Suzy & Los Quattro
with The Rubinoos in Spain this week!

5th - Apolo 2, Barcelona

6th - Plateruena Kafe, Durango, Vizcaya

7th - Wurlitzer Ballroom, Madrid (This is a fabulous joint, kids!)

Less than a month until the UK Quattro shows. Make it a date!!
I have a couple of pieces of good news to impart in this short burst.

Firstly, "No Blokes In The Boonaraaas!!!" has disbanded as a result of Tine rejoining this fab combo.

Secondly, Scott Kempner is working on songs with Syd Straw. Good news.

However, here's where it gets a little odd. If you read these comment things then you may have noticed that I suggested to Joss that there's a film to be made about Record fairs. He then told me about "Vinyl" of which I had no idea.

So I went to YouTube, as you do and I found the following clip of the film maker, Alan Zweig. It scared me because I kind of recognise some aspects of what he's talking about to symptoms of my own condition. Now I need to see the whole thing and feel like it might be somewhat more unnerving than any horror film. Anyway, you've been warned.

Suggested dress; bird with a word, Brigitte Bardot’s washcloth, like you’ve got good taste, Jayne Mansfield’s rotting corpse, for the love of ivy, psychedelic safari, die fast don’t live.
