The Mod Generation

The Society of Cool!

I just watched a recording of Chris Farlowe perform "Out Of Time" on Beat Beat Beat in 1966; can´t think of any other pop star so ugly and yet so fascinating at the same time in his double breasted jacket and paisley shirt! If you want to, look it up on YouTube and tell me if you can top that with anything else!

Yeah kai. I dunno about ugly but pretty odd. I do like that song quite a bit though. That clip, in general is shot in a weird way. Not sure how to describe it but yeah...

Yes, Clem, he´s a great singer and used to be a smart dresser too, but something about him...

I Saw him live at the TWISTED WHEEL last july, he was great, and had time for everyone afterwards as well, in the WHEEL Tradition, acts appearing there in the 60,s would nearly all hang around afterwards talking to everyone, watch him on u tube on the ready steady go Otis special singing Mans World, it is stunning!!!

His version of Midnight Hour- stunning, too!

Oh, Kevin Rowland looks like a ferret, but Dexys is one of my absolute favourite bands, ever.

Yeah- good one, Kevin Rowland! One of my favourite bands, too, but certainly no eye- candy!

I was stood next to Kevin in a record shop in Gardner Streeet, Brighton a couple of weeks ago and he looked quite dapper.

Certainly depends on what he chooses to wear for the day!

He looks like this now, in fact he was wearing that hat when I saw him, like a good wine he has improved with age!

Compared to this here Stevo, you´re right! Don´t get me wrong I´d be the first to get my ticket for a reunion tour; always loved the Dexys ( but rather listening to- than looking at them, lol!)

Then you will be pleased to know that Dexys are recording a new album as we speak and will tour to promote it.

Yeah may be good news! As long as the set includes the likes of Geno and Dance Stance... His unique whining voice helped me through many a teenage depression, really.
