Fashion. Turning Left.

Because nothing says what vain, dishonest, soulless, repetitive, parasitic, empty, futile, destructive, greedy, wasteful, deceitful and hollow industries the fashion and advertising ones are, quite like a fashion advert from 25 years ago.

No really Steve please tell us what you really think of the fashion and advertising industries!

Ha! Well said.

On a completely different note. By way of saying thanks for all the great music and writing – and the ranting ant link, no less… I just ripped my 12” Flesh For Lulu/ Cat Burglar extended version. Would you be interested? I can post it on Rapid Share and leave the link, if you don’t have.

Cheers,

Mug

@ Jonkarra - I ran out of synonyms.

@ alantru - Mug-new identity? And yes please for the Flesh For Lulu rip! And is 'Sick Days' yours? 'cause it's pretty fucking funny.

Highlander said...

@ alantru/mug - can you tell I'm confused?

Daniel Hoffmann-Gill said...

Cool.

I'd date the hippy rather than the chicks with the fucked up slacks.

If I swung that way that is.

Hey Highlander,

Yes, the Sick Days is mine. Thanks! And sorry for any confusion. I also have a hand in this one. http://crabbyoldfart.wordpress.com/ What the hell. It’s good for a lark.

Okay, here’s the Flesh for Lulu. Your Alien Sex Fiend post inspired me to add a few more of my recent rips into the mix. So it’s a bit of a variety and a mish mash of music styles. Hope you enjoy. Happy to share some other stuff along the way. Least I can do in terms of payback for all you’ve done here.

Cheers mug. Downloaded but yet to be imported to MediaMonkey. Has Alan Truitt retired?

alantru said...

My pleasure, Highlander.

Yes, for the time being Alan is retired. The crabby old fart, Don Mills, lives on -- for now.

By the way, if you have any requests let me know. I've got about thousand LPs and a few hundred 45s from the late 70's -- 80's. If I've got it, I'm happy to share.
