Tomorrow, we turn all obscure and possibly even foreign again, I promise.
Is it just me, or does helena christensen look incurably bored in this video? Like, “when are you going to get this freak off me” bored.

His first album, Silvertone, turned me onto Rockabilly and Roy Orbison and all of that good stuff.
Oh, well.

for starters
pick up some Deke Dickerson and the Ecco Fonics
Polecats, Stray Cats, Smiths/Moz bootlegs and early Johnny Cash
