So, Honey,it's my first and only message today, you won't be too angry
with me even if it's a bit redundant,but migala ( I believe they wanted
not to be written with capitals,but I am not sure)are from my home
city,Madrid, and it is not very common any Bellie and Sebbie member knows
and praises some band from there! 

So,everybody,let's listen to 'Asi duele un verano' and 'Diciembre
3AM',their second and first album,respectively.OK?It's just what Stuart
David wants you to do and I am sure you all are starting to  feel
mesmerised by his words...

Ye-ye : it comes from yeah-yeah , and it was widely used in Spain in the
60's,but the word could arrive there from France,as it was applied to
singers like Sylvie Vartan ,France Gall and so on. Philippe,where are you
to help me with this philological stuff?In a more general sense,it was any
youngster around 1965 with Beatles / Mod haircut, (too long for
traditional tastes),interested in 'light',pop music.If it was a girl,the
hair could be sort of Twiggy style or maybe some complicated and cropped
bun.And the dress was this sort of mini-skirted ,pencil -shaped thing with
no sleeves...

Sorry for this fashion history digression.My next email will be entirely
devoted to B&S or won't be,Miss Honey, I promise!
