Tastes Just Like Cherry Cola


Look out of your window- does it look like June? What should we do? How about spending three days under canvas in a field somewhere in North Yorkshire? Oh go on then.

The Raincoats played a kind of folky post punk, formed in 1977 in response to punk's opening blast. They were also, as everyone always says about them, Kurt Cobain's favourites, and various punk players passed through their ranks- Palmolive, Ricard Dundanksi, Kate Korus- along with the central duo of Ana da Silva and Gina Birch. This is their surprisingly straight cover version of The Kinks' Lola.

Lola

The picture shows Man Ray's 1924 portrait of Peggy Guggenheim, kitted out for dress down Friday.

I'll be back in a couple of days, probably with a drenched tent, some very soggy family members and a bootful of mud.


Camping's off, number 2 child is ill.

Sorry to hear that SA. Been 'stuck in' meself looking after the mrs. 2x gig tickets and a trip to Wetherby races sacrificed - all in the name of 'in sickness and in health'. Be glad to go back to work for a rest!

Weather appalling in these parts - so drew is right. (He'll get soaked on his new scoota).

Board games SA - that's the ticket!
