So you have a picture of Bananarama in a high rise flat in north London, a funky pad owned by the Bass Player of Shalamar, and weirdest of all they do a feature on a bloke who I think is the guitarist in JoBoxers and he's pictured in this grotty squat with nothing but a mattress, a boombox, a pile of cassettes, some cans of lager and a gold disc for 'Boxerbeat' leaning up against the wall.

Rob, despite being an American, you still have more of a sense of sarcasm than Bill who just seems to take everything at face value, and deadly serious.....to hilarious effect. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 20:44:03 EDT From: MarkBursa@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Punk Sucks (I read it on a bumper so it must be true) > >>Mine would be 154 and the punk-baiting sprawl that is 'Document & > Eyewitness'......<< > > So would mine.... > > In the unlikely event of Wire running out of new ideas, they could go back > to 1980 and finish off their fourth album :-) > > Mark ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 08:38:28 +0200 From: Bart van Damme Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Re: time reflected like a whore > well of course in the early 70's it was long before Bowie Bonds , career plans > and trying to be part of the Rock Establishment. also he made some quite good > records , but it's sooooo long ago. i think we should all move on. p I'm sure you understand people who loved Bowie in the 70's still being interested in what the man comes up with nowadays.

It's the B-side of the Inventory 7in.

So next to mad Mexicans and ufo's we can now safely add funny walks amongst Franks major lyrical topics? Come to think of it there are lots of songs about [funny] walks, aren't there... Tom Waits' Walking Spanish, Mink DevIlle's Spanish Stroll... Hmmm, Frank Blacks sings in Spanish a lot... Could this mean funny walks are Spanish by definition? ;-) Bart > No, I think he explains it in the liner notes to the Complete B-Sides. > What I remember (since I don't have the CD in front of me...(^_^)) is > that they saw this guy walking down the street.
