To drown a rose in tempi di anonimato in rete, esterofilia e manifesti programmatici, questo archivio resta un inventario di cose lette sentite viste pensate che attira insperato traffico da google su argomenti balzani, e che ogni tanto, in modo un po’ horror, tende a rianimarsi.

OMG! I had a Strawberry Switchblade poster on my wall when I was about 8, think it was the same image on their album. Wow. I felt so grown up with that poster.
well, the Glaswegian Witches they were called (weren’t those polka dots something?)
now i’d really, really like to find a copy of the original album…
I can’t remember fully, I was only about 7 at the time!
… and I feel so old (but, hey, they’re even older now 🙂
here’s rose mcdowall’s site.
una mia amica ce l’ha, in vinile dell’epoca (ha anche passato una serata londinese con Rose e altra gente del giro, secoli fa). le posso chiedere se vuole disfarsene.
saresti ben gentile (e nel caso probabile che lei NON voglia disfarsene, comunque salutamela!)
ps – ehm, gente del giro p-orridge? pensare che nel primo singolo delle S.S. suonava roddy frame.
no, gente del giro creation. all’epoca (87-88)rose stava con qualcuno di questi, forse peter astor. comunque la mia amica ha un blog, http://ilfantasticomondodiophel.splinder.com, se vuoi puoi chiedrglielo anche tu.
aggiornamento: con l’aiuto di lorenzo e del fato, grazie al quale mi sono trovata ad avere un agente a roma al momento giusto, sono lietamente entrata in possesso del vinile in oggetto (stampa tedesca, ma io non sono una purista – anzi, l’etichetta korova con la mucca mi piace molto).
