On Fridays this year, we ask...
( What's in the Box? )
I apologise for the extremely intermittent nature of The Box of late. My life is rather confused and tumultuous of late and, although it pains me to say it, I've either forgotten or just not had time to go Box-rummaging.
And when you see what's in The Box this week, I bet you wish it had stayed that way.
Jimmy Somerville - The Singles Collection 1984/1990
Yes, it's everyone's favourite squeaky-voiced popstrel, Jimmy Somerville. I make no apology[*] for liking this ridiculous 80s nonsense.
Interestingly (or not) Don't Leave Me This Way is one of the very few songs of that era which I actually remember hearing at the time. I'm too lazy to look up when it was released, but I have very clear memories of dancing to it at my cousin's wedding aged approximately 11 (this was also the occasion of me learning that pale people like myself should not be made to wear mauve).
This singles collection is a proper in-car sing-a-long, although disappointingly I can't sing high enough to hit most of the notes. However, when I am singing in the car there is usually no one to hear. I keep hoping my singing will cause traffic jams to flee in terror; it doesn't, but at least it passes the time.

[Poll #1188693]
[*] Though I am a bit embarassed about it.
