We were certainly used to miming in those days. It was always a studio track anyhow, and this is 7" mix which I have in the loft. Their finest moment. Album was great, though very clumsy/clonky. Bit like Little Dragon now.

Anyone who doesn't understand why John Peel always said he cried when he first heard this, doesn't understand. Period. Oh that there was music of this calibre amongst the dross in today's chart.

Best thing they ever did. One of the most fantastic pop songs of all time. How I love that Orange Juiceseque riff. And were they sexy or what?

Bit "straight" for me, but actually great song and his voice is fabulous. Something about his phrasing is very cool.

Now THAT is the DPRK's secret weapon. You wouldn't dare tangle with someone who can sing like that. I say that, of course, with respect and in no sense of piss taking as I'm visiting myself in a few weeks. I hope to impress my minder with my ability to hum this tune.

Great vid. I am the world's most nervous flyer. I've flown loads, but never get any better. I am taking this flight on 20.04.12. I've been obsessed with visiting DPRK (not because I support the regime) for years and we're finally doing it. I'm positively looking forward to BA return LHR - PEK bus...

@Maxid1 You ARE Rick Santorum and I claim my $5. The civilisied world is holding it's breath for Bush MKIII. I wish there were a god to save us from such braindead cretins.

@circusboy90210 The British government was not the main obstacle. The French were just as desperate to pull out, but couldn't manage the loss of face. Read Roy Jenkins autobiography. The plane was a beautiful machine, but was doomed by the oil crisis and the refusal of most of the world to grant ...

A monument to the regime's insanity. They already have massive near empty hotels in the city - who the feck is gonna fill this place? I suspect the answer will be "nobody" despite the claim that it will open in April 2012 for the Kim Il Sung birthday bash. There are 8 revolving restaurants on top...

Nothing like the hypocrisy of one cult follower slagging another to make the flesh creep.

Very slick and some awesome footage. You have far more balls than I. Well, bigger anyhow. I am planning the same trip in April but will conduct myself in a more respectful manner. I feel exactly the same about the regime, but your Beavis & Butthead appreach belittles people who have no choice. Lo...

Jesus. We'll never invade. They might sing at us. A note to western teenagers: this IS awesome.

I'm planning this trip in April, so a good preview. Nicely done, though that hair does reduce your credibility to sneer somewhat. I think you'd benefit from a Juche crop.

@skating1611 Definitately. Even to live in Pyongyang is a privilage, as conditions there are far better than anywhere else. He's been very well taken care of by DPRK standards.

Exceptionally pretty boys, excreble music. Keep the kids dumbed down so Cowell can grow his millions.

Something very lovely about this. First time I heard it on 6 Music, it struck me.

The Romanian dialogue had subtitles when this was shown on the BBC - I still have it on vid somewhere. They have been removed as superfluous as I assume this was uploaded for Romanian consumption. Shame, as it loses everything and gains nothing.

You wouldn't get me on that thing for all the prisoners in Yodok.

This will have been filled up with goods purely as a show for the rare influx of foreign visitors for the Youth Festival.

I would bet my mortgage a week afterwards the shelves were 90% bare.

50 year old bloke saying they're sassy, razor bright, funny, super talented, uber sexy, should be absolutely huge.

Great tune, but he can't sing it live at all. Definately a studio band.

@shootingstar126

Clacton AND Lykke Li - what more could you want? :)

We're having a "Howard's Way" evening tomorrow, with the DVD, playing the drinking game. Basically, everytime someone has a drink on HW, you do.

2 episodes later, you can't walk :)

Wonderous. 6Music playing like mad, but not on their playlist????

He's luverly too!

What an amazing piece of work. This must have taken guts to do - I note you never see the face of the cameraman, and with good reason. Mesmorizing soundtrack too. Thankyou and congratulations.

Utter genius. Production is superb too.

Exquisite song. Exquisite boy :)

I have an XF which I love, but this is a more successful design to me. I can't understand those who hate the back. It's so much more distinctive than the bland German lumps. I followed one down the M11 last week and it looks fantastic on the move. Mine has the same V6 271bhp diesel and it's a fan...

@John1576able. How dare you lecture me on my lifestyle using your non-existant god as proxy? Child abuse by The Church is the lowest percentage of any profession? Where did you get that piece of bollocks? I shall be protesting this afternoon against my tax pounds funding a visit by that hideous o...
