John Cooper Clark is standing in for Jarvis Cocker on 6 Music and was just playing this:


What the hell happened to Finley Quaye? He was briefly a breath of fresh air in the moribund British music scene. Last I'd heard, he'd blown his cash and was on trial for spitting in a woman's face.

Your choice of 'breath of fresh air' has childishly amused me, as I remember another musician who'd been around Quaye at a festival saying in an interview that he had horrendous BO.

A sad day for me. Interviewed Steve back in the 1980s long before he became another smalltown boy wrecked by heroin. No musician, but a great face.

Reminds me of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle--industrial bliss. Australia had a pretty interesting new wave scene that's often forgotten about - Flash and the Pan, Icehouse, Real Life etc.

Agreed with him on social media, though Facebook is more comparable to a Ponzi scheme - businesses investing in ads, getting little in return, and Zuckerberg's revenue increasing.

I never said I rate it OVER the original, it's simply her adaptation of it (which I still like, especially as it clocks in at less than 4 minutes...unlike the original)

Lately I've been listening to a lot of this:

The Cure (Penelopes Remix)

Yeah, it's one of 1983's best...1983 is my favourite year from that decade by the way...the British invasion was kicking in again.
