Sinister: The Beat Goes On

[Peter Miller]

FOX in GLOVE, the sun PINES out of our behinds...
PF harrumphed:

I have no idea.

> b) why a nightmare?

The traffic is bad enough as it is. Imagine if the long-suffering
inhabitants of Dublin, Dundee, Humberside had to contend with vast tidal
waves of lumberjacks on heat prowling the streets, wafting their hormones
hither and thither.

> c) why the future? I have been on the streets of London many times in the
> past; and in Birmingham once or twice.

But that was before The Foxgloves and The Pines took the charts by storm and
gigged endlessly up and down the country.

You dirty sod! That's the bustiest poster of all time! Do they still sell
them? You'll ruin your eyes.

"The Beat Goes On" by Sonny and Cher is featured on "The Beat Goes On"
compilation on the Kent label. And I quote: "Cut by New Orleans veteran
producer Harold Battiste, the record is by far the hippest number this
husband and wife duo ever cut, and revived a career that by early 1967 was
flagging....'The Beat Goes On' gives us a very atmospheric go-go style of
music, some mildly nostalgic lyrics and a great title to borrow for a CD
compilation." Does that sound right? The lyrics certainly have Isobel
potential, being about mini skirts and grandmas, among other things. It goes
"la-de-da-de-doo, la-de-da-de-dee".  I had assumed it was the one that goes
"and the beat goes on, just like my love, everlasting". Is this
the one Erica was referring to?

My enjoyment of pop music has increased considerably since I was 13.

There is a Seymour Stein co-production on Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures
Volume 3.

THAI NEWS 1
Someone has made an enormous motorbike.

THAI NEWS 2
"In a case given extensive coverage in the Bangkok tabloids, a monk dressed
up as an army colonel, donned dark glasses and a wig to cover up his shaven
head, and frequented karaoke bars, where he picked up women."

Keep those concert reports coming in, top marks for the Monica Queenies.

with kind regards,
Sister Disco
