Feist - Lover’s Spit




again I think that my dear old friend Stephen Anthony Richard Blackman introduced me to Feist early on . . . .and so I followed then and this cover by Broken Social Scene cropped up in my searches

MM in Korea 1954


In 1954 Marlyn stopped off via detour from her honeymoon to entertain the troops in Korea.
Bob Hope started such a things to entertain the boys back four years earlier with a review and stayed for a three hour set before being flown off

MM stayed for 4 days and performed ten times in just a flimsy purple cocktail dress not having brought any costumes and was freezing (it was February!) and still stood in the rain to entertain! Hence the pictures of her wrapped  in army fatigues to warm her up. Wonder what Joe [Di Maggio) thought about such a break to his honeymoon!?

Keith Richards playing a Harmony Meteor H70 model guitar at De Lane Lea Studios in London, England.

where the band recorded their second single “I Wanna Be Your Man” on October 7, 1963


Visitors may have noted I once collected Harmony guitars and still have an H162 (the poor man’s Martin!?) which is my pride and joy and eminently payable that I bought years ago now from America when I had a notion you could still buy them cheap (ish) from the States and people often found they had a model in the loft or attic and as the first real Sears & Robuck style catalogue purchase they must have made millions but being that The USA had no shortage of fine woods they were really well built and consequently had/ have a resounding tone and are relatively robust. The electric models still show up in some folks’ collection and early starter model guitars and here Keith was no exception.

draftervoi digitised 2014 (and finished it July 4, 2026)

"This version combines two lossy tracks (the first two songs, "Caribbean Sunset" and "Guts") with a flac file digitized from a cassette tape recorded by Hans Devente.  His copy cuts in to "Guts" about halfway through the song.  There's a version of this on Archive.org that has the first two songs but is missing the last two songs ("Fear Is A Man's Best Friend" and "I Keep A Close Watch.") 

I'm wary of combining different sources, but the sources blended together well-enough that I think this is an improvement over the two incomplete recordings.  Yes, the first two songs are from a lossy source, but they sound fine."


John Cale seems to love playing The Netherlands, I wonder why?
