Temporary Message Board Closure
The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that
would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling
to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different
platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content
(posts, user profiles, etc.).
However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere
from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated.
While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some
long-term savings.
The current message board will be closed down at some point this
Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are
reading this), will NOT be affected.

| Billy's first solo effort shows a slightly lighter version of what was to come, but it still rocks albeit with poppier overtones. BUT don't let that put you off as to me this ranks as one of his best albums. The Big Beat comes across as The Stroke Jr. it must be where the more well known song has it's roots. Who's Your Boyfriend has been resurrected from his Piper days and is perfect pop rock to me, Rich Kid is a bit more venomous with it's slightly bitter lyrics and Young Girls ends my copy on a darker note too. I say my copy as the reissue has a couple of demo tracks on it and I haven't heard them, so can't comment. Qulity all the way through here and although Can't Say No was the biggie this album is no slouch and still stands up well today! Might give it a spin when I get home !

| Billy's debut solo album may not be as strong as his knockout second effort, but it's not that far off, and lays out the template for that smash, and for the man's career in general, like a mix of cheery power-pop and hard-rock muscle. "The Big Beat" is the best-known song here, and is often accused of being cheesy, but that's mostly down to its video. Other highlights include a strong middle stretch of the disc, especially "Who's Your Boyfriend" and the semi-ballad "Like I'm Lovin' Y." I actually like this album better than Emotions In Motion.
