Is it just my tastes, or has the recording industry hatched a massive plot
to relieve us all of our wallets this month? I'm not just talking about the
50 track Ultimate Doo Wop collection due out today either. If you're none
too happy about the marketing of Legal Man, check out Clientele, managing to
recycle tracks off of TWO previous singles for their scrumptious e.p.!
Despite my fondness for the band, I wondered if they qualified as fey (even
before it was used to describe B&S), but I was suprised to find that the
Dictionary thinks it's
1) Scottish for DOOMED; marked by a foreboding of death or calamity
2) able to see into the future, and only
3) a) precious b)unconventional or campy
so once again, the English language has managed to completely confound me.
I don't think it's been mentioned on the list, but Clientele will be playing
Saturday at the Fez in NYC
