Dear Spectropoppers,
It's official - there's a party across the hall - in Manchester!
SLOW FIZZ
A night of girl group heaven!
Brit girls, American teen queens, female northern soul & more...
Saturday 9th November
Upstairs at The Waldorf
(next to the Malmaison Hotel)
12 Gore Street
Manchester
8 PM - 02 AM (no entry after 11:30 PM)
£3
All info and the flyer will be online soon via the Slow Fizz website.
Watch this space!
Your DJs (so far!):
Mick Patrick
Ian Chapman
Declan Allen
Elisabeth (me) & Tag
And featuring, like the London party, a live PA of a selection of
60s songs performed by yours truly (better start practising again!)
IMPORTANT BIT: Spectropoppers will be welcomed free of charge but
you must email me to get on the list. However, if you enjoy the
evening pretty please make a small donation in Petula's Piggy Bank
to help cover room hire costs.
Also, if you are based in Leeds, Liverpool etc. and can help by
putting flyers in suitable record shops and that kind of thing, let
me know and I'll be happy to send some on.
Hope to see lots of you there!
Elisabeth x

Subject: Best real audio sites?
What are the best web sites for downloading real audio music?
Are there any that specialize in the kind of music favored by
this group?
[Team note: Not exactly Real Audio, but why not take a listen
to some of the 24-hour streaming radio stations playing just
the kind of things discussed around here.]

Subject: Dumbhead
[from the Spectropop Public Bulletin Board]
Does anyone remember this?...Maybe 10 years ago I was watching
the Letterman show and Paul Schafer would have the band play
bits of tunes that had something to do with the next guest, or
what Dave was saying, or whatever. Anyway, something caused
Paul to lead the group to play something that sounded just
like "Dumbhead". I was confused as heck thinking that I was
the only cat on the planet hip to that great and very obscure
single. So, Dave turns to Paul and says, "Paul, what was that?"
And he said, "Oh, Just a little thing by Ginny Arnell". Crazy,
what does the rest of Paul's record collection consist of?
And speaking of "Dumbhead", if any of you Spectropoppers have
grade school age boys and a copy of "Dumbhead", let them have a
listen sometime. With the anti-girl sentiments and the "peanut
for a brain" line they'll flip. My young-uns were rolling on the
floor the first time they heard the disc and it is pretty much
their all-time favorite single. So if whoever emailed Ginny does
so again, they can let her know somewhere she is still on top of
the charts!
