ACE OF BASE BROKE UP

[f1seb]

Actually they do tour here, I went to their last concert in NYC last year in Roseland Ballroom, so we are not forgotten although account for a small share of their fan base.

One visit does not account for a "tour".

I didn't say that's the only city that visited, I was kind of hoping that the self explanatory definition of the word "tour" would do the job. But that is not the point anyways. The point is that you don't need the USA market to be successful. There are many different formats of entertainment such as movie/music/sports etc. that can thrive without the American support. Your comment, that if you don't release an album in the USA or that you don't tour there than you have no audience, is completely based on just your opinion and is totally wrong as well.

I'm just teasing, Jesda.

I cry when my favorite television shows get canned... which they invariably do, before their time.

My favorite shows usually overstay their welcome.



Now I'm watching the UK version, and its arguably better.




As for AOB, all they really did was take reggae, add some synthesizers and a drum machine, and put it to some corny lyrics. Its not like they're geniuses. But man, that little bit of simple ear candy shaped popular music for a good 15 years.

And speaking of popular music, I was listening to an NPR interview yesterday with Burt Bacharach. He's sounding old. Its clever how he took the vocal tricks used in musicals and applied them to pop songs, all making them sound seamless by playing with time signatures.
