So, what have you been listening to lately?

[Basvarken]

Danke, Rob, now that I didn't know! A Belgian Frank Farian so to say.

Exactly. Boney M / Milli Vanilli avant la lettre.

[Dave W]

Something different from Texas-born, Mexico-based Joe Teutsch, a/k/a Joe King Carrasco.

Mexican Ska? You live and learn.

[Dave W]

Tex-Mex music has been around at least as long as ska.

Anyway...saw this pic in my FB feed. Nick Lowe, Wanda Jackson and Elvis Costello, taken last night. Holy crap! Nick Lowe has turned into Orville Redenbacher!

[uwe]

Real (Black) Country.

With a guest from Walsall, no less.

Who else would you expect to find in Köln?

[uwe]

Why, Japanese and Chinese tourists of course!

[Basvarken]

And a few Limburgers most likely

[uwe]

We're not letting them in anymore.

[Basvarken]

Okay, dann gibt es in Venlo ab Heute auch keine Zigaretten und Kaffee (und Drogen) mehr für unsere Nachbarn.

Unrelated, I just leave this here, to be ignored as usual by you all. Très Kraftwerk and intentionally so.

I am, of course, familiar with the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds versions of the song, but I diidn't know until today that Status Quo had also done the song.  SQ has such a steady sound with their music.
