My Treachery
++From the inbox: Friend of SOG Robin Grey has an album release party tomorrow in London at the Slaughtered Lamb, if anyone happens to be in the neighborhood. His 3rd album, The Nearest Door, is being released this week.
++My adoration for Tracey Thorn is preeeetty well documented over the past few years, but I didn't know about her project Marine Girls from back in 1980! Much like Young Marble Giant, these songs have a fragile DIY feel that wouldn'tve made it in the harsh music world of today.
Honey is so sweet it could be the intro to someone reading a nursery rhyme. (The production in Mimi Carey's later version totally ruined the song.) And how many songs incorporate gargling the way TT does in In Love. Her early mastery of wry lyric was there from the get-go.
