'The Message'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Heh. Marianne's story has many lesbian liaisons to contemplate. She had a particular thing for women in the Audrey Hepburn mode. Fine boned, short dark hair, stylish and hip and a little androgynous.

To which I say, "Hell yeah!"

Well, duh! She had good taste in women.

Yeah, I gotta figure Julie had her fair share of fun in the sixties.

The one who intrigues that I've heard had a lot of fun back in the day was Grace Kelly. Oooh. Happy place again.

And I'd also like to be Roberto Rossellini at the right place and time.

Oh jeez, I didn't even go Euro in my swinging sixties.

Marcello Mastrioni!

Alain Delon!

Jean Paul Belmondo!

I was thinking more of his most famous inamorata, but yeah. Anything that increases the chances of a close encounter with Bridget Bardot's backside back in the day is a good thing.

When I have children, I want ye to raise them.

Can anyone recommend me poppy records with lots and lots of man/woman dual vocals? Or multiple vocals? Or whatever the words I should be using to articulate what I mean?

Somewhere between the Swimming Pool Qs and The Mamas and The Papas.

Do you want more duets (trading vocals) or more male/female harmonies?

X has excellent tradeoff vocals.

Lee Hazelwood / Nancy Sinatra
Serge Gainsbourg / Nancy Birkin

Male and female harmonies....Hmmm. The Miracles. Uh...Spanky and our Gang.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I love love love male/female vocals together. It's one of my favorite musical things.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Non-Spring, if you're thinking of '70s pop with a soulful bent, there's Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. Members of the 5th Dimension (who were originally marketed as the black Mamas and Papas, though their later work doesn't really have the male-female interplay) who went on as a duo after the group broke up.
