Colour Me White

"White honey, get it from the candyman..." Or: one more exclusive hand picked six pack. In this week's Colour Me installment, GP and the mighty Rumour talk sweet, punkpop pioneers the Dickies speed up a moody blues, while Dublin's finest the Virgin Prunes look for the promised land of milk and honey. Next up, Little Feat finds inspiration in the East, furious Frisco punks the Avengers end up on the dole, and sixties unknowns the Painted Ship tell fuzzy lies in the garage. If you like what you hear, please buy a featured album or two.

Here Comes Spanish Johnny

"Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night..." Oh yes. The Boss has him sittin´ on one of those typical New York City fire escapes in all his bruised glory, watchin´ the kids playin´ down in the street. "Hey little heroes, summer's long but I guess it ain´t very sweet around here anymore..."

Meanwhile in Dublin, the lads from the Virgin Prunes think better of it when Johnny comes a-knockin´. "He said ´Do you wanna join my gang?´, I said ´You must be joking...´ Spanish Johnny got caught and went to jail to be a nice fellow for a long time..."
