1. Nobody's Diary
2. Bad Connection
3. Mr. Blue
4. Good Times
5. Tuesday
6. Ode To Boy
7. Goodbye 70's
8. Too Pieces
9. In My Room
10. I Before E Except After C
11. Anyone
12. State Farm
13. Sweet Thing
14. Winter Kills

20. Only You

During the first show Alison stopped the music twice. First time was in "Goodbye 70's" because she switched to verses. Second time was in "State Farm" because Vince was supposed to sing "Move" at some point, which he didn't. Vince was singing backing vocals (through a vocoder naturally) on several songs (thanks to yazper for the info).

The Copenhagen concerts got mixed reviews in Danish newspapers, while UK's "The Telegraph" have a pretty positive review.

Total Situation At Lakewood Theater

A great quote from The Dallas Observer Music Blog':

"So I return from the Memorial Day holiday to find a surprising announcement in my mailbox: Yaz has reunited for the first time in 25 years and is coming to the Lakewood Theater...

...You can call me a freak, but Upstairs at Eric's was a classic '80s album and the fact that it might be played live, as opposed to on repeat in my childhood bedroom while I pine over various ill-fashioned boys, is pretty kick-ass for a thirtysomething fogey like myself."

Yazoo Newsletter: "Additional US Dates - Don't Forget BBC One Tonight"

Hello all

In order to stop people receiving essentially the same newsletter twice (via the Yazoo & Erasure Mailing lists), just for the next week or two I'm combining the two, as the majority of people have subscribed to both, and it must be annoying to read the same thing twice.

Lot's of good stuff this week though, so I'll shut up and let you read on...

Don't Forget BBC One Tonight

My spies tell me that Alison and Vince's performance on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" (tonight at 10.35pm BBC One) is superb (well, as you would expect!)

So set your video / Sky+ / Tivo / V+, put the cat out, grab yourself the comfy chair before anyone else does, stick the TV on and enjoy Yazoo!

The show will be repeated at 1.50am on Sunday (BBC One) and will be available online via the BBC iPlayer service.

Yazoo - "Only You" Original Promo Video

As you know there was never an actual video for Yazoo's first single "Only You". However, Mute did record a studio performance, mainly intended for overseas territories.

This video has rarely been seen... until now! Thanks to Per Aksel Lundgreen for his generosity in sharing this treasure. So enjoy this AMCO Exclusive: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=q9DOmlfICGw.

A quick reminder - if you order the 'Nobody's Diary EP Digital & 12" Bundle' from Mute Bank, not only is it cheaper than buying the 12" EP and downloads seperately, you also get the exclusive 'Soil In The Synth Remix' as well - this mix is exclusive to Mute Bank.

Did you know that purchases made via Mute Bank count towards the UK charts..
