Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Bronski Beat - It Aint Necessarily So

'It Ain't Necessarily So' is a popular song with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin.

The single was the 3rd single to be released by Bronski Beat from their debut album 'The Age Of Consent'.

Released in 1984 the single made it to number 16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Bronski Beat - Why

'Why?' is a single from the British synthpop trio Bronski Beat and appeared on their 1984 album 'The Age of Consent'.

The song, recorded at RPM Studios, NYC and mixed at Townhouse Studio, London, pursued an energetic musical formula, while the lyrics focused more centrally on anti-gay prejudice.

The song opens with a questioning vocal by frontman and vocalist Jimmy Sommerville and the shattering of breaking glass.

It was the trio's second Top 10 success in the UK, peaking at number 6, also reaching the Top 10 throughout Europe and in Australia and is today considered a popular gay anthem.

Bronski Beat and Marc Alomond - I Feel Love

In 1985, Bronski Beat joined up with Marc Almond to record a version of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'.

The full version was actually a medley, also incorporating snippets of Summer's 'Love to Love You Baby' and John Leyton's 'Johnny Remember Me'.

The resulting single was a success, reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart, equalling the chart achievement of Smalltown Boy'.

Although the original had been one of Marc Almond's all-time favourite songs, he had never read the lyrics and thus incorrectly sang "What'll it be, what'll it be, you and me" instead of "Falling free, falling free, falling free"

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

Smalltown Boy is the debut single of the British synthpop group Bronski Beat, released in June 1984. It would also appear on the band's debut album The Age of Consent, released in December 1984.

The single reached number 3 in the UK and number 48 in the U.S. The song is a popular gay anthem and was a huge success worldwide. The song is about a gay boy who faces homophobia, loneliness, and family misunderstanding.

The music video features band member Jimmy Somerville as the boy who has the issues seen above. He makes friends, but is attacked by a gang of homophobes and a policeman brings him back to his home. He catches a train, where he is reunited with his friends. This plot is depicted in the video. In the video, he is seen making friends (played by band members Larry Steinbachek and Steve Bronski) near a swimming pool and they overlook the people swimming. They are later briefly seen at the changing room near the pool. The video ends with Somerville riding on the train to London as he was in the beginning, but this time Steinbachek and Bronski join him.
