I'm not a Huey basher, but I always thought this was too Elvis Costello derived.

[Working for a Living, and yes, I know Clover was Elvis' backup band on his first album]

Indeed it was, and that was de rigeur in '82, even if you weren't strictly speaking a "new wave" band.  In this case it balanced the candy-coated Styx impression that was "Do You Believe in Love".

So, have I missed Missing Persons on "Hit My Shit One More Time"? Last time I saw Dale Bozi was on one of those VH1 "What The Fuck?" shows. She was a soccer mom in NJ. Kinda heftier- but she still had that crazy hair! Awesome.

Although I always have trouble wondering if there's a connection in the name to the Music Machine hit of the 60's, I kinda like them.  Nice drum sound.

she/they will be on this week.  Talk Talk should be on their wish list, too, no?

DYBIL was also an ELO impression; I'm surprised Huey wasn't sued for lifting the arrangement of the verses from "Sweet Talkin' Woman."  Totally similar head.

Katrina 100.

So, was Haircut 100 one of the band names from Clockwork Orange, like Heaven 17 was?

So, Haircut 100 wasn't the name of one of the Clockwork Orange bands. But, I found this page....

http://www.geocities.com/malcolmtribute/aco/acotop10.html

that lists the bands that are on a "Top 10" poster in the background. Cool.

too coincidental.  I get these emails from an old friend now and then with spectacular web pages of exotic visits they have made, and lo and behold, pictures from the Marquesas:

Yes, they're just vacation pictures, but I do recommend checking them out.  The whole bunch is here, and includes some nice desktop pix:

a fine fine band.  Known as The Beat in the UK, they added "English" here because there was already a new wave band called The Beat. And whatever became of them?

No, I meant whatever beame of that American band called The Beat (apparently they or their record company had threatened the English Beat with legal action). I think they split after one LP.

The Charlatans UK I imagine outlived tha original Charlatans, Grateful Dead had to change their name from The Warlocks.  There's probably a pretty long list of bands how had to change their names who outlasted the originals.

Not quite. They were also known as Paul Collins' Beat, started here in SF but moved to LA, and put out two albums and an EP but never quite caught on, here or elsewhere. Their AMG bio makes ref to their forcing the other Beat to declare their nationality, but also calls their albums "power pop classics."

P.S.  Not apropos of this topic, but Bob Christgau reviews the new biography on Sylvester in this week's Village Voice.  Xgau's summary is interesting but I think I'll skip the book: it's 300 pages, and no one needs that much Sylvester.  (Except, perhaps, for the choir member who deflowered Syl when the kid was 8.)
