They tell me that to be surrounded by bastards is a good thing

So a bastard, son-of-a bitch from hell week from Den; the likes of which he don't wish to see until he enters the other side...So; Motown, Jessica Harper & Mr. B for yuz.





So I dug this great rare Motown CD and have since been trying to source this one (£100 would appear to be the starting price....so back to the dull cd. This gal was the first white artist on Motown (despite what Kiki Dee) may tell you! The answer record to 'Shop around' is worth a lesson too...As is this jibberish early sixties tune from the swell-named Harvey Fuqua! And to round off an all early Motown special is the Darnells sounding like they've kidnapped Phil Spector at gun point and drove him to Detroit. Well, I guess they did it before he did!







So I was recommended this flick by Dan Sette which wasn't bad and featured the unknown what she looks like now-but-would-certainly-build-a-time-machine-to-get-her-back-in-the-early-eighties Jessica Harper...check her as a standard neurotic in Woody's great 8 and a half rip-off 'Stardust memories' as well...though she looks more the berries in this one....But here's a comp by some stalker-type from the tube




A welcome journey back into the world of burly/ cabaret with Mr B. The gentlemen rapper. This guy is a frickin hoot that razzes my berries like there ain't no tomorrow. Check him out (prior knowledge of NWA- Straight out of Compton may be required). You gotta doff your cap to any guy who name checks Lapsang Souchong and pokes fun at the up it's own ass game that is cricket!
