Something for the weekend
July 16th, 2010
I may have to create a new tag called “Noel Edmonds is an annoying twat” but even he can’t spoil the magic of this.
What’s it all about?
The sentimental musings of an ageing expat in words, music, and pictures. Mp3 files are up for a limited time so drink them while they're hot.

Stopping by Clare Grogan on the way
Biba pop!
Their eponymus album is currently available through Cherry Red. It’s a blinder. My mate had this on very wonky vinyl, and we played it to death during the 80′s. Absolutely fantastic. They also did the theme to Kenny Everett’s TV show in the 80′s. It’s called ‘Electro People’, and was a minor hit…shame.
