The Paleface Parabola - 16-07-2025
So then... what to say that I haven’t said a minimum of too many times already? Well I'm not sure, since I make up these lures to listen to our quest as I type! Let’s see, as I stall for a tiny bit more of time... Okay, we have our heading. This week’s Paleface Parabola is jam-packed with music and lots of it, instead of the usual yap yap. Yes,there are a couple of those moments to be certain, but we had our freak flag flapping proudly in the transoceanic winds. You scoff? How about Ken Nordine and Tom Waits harmonising, and Randy Newman defending (ahem) the big bad beast that is America in 2025. Reggae music, like it was Saturday night in 1970’s Kingston, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainesbourg bringing the sexy. Well, Jane Birkin brings the Erotique sexy anyway. And The Strawbs from the Mystery Man’s hands, because the world should hear more of Dave Cousins music. There’s more. Darn the torpedos!
