This new game enables one to foster a bacteria cell and develop it into a complex organism which can eventually become a space traveller. I also noticed that More Than This by Roxy Music is playing some of the time on car radios in the computer game Grand Theft Auto - Vice City set (remarkably) in the 80s and peopled with Crockett and Tubbs lookalikes. This pretty old game enables one to steal motor vehicles through the use of force and shoot people up.

Haven't heard the O. V. Wright version before and really like it. Has a touch of the Teddy Bears' To Know, Know, Know Him about the intro and O.V. has a smattering of Sam Cooke about his larynx. Of course, I'm familiar with Otis' belter (it?has always been my favourite Otis track) and never tire of picking out Steve Cropper's delicious licks. Sixties retro?seems to be the new 2008 at the moment and I'd like to urge you to listen to the production on Duffy's Mercy - full of Hammond organ and bass drum (the Northern Soul dancers on the video are worth a look too). Looking forward to picking up the album, nothing I've heard from her yet has disappointed me and there is a link (albeit tenuous), the title's Rockferry. Interested to see what you Sixties girlband fiends Steve Siren and M. Reece think of her (if you can put Bat For Lashes down long enough Reecey!). Jocelyn That' how strong my love was the b-side of the OV Wright single There Goes My Used To Be on the goldwax label, his first single and his first non gospel. Written by Roosevelt Jamison. It was covered in the same year by Otis Redding.

Agree about the Dusty overtones, but a little rawer. Just searched and found?that Bernard Butler produced and co-wrote the album - a man used to working with big diva voices and sixties strings when co-studio/touring-habiting with David McAltmont.

'Sixties Girlband Fiend' ? Uncannily accurate ! Hey, I've been called worse. Coincidentally Joc, I put Bat for Lashes down just long enough to play the aforementioned Duffy's 'Mercy' on the show a week or two back, after it had been recommended to me. It's good, I love that feel, the 60s jazzy nightclub sort of vibe (a retro thing too often credited to the great Amy Winehouse, though personally I think Gabrielle had begun that vibe long before, though she never got the kudos for it - one listen to the marvellous 'Give Me A Little More Time' has me weeping into my Shangri-Las T-shirt in my weaker moments). I haven't heard any more tracks from Duffy as yet though, but I really must hear the Album. I feel it may well be far, far superior to whats-her-names '1,2,3,4, god this songs a crashing bore' or whatever it is. I'll get round to hearing the rest of her material if I can drag myself away from the latest Death Cab For Cutie opus. Incidentally, speaking of Han's great Ferry Uncovered series, I sent the aforementioned Dutch master a rather splendid and rarely, rarely heard 1962 original recently, which I am hoping may be the next one in line for the cognoscenti. Ok Han ? Reecey... .. - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
