Hi, efd and crew. I haven't experienced "Riff Raff" before. It's got some kick to it, dunnit?

This song makes me think of the way they danced in those 80's movies.

Now I'm curious if there was a name for it.

We each bring our own life experiences to the table when it comes to interpreting songs.

All I know is, nobody better give me no pushback when I ask for pizza. But I like the song. You've played it before? Seems familiar.

Good Evening, efd & all! Nice synth work on that Belbury Circle track.

It took all of my strength to hold my fist down during Riff Raff - typically I will punch the air as hard as I can during that song but I was on the bus so I had to sit still and it was very challenging. My God, Powerage!

Hey Funkospapiens. Just tuned in. Love the vibe of this 'new releases' show. Bummer about Keene and Young. Favourite AC/DC album is prb Powerage. Favourite Keene is "Ten Years After".

@efd did the band have a clever name?

@medson The Dirt Cheap. I'll leave it to you whether it was clever or not.

Number Six:

@Julie M: re: medson's profile pic. Looks like he likes his retro sci-fi. It's a slightly altered still from a '50s flick called "The Deadly Mantis". I wonder how they ever got that carcass out of the tunnel.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:15pm
medson:

@efd I like it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17pm
Quasi Mojo:

Driver 67 is a very reasonable download, if that motivates anyone to go for it
  Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
Julie M:

I like your profile gif, too, Number Six. Medson's made me think of The Wicker Man, only with a praying mantis. And he always inserts himself into the scene.

I like The Dirt Cheap for an AC/DC cover band, too.

@Julie M: Thanks. :) The Wicker Man was a pretty good flick.

Didn't Persephones Bees have a release on Spoonful Records?

certainly possible, I don't recall offhand though

What?

Wait. Wicker Mantis. A band name? Anybody? Anybody? Alright, I give up. Might be time for bed soon. But I sure have been enjoying the show, efd.

It has possibilities. What type of music would they play?

@Number Six, hell, I was thinking ahead of myself. I dunno what kind of music Wicker Mantis would play. And yet I do, but I can't tag it in words. Kind of like The Peep Tempel but not much like Beth Ditto.

Someday perhaps there will be an occasion to mention bandcamp, Le Poisson Rouge, and The Bedazzler in the same sentence. I await that occasion. But for now, good night.
