[mod.music.gaffa] Another recommendation

Yum.  Another wonderful record that I can't get off my turntable
for too long, or out of my head.  It's a single this time, called
"Wonderful Life" by Black.  Import on Ugly Man Records (U.K.).
Every time I play it, I feel squishy and swoony inside because
this thing just DRIPS romance.  That's romance as in, say, late-
period Roxy Music, not the ersatz luv songs of Lionel Richie.
Let y'self go.  One seldom encounters such beauty.  "No need to
run and hide/It's a wonderful, wonderful life."  And it doesn't
hurt that "It's a Wonderful Life" is my favorite movie ever, I
suppose.  But that's off the subject.

I also picked up the funkbusiness-as-usual new 12" from ACR (nee
A Certain Ratio), and the new Cocteau Twins...another dreamy
pleasure that shouldn't disappoint anybody.  Worth playing and
playing.  New The The, too, but I haven't listened enough to pass
judgment.

Too many records, too little money, too little time.  Ah well.

Incurably romantic,
