Band Name[edit]

Erm, I didn't think this band was called "The Associates" but "Associates". Should this page be renamed accordingly? (A deficit of skipping?) Rushey Platt 21:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now done; and general text continues to expand. Feel free to Be Bold.

Infamous?[edit]

Is there any particular reason his cover version of "Boys Keep Swinging" is described as "Infamous" ?

According to the page for the original track, it was released 'without copyright permission' as a publicity stunt. Mocba! (talk) 18:39, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

Just done a bit of a rewrite, as it was all a bit fancrufty. I've never heard of anybody being described as "peacockian" before: whoever wrote it is either totally oblivious to Wikipedia's advice on avoiding peacock terms or is simply taking the piss. I'm still not sure which ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

Could do with a link to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/associates There must be more articles that people might be looking for other than the band "Associates". For example a quick search gives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associate%27s_degree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_Associates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.204.141 (talk) 13:03, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
