The shivering fits

So another visit to Den's Den...I was down at The Lyceum to see the fantastic Ida Barr burlesque show on Sunday night which gave me not only the shits and giggles but plenty of material for this here blog. We've got tracks, we've got girls and we've got magic. What more do you want?!




This guy flips my wig. Not only did he write the previously pimped on this blog "Stop and you'll become aware" by Helen Shapiro but he's a peachy-keen cabaret geetar player with a fine line of patter for the ladies. This guy looks like that arch-Tory Maurice Saatchi but don't let that give you the heeby-jeebs: he's as smooth as a baby's ass with a voice to match! There's nothing on offer here to download but if you search for him on Itunes there are free downloads of the Earl Okin show, capiche! Do it! Search the web for the equally fab "Bessie". All-together now..."Get that FAT arm offa me!




I don't care what people say about Tom Waits- he sounds like Dylan after eating a bowl of barbed wire, he tries too hard, he's pretentious etc...this guy can pull off the white blues trick pretty well...and we all know how tricky that can be. Wig out to this prime slab from '85.





And so on to The Puppini Sisters, sisters they ain't but they sure can play. Yup, they murder a few modern tracks on the two LP's they've churned out but this is one of their own and should point the way forward. What kind of a schlub would jilt these dolls?




So Den watch the above-average Judd Apatow flick "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (surely they could come up with a better title than that stinker...) last night and you can forget about the blondie from "Heroes" and tune your peepers into the receptionist Mila Kunis. Maybe it's cos Den is holidaying in Hawaii but she gave me the shivering fits...not a bad flick but it's a shame all receptionists are slick-back haired polyester-suit wearing desk-jockeys instead of this Russian delight!



So there was this Ida Barr thing on at The Lyceum and there was plenty o' good stuff with Den took up in the front row but he was particularly taken with the fantastic Ursula Martinez. Now Den ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer and he though actual 'magic' was taking place when apparently it's down to a large fake thumb...can you spot it? This women's got balls!
