly.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

It's not the fact that he's wearing a dress that's an issue, and I'm not sure that it ever was. It's more the fact that he's got his tits out and has lifted up his skirt to proudly display his cock and bollock bulge.

Legend has it that when Rowland was working on an autobiography (which I think was completed but never published), he insisted on first meeting his ghost writer in a Soho swingers club. The man is a sexual being; he cannot help it.
