I guess everyone knows by now of my love for Strawberry Switchblade and their exquisite Pop perfection. It’s one of the few lasting loves from my teenage years. Cycling would be another one, but that’s another story entirely.
Anyway, the rather sparkling Playpeople (they are shiny, bright and appear from the photographic evidence to have a penchant for stripey tops and perfectly sculpted hair – note, not a beard in sight!) have incorporated a sample from ‘Since Yesterday’ into their ‘Oh What A Life…’ track, and it’s really rather magical. If I were still running a record label I would be running around excitedly demanding the opportunity to release a super sexy 3” CD. But I’m not, so I can’t. But someone else really ought to. It would be positively indecent if they didn’t, in fact.
As it is I will have to make do with demanding you all drop by their whatsitspace and take a listen. I’ll also no doubt give it a spin on my next radio show, which will give me another opportunity to ramble incoherently about Rose and Jill. And probably cycling. It’ll be in the midst of Le Tour, after all… I have a sequence of bicycling songs all ready lined up. You think I’m joking, don’t you?
