This is for today. It has a backstory. More than 35 years ago my little bro' lent me a tape with a band on it that was utterly magical. And I lost the tape. He was gutted.
Over the years I have searched for the band but I had forgotten their name, so it was a bit of a futile exercise. I was too embarrassed to ask my brother.
Last week I stumbled across a really interesting band. Venus in Furs. They have never released a CD having split in 1990. They are from Worthing. I listened to various tracks, then stumbled across . . . . the most magical of tracks. Yes, it was the band who my brother had taped off John Peel in the 1980s.... see what you think.
I have managed to create a CD for my brother that I'll surprise him with next time I see him. Rather late recompense, perhaps, but still.
Jess has been knocking at the door to enter shingle's pantheon of minxes for a while now and has now been admitted. She now joins Debbie Harry and that sort from Aqua et al.
