Den had just shaved for the first time when a tape of this behometh 60 track double “Costly Disc” was slipped to him. He began to gorge himself on blue eyed soul & Motown wannabees to escape the misery of being 17.
Den’s been digging Duke & Leonard this week since his brother, Len Iniquity, brought it up last week during chow down time. I guess these two are going for a Sam & Dave but they don’t quite make it…s’marvelous all the same. “Little” Carl Carlton went on to be a bit of dirty ol’ bastard when he went past 9 years old (as he is on this one) cutting the likes of “She’s a bad mama jama (she’s built she’s stacked)" but give me this every time it puts ants in my pants and makes me come over all unnecessary. To top it off it’s on the fantastically named Lando records and is the only one of this bunch that I’ve reeled in. Linda Carr is a Motown style rip off that flips Den’s wig…can you imagine Diana Ross attempting to this one…she’d snap in half! And finally the bizarrely named “Tojo”…no not “Toto”…Tojo…he/she (I ain’t so sure) sounds like some kind kinky foot job. These are just 4 of the 60 tracks on this…I don’t know if it’s still available but hey, the search is part of the fun.
Yup, that is Den's famous hands along with the top of his hat holder...and here is a tasty scan of the Lando label.
Duke & Leonard- Just do the best you can
Little Carl Carlton- Don't you need a boy like me
Den almost chocked on his suds when he discovered this as he looked for stuff around the great film “Secretary” which was showing in Den’s digs on Thursday night. Den hadn’t cast his beady one on this since ’02 when he saw at the picture palace and he needs his head reading for waiting 7 years to watch it again. Not only have we got the dream boat Maggie Gyllenhall we also have the hep cat that is James Spader playing an uptight sadist. And if it can’t get any better some goofball has set it to a bizarre half-baked synth led Macca track from 1980! Oh, this gave me the giggles…
Just as last time, Den has seen this lot up close…this time in the big apple back in August. Phew, Den was in a pickle as to whether he went for the cute as a button Angie; the hot tapper, Helen; or the fantastically tattooed Peekaboo Pointe (who I believe is on loan whilst the other Pontani rears her ankle-biter). Well, after many overdraft busting cocktails Den managed to steady his lens and snap these three tomatoes during a rat pack themed routine…Den couldn’t decide which to single out for his attention so he’s going with all three…yee-ha! Peekaboo is nudging it for Den at the mo as he will forever have the memory of being at the business end of Peekaboo's routine to "Nobody does it better".
There is a strange lack of videos out there so you’ll have to make do with snaps. You can get a great DVD of go-go dancing "Go-Go robics" featuring the original 3 which is a great watch even if you move like a Grandad navigating an icy pavement.
TTFN but Den will be back in two shakes of a lamb's arse
