I have two more items coming in soon, but "I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing" single was one of the cheapest items on Amazon and thought to get! It came in a few days since I ordered it! Funny thing, the colors of it matched my attire yesterday! The CD isn't in bad condition but the back of the album case, consists of little cracks nothing too major. It includes the album version of course, mixes of the song and have "Violence(Hacienda version)", "Too Many People" and "West End Girls(Sasha Mix)." If you like good deals then, Amazon is packing with them! The album art consist of Neil in the middle with a overly excited shouting pose and little Chris around him in a about to be moving pose and the CD itself have pink silhouettes of poses of Neil and Chris on it. It has a symmetrical relation to the album art between colors and the musicians.

Cicero - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Italian Mama Mix)
I came across something very fascinating, I heard Pet Shop Boys produced Cicero at Spaghetti Records. It's funny that even this had Something Soft Cell related in a way. A mix version of a Soft Cell song, although there isn't no real lyrics on this version. My mobile phone is limited so if there's an actual version of him singing it, then that's Fantastic! Anyway, this is only more like a vocalization of the song really, basically hearing "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" and then a female's voice vocalizing throughout this piece. I thought the cover image was pretty neat too, especially using opposite colors from the color wheel! And silhouettes of people signifying movement say hello, wave goodbye. I know some people want to keep knocking Soft Cell as a throw away pop band, but it won't happen considering a lot of artists using their material such as this. Even A-ha covered the song which I'll post soon, I just thought I share this, this doesn't have the same feel as Soft Cell, It's more of a feel like when you drive at night out of town somewhere in a digital dream.
Come to find out, he did cover this song, will update when I find it!
P.s. I don't know that much about Cicero, I'm still checking his music out.

Another Relation between here and now photos
I noticed something about these two particular photos, like how Chris and Pete both did impressionistic photos in different time periods, in this case this is about Neil with a portrait canvas of a dog and a photo he took from his photo from a dog standing outside a window. When I saw the latest pet text, I noticed the photo reminded me of how Neil was holding a canvas of a random dog. Now this time he took a photo of a random dog with its face outside a window. Reason is because a canvas and a window are both squares or rectangles or can be form in many shapes. As an artist, it fascinated me that I can see a relation between these two photos. I would also even consider a photo of him and Kevin as a relation, but he knows who Kevin is, whereas the other two dogs are random and different. Also symbolizes his love for dogs, even though you can't see Neil in the photo, but you know he took the photo based on description. It's also funny too, because it also reveals that back then, you would need a portrait or something made or even using a camera, that would produce decent photos but as of now, you can take photos on your phone and stuff. To me, this is something that is like an updated version of the photo of him holding a canvas. Again, I think these two photos have some kind of relation. The mood may vary but still have a relation about the musician, the dog and being inside an object, in the case of the dog outside the window, inside and out. Even the 3-D effect maybe a possible symbolism too, but this is just me thinking outside of the box over something very simple, even the location is different. The wood on the canvas can relate to the building, I think.
