Bit sloshed

Nothing interesting in me being sloshed. But I'm having a Mod revival evening and oh, there's so much I love. The Action, Ken Boothe (first record I ever bought was Everything I Own - in Boots - upstairs in the Eastbourne store (upstairs isn't there any more).

We've gone through Prince Buster, Geno Washington (to die for - SO cool), Marvin, Patsy and Derrick, Shangri-Las (go beyond Leader of the Pack - you will quake in your boots . If you don't wear boots then you're probably not welcome here).

This is all trivial - Northern Soul is unchartered territory for some, even for (Michael, the...) lovers.

  1. 70's eh? I recall my big sis' playin' all that stuff. I was too busy playin' kids Subbuteo, but it's all still etched in my mind - have a good 'n', Lil. But can you write 2moz with a hangover?
    Ps. I'm an 80's type of guy.

  3. Oh yes, I can write tomorrow, blrgh, blrgh....

    It's only 70s 'cos I was so advanced as a child. :) Not really! Mum was and is a big Kinks/Jimmy Hendrix/Soul fan and my Dad is/was a major Gene Vincent and Buddy Holly fan. I love to watch them jive.

    Music's in my genes. I love music with a passion and get very angry about middle-of-the-road crap.

    You're not that much younger than me. I love early 80s; all the Two Tone stuff (obviously, though it was better late 70s), Depeche Mode, Human League, Heaven 17. I was of course a Boy George girl and met him at a fashion show at Campden Palace in 1981 - seriously.

    Do love the Mancie sound, though - Ian Brown's a hero. Oasis are not.

    Love Faithless, Placebo ... you know what ... this isn't the place.

    Nighty night Col. Well done on the Critters Award (we think)

If you see her dancing outside in a thunder storm - don't try to bring her in. She's safe.
