So the nights are getting dark and our quest is coming to an end. I've been knocking down the Scott Pilgrim series and revisiting some Patricia Highsmith short stories from the 'Animal lover's book of beastly murder' which up to now is not as good as I remember. Anyway, these are two tunes from my recent bus jaunts into town, a snippet from some giggage and a trailer from my latest flick.
And so I was heading back from my evening of relaxation with the old ladies and this one from '66 crept up on me by way of the shuffle on my ipod. Way better than you'd expect Chuck to be in the mid- sixties he name checks various dances before heading to aforementioned club of the title. I can't get enough of this dude at the mo and you can get your fill right here!
And so I bring to you unworthy schmos a pair of geeks who are perhaps the biggest bunch of over-rated/ underrated dudes ever to step out in the millstone decade of the 1.9.6.0's. Anyhow's this one was put to right's by Dana Valery at Wigan during it's pop craze (I need to see a playlist to sniff out to see if the snootiness of Y2K is valid) but Simon and Garf nail this one. Defo one of the most underrated/ overlooked pairings ever. I had an epiphany earlier when I realised that whilst Simon has some cred Garf has none and when it boils down to it they are both serious geeks/ oddballs. Lap it up, fuzzballs!
So I went with Mark to my new fave Sheff venue- The Queens Rd social club. This place invoked memories of Bethnal Green in Feb and was a great night with the surprisingly melodic Dum Dum Girls who did an equally surprising cover of 'Heart of stone' by The Rolling Stones. Although whether this my mind playing tricks I dunno cos they also cover a song with the same name by The Raveonettes. Anyway, heres some dum ass gal interviewing the lead singer who gave me info I was unaware of...
I also watched this pretty good sci-fi film called Moon which I think you should too. The always good Sam Rockwell gets a chance to go for it up against some clones. Watch it people. Directed by Bowie's son this is Major Tom to ground control...
