Okay, I was just being a goofball about this, but um... Shoegaze!Andy Bell has confirmed that he is indeed doing a collaboration with Synthpop!Andy Bell. (This was during his Bandcamp listening party for "Pinball Wanderer"). I wasn't clear if this was just going to be like an EP or a full LP. But from the sounds of things, we should see the results within about a year or so. I doubt I had anything to do with it, but I have to admit, joking about it here on this page, and mere weeks later, hearing that they're doing this, is a bit freaky. Like, did I incept that? Again, I really doubt it, but ... kind of wacky in any case.

I'd really, really love for the two of them to do a collaboration, just to completely throw last.fm and other digital music retailers for a loop.

Let me amend that a bit... I posted that in jest, because I thought obviously that would never happen. But as I've gotten to know Shoegaze!Andy Bell's solo work better, and seen what he's done with the GLOK side project... you know, I'm not so sure anymore. He's proven to be quite adapt with the ways of synth and electronic music, so now I'm thinking, why not? Shoegaze!Andy has done great collaborations with artists far from the shoegazing world of Ride, so maybe he could work with Synthpop!Andy on something. It wouldn't have to be a whole album, just a single song. Hell, it could just be remixing each other's stuff. Here's a 7" - Side A: " Crazy (Andy Bell Remix) by Andy Bell. Side B: "Skywalker (Andy Bell Remix)" by Andy Bell. BOOM. Now, gents, make this happen! Call up your agents and record companies, and see what they can do. We could even throw in stuff from their other projects - Andy Bell remixes Yaz and Erasure, and Andy Bell remixes GLOK and Ride.

Nah, you seem to be in the right place... the problem is, last.fm doesn't have a good way to distinguish between individuals and bands that have the same name. So effectively, both the shoegazing Ride Andy Bell shares page here with the synth-poping dude from Erasure/Yaz/early Depeche Mode. You should see the pitch battles at the page for Luna. There's the American dream pop band fronted by Dean Wareham, formerly of Galaxie 500, but then there's a South Korean solo artist, a Ukrainian singer, and a dozen other bands and solo artists who perform under that name. So there's a constant struggle there to downvote photos of other Lunas and upvote those of one's preferred Luna.

yeah well, its just annoying when you want Andy's face and you keep getting this other guy's face. Obviously the comments below were stupid but it is really annoying... Last.fm should change something about that, so we can all get the pictures we want of "our Andy". seperate profiles for example.

what is it that makes some people feel the need to say such nasty things? i mean...how does it make your life any better? when i dislike something, i just don't bother mentioning it - i mean who cares? it's an opinion. why do you think yours are so important that they need to be plastered across someone's page?
