femme fatale

i was beyond thrilled to learn there a few extra genevieve waite songs around - they can be found on the 'andy warhol presents...man on the moon. a john phillips space musical! there are 5 new songs on the cd plus this little oddity which makes me laugh. if you want to read about this disastrous - but i think totally wonderful musical read this

golden throat

GOLDIE HAWN - BUTTERFLY
just after 'laugh-in' in 72, goldie recorded a country album. not a musical highlight in any way, but in this curiously charming song she sings in french. check it out - what do you think?

fräulein francoise 1

FRANCOISE HARDY - BALD IST SO LANG HER
like many artists at the time, francoise recorded in other languages apart from french - including a fantastic german album in 1970. and it's nowhere near as unappealing as it sounds! - she makes a rather ugly language sound marvy!

spacer, star chaser

DEE D. JACKSON - RED FLIGHT
i've been painting the kitchen today - a totally boring activity that's been made bearable by listening the space age disco queen dee d. she recorded a handful of songs that are like a mini space disco opera - genuis! if you like this - check out automatic lover, meteor man, venus, goddess of love, cosmic curves and s.o.s.

doll on doll action

GENEVIEVE WAITE - FEMME FATALE
is everyone familiar with g.w.? if not, you need to be. an actress in a few hip movies in the late 60's/early 70's and ex wife of john philipps from the mamas and the papas - she only recorded one totally amazing album in 73. think heroin betty boop, a drunken flapper, jodie foster as tallulah. mazing!
my personal faves worth checking out are pink gin and lime, girls and love is coming back.
