SPANDAUISM, DAY 12

Maybe someday every Spandau Ballet fan will be bold enough to go public.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 11

Lest you think that having been the bass player in Spandau Ballet would be the high point of a person’s professional life, guess again.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 10

Call me crazy, but I feel like reading about someone else’s unsolvable problems for a change, so here’s a synopsis of an intra-Spandau battle royale.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 9

The blogger offers his sincere apologies for the syruplike density of his last two postings. By way of atonement (here he goes with the theobabble again–Ed.) he humbly offers this link to a mashup of Spandau Ballet’s ‘Every Time You Leave’ with the vintage . . . erm . . . sounds of a Commodore 64.

The blogger only wishes he were kidding.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 8

Tony Hadley is just a big softie.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 6

What else do Spandau Ballet fans listen to? Wonder no more.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 5

Buried about a third of the way down this page is a bizarre conspiracy theory involving Spandau Ballet, XTC, and a dead puppy.

SPANDAUISM, DAY 4

The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, saying, ” ‘Gold’ just isn’t a very good song.”

SPANDAUISM, DAY 3

This is a slightly significant day in the house (it’s the seventh anniversary of my ordination) so all I have today a link to a cached BBC site wherein you can learn that Spandau Ballet’s biggest hit, ‘True,’ was an attempt to sound more like Al Green or Marvin Gaye.

Really?

MORE SPANDAU BALLET

Now comes an undated article regarding a possible reunion of Spandau Ballet. The evidence seems to be sketchy, even more so now that VH1 isn’t really airing Bands Reunited any more. (I’m not sure if they were done in by Nuno Bettencourt’s wise refusal to be type-cast as a hair-metal artifact, or if VH1 realized they were still airing one program which had to do with music but could not possibly involve Britney Spears.)
