May 6May 6 so this popped up for me on youtube the other day......is Alison Moyet completely rude in this video or just impolite? she is clearly not the most rude lady out there, but she is clearly trying to express her rudeness.....does she get additional rudeness for that attempt? and yes there is a lot of other rudeness going on
May 7May 7 I never knew Yazoo made that song. I guess I just always figured it was Annie Lennox or Erasure.
May 7May 7 Agree with @WBT that she is impertinent, not rude, and that is my wheelhouse. I had the whole Yaz cassette, for that single song, and never knew until now what she looked like.

Vince Clarke, former member of Depeche Mode, started Yazoo shortly after leaving Depeche Mode. He then started Erasure after Yazoo decided to disband.

He said as sort of a peace offering, Vince Clarke wanted to give the band a song but Fletcher declined to accept. This was the song. 2 hours ago, TrashMaster G said: THE definitive Yaz song. And verdict: mildly discourteous

Allison kills it. This version State Farm is one of the first remixes I remember thinking "that is awesome." It has been on pretty much any workout playlist I have made. Edited May 7May 7 by Macanudo
May 7May 7 She's playing at Cruel World next week with a lot of awesome bands. This is my lineup if I could go:

May 10May 10 Alison Moyet has a lot to offer. I’m not sure her demeanor, whichever way it leans, moves the needle much though.
