I must concur with Mark N. who rushed to the defence of LLPJ. I think its tops! I mean, 369 and Modern Rock Song still beat the pants off of it in my book but You Made Me Forget My Dreams is definitely one of my B&S faves, and so is the title track. As for Monica Queen I like her voice quite fine. I imagine an entire album of it would get quite boring but my fave part of the Bowlie tape is when she belts her lines and the crowd just goes ape. That and when Isobel jumbles her speech before The Kids Are Alright...she really is the cutest thing. On the advice of several from the Sinister parish I went out and bought Hefner's "The Fidelity Wars" and I must say I'm decidedly non-plussed. In fact, I'm actually on the border of revulsion but maybe that'll change. I mean, the guy obviously has a beautiful voice when he sings softly or at least at a normal level but instead he belts out the tunes and totally turns me off. I won't say they're terrible but I'm definitely returning it...should I get the new Aluminum Group or East River Pipe? On the inside of Donovan's greatest hits it lists his personal email address but I can't think of anything to say to the guy. He just seems like such an oddball (and a pretty arrogant guy to boot) that I'm a little intimidated. Any suggestions? Speaking of Mr. Leich, I have to agree with the critics who say B&S owe tons to him. Colours sounds alot like the B&S song that never was. The only difference being Donovan looks like a horses-arse and sings songs of beautiful women whereas Stuart looks like a beautiful woman and sings songs of girls who looks like horses-arses. Hmmm... Do I fancy women in Y-front undies? Not sure yet... Steve C. PS- I bid a fond adieu to George C. Scott and Werner Voss.
