Love Not Money

[edit]

  • ... that Love Not Money is the most overtly-politicised album recorded by the British band Everything but the Girl? Source:"Tracey:"It's our most overtly-politicized set of lyrics—some good, some a bit crass". [1]
    • ALT1:... that themes of British band Everything but the Girl's 1985 album Love Not Money include sexism, social and economic stratification, and The Troubles in Northern Ireland? Source: "They also upped the ante in their songwriting, tackling a range of issues from the Irish troubles to the troubles of movie star Frances Farmer, with lots of criticism of the stratification and sexism of the current social and economic system thrown in." [2]
    • ALT2:... that a reviewer described the song "Sean" from British band Everything but the Girl's 1985 album Love Not Money as "Celtic kitsch" that is "so ham-fisted you'll cringe"? Source: "The murky, cavernous stuff assumes that droning on depressively is the best way to handle weighty topics, and some of the new touches, like the Celtic kitsch of "Sean", with ultra-kitschy tin flute, are so ham-fisted you'll cringe."

5x expanded by Baffle gab1978 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:33, 27 June 2019 (UTC).

  • The article has been expanded enough, is long enough, and has no copyright violations. The Track listing section and its subsections plus the Personnel section needs to be referenced. SL93 (talk) 02:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
  •  Partly done; I've reffed the track list from Amazon. I cannot find the 1995 reissue on Amazon; I'm looking elsewhere for it. Am I allowed to use discogs.org as a reference for the tracklist? Baffle☿gab 03:15, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, @SL93:, I'll take a look at this and fix the refs in the next few days. This is my first DYK nom;

QPQ  Done: Template:Did you know nominations/Warming stripes. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 06:11, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Comment: thanks for doing the QPQ review, Baffle gab1978. QPQs are always welcome, though per the rules not required until an editor has five DYK credits, so not actually required on your first DYK nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:52, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
No problem; it's as well I start early... :D I'll get this properly reffed tonight. Cheers, 21:39, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
  • From searching the Reliable sources noticeboard, I saw Discogs isn't considered reliable since it it user edited. SL93 (talk) 03:28, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks; I guess I'll have to remove or hide that section until it can be referenced. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:15, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Subsection hidden. Thanks to BlueMoonset for the reminder! :) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:58, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Is that necessary? Even Ben Watt has said the song doesn't work (though I kinda like it). Cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:01, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
  • This is approved. I like ALT1 the best. SL93 (talk) 16:21, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
