How can this be acoustic when its transmitted through the internet?
How can this be digital if its heard by man analog ears?
Well, where is my beautiful wife? Where's my big new car?
Same as it ever was...

How can this be an "acoustic" version when he's using an electronic drum machine?

He released two albums fairly recently, then swore off of releasing them due to lack of good reception. There were a few really good songs on them though, in my opinion. I will be uploading some of them soon. It looks as though there might be a few new songs in the works for a new "greatest Hits" type release.
He also swore he'd never be a part of a 80's concert tour, but now it looks like he broke down. He prolly needs some money.

LOL. Exactly what I was about to say.
The original was better. This one is OK. Set list in general this morning has been a solid OK. |

A lot less catchy, though I like the more intimate atmosphere.

This is the kind of song that depending on my mood it could really annoy me, or I could dig it. Right now, I'm really digging it!

a good song made better by a slower, less "studioed" treatment then is normally the case...where do you guys keep finding all this great stuff?? |

It's hard to say which one I prefer, but my one of my personal benchmarks of a decent pop song is when you can play it without a studio set up and full band and it still sounds good. This one qualifies for me.

Very nice - I also like the original studio version. But I really enjoy hearing how the artist plays his song in it's simple/basic form... as in when he was composing it.

Seems like we're having a Nik Kershaw revival on this station. This is the third song of his I've heard in the last couple of months. Nice to rediscover a really fun musician.

Agreed, I think the Studio versions better (Is that the version that came out in the 80's?) |

I gotta say I prefer the original also. Probably because I've heard so often it's ingrained in my DNA.

An odd sing really. Somewhat annoying at parts but with a chorus that is completely memorable, if it weren't for the parts of the song I consider a little whiney (and hence out of place) I'd have given this tune a 9 and not an 8. I prefer this acoustic version to the 200 watt per channel totally over-produced anthemic version that saturated the airways some years ago, What is Nik Kershaw doing these days?
Cheers
