From her new album which has Mike Chapman at the helm again - for much better results than her uneven last few albums. And she does that Goldfrapp cover (which in itself was a glam rock tribute) justice.

This beckons to be included in the oeuvre of Les Nasty Habits je croix.

Could be. It's so bad I couldn't listen to it all the way through.

Isn't she little long in the tooth to be dressing like that?

She says the old leather jump suits still fit. Her butt has become a little more shapely, but she has held up well, give the girl a break, Dave!

She can dress any way she wants to, fine with me, but I can still say carefully ripped jeans look silly on a 61-year-old woman. Hey Suzi, 1980 just called and wants its fashions back.

Dave... claws back in their holsters... ;D

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

 We'll see, I was honestly floored last week when I by chance met a long time fan at a bar - and of all things was asked why, why do we not play any Slade?!

Dave is right though, it's nothing for a still attractive, but nevertheless vintage by now lady. Suzi doesn't have to dress like her mom but facial fissures and fashion should be in some sort of correlation. That is what Edith says at least. Your legs can still look great, but a look in the mo(u)rning mirror should tell you whether a mini skirt is still becoming on you ... Living members of The Nasty Habits excepted of course who are of time- and ageless beauty. I hasten to add!!!

Suzi's songs or even the ones from Chinn/Chapmann weren't exactly Sgt. Pepper you know. It was throwaway glam teeny bop stuff with lots of - by then already old-fashioned - fifties rock'n'roll clichées thrown in. It had cheesy charm though. This one fits that mo(u)ld except that it now - eqally backwards oriented - cites glam rock.

Just listen to this here from her second album:




She was never Detroit's Bruce Springsteen either.

Oh alright; since you hinted so nicely. Just don't let Scott see the original bass that his was copied off ............... and don't even start him on which of all those Hiwatts is the one that he's now using. (It's the third one along the bottom row, behind Nod & H btw  ;)  )


Suzi gets a four page write-up in this months Guitar & Bass magazine; her No. 1 bass is her Dad's 57 precision that he gave over to her when she started out.
