Did you hear me scream?

Seriously, while I was riding the train, did you hear me? I saw this in the newspaper.

Oh, maybe I should get a little closer.

That's Vince Clark of Erasure. Wait you can't read what's printed under his photo?

Not close enough?


YAZ IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes, that wonderful combination of Vince Clark and Alison Moyet who created Only You, Situation, Don't Go and Nobody's Diary are releasing a boxed set and going on tour. One of my first posts was discovering that a birth control pill was named Yaz.

Can you hear my heart beating?

But it appears that their tour will only be in England. So those of you who can, go see them. And tell me how wonderful it was.

Wed 04 June - Glasgow Clyde Auditorium
Sat 07 June - Manchester
Apollo
Thu 12 June - Wolverhampton

what, you can't go to england for a concert? what kind of fan are you?

by the way, I've been hanging out with a lovely group of gay men from my show, and feel very much like a fag hag myself, these days. ;)

Yay for your fandom! ;-) And thanks for posting that clip - I love that song and this version SO rocks!

Hahahahahaa! I can't tell, are you excited at all about this reunion? I was trying to pick up the nuance of the post and maybe you are just being too subtle or something....


Ya big Yaz fan freak!
I am with Maypole here, what kind of fan are you that you won't just nip over for the show? You know I would SO meet you across the channel. :)

For the record, I think you've just created a die hard fan here at our house. Andrew is begging for the video to be played over and over again. He's dancing up a storm here in the dining room!

I thought I heard a scream this morning . . . it was you!

Quite a big write up there it looks like--you must have floated to work.

Yaz is so weird looking.

Did you scream out loud on the train?

Yay! Thank you so much for telling me - I love Yaz. They are so underappreciated.
