A Month Of... Working On The Chain Gang...

Heh... as my mother would say, "there's more than one way to skin a cat" - and so there is actually more than one way that we could get from yesterday's song to today's...

The route I planned was...

The lead singer of Fairground Attraction was Eddi Reader... and if you are a Reader, you enjoy Books... so you get to The Beautiful South and "My Book"...


But you could also get to this by way of their single "Perfect 10"...

Beautiful South

Born To Rock...

Two born same day, same year - and I can't choose which to post, so you're getting both "twins"...

May 9th, 1962 - Dave Gahan, lead singer of Depeche Mode, is born...

"Enjoy The Silence"... Dave looking mean & moody in a live performance on top of the World Trade Center in 1990...

And Paul Heaton (from The Housemartins and The Beautiful South), born the same day...

The Beautiful South with a live performance of "One Last Love Song"...

Just one thing though... "There's a towel on the door for your love" - WTF?
