From the Desk of Spin Turlock, Sports Editor:
Here's a bit of freelance PR I did recently. I only do this for people I like, and I like fewer people these days. It turned up immediately on this blog, which I quite enjoy, btw: young Tim used to write for Now Weekly & used to get the hackles of readers up on a regular basis ..always a good thing, right?
What does this mean for Simply Saucer, now that Foster (and apparently drummer Joe Csontos,too, although this is "unconfirmed" at this point)is out?
Well, the two Original Members, (i.e. the guys who were responsible for Cyborgs) Edgar Breau & Kevin Christoff have quorum dibs on the name usage. Breau is pushing his new solo album, Patches of Blue, which is getting all sorts of virtual ink all over the blogosphere. Noted hep cat, Gary Topp compared parts of it to Caravan. The five other people who understood that last reference will be sussed, but for the rest of us, here's yer actual nibs:
I suspect Saucer will be put in mothballs, while Ed & KC promo the solo disc, & Dan updates the website. In the meantime, watch out for Sunnhouse, (or is that Sunnhaus..I can't tell: the cocktail napkin has stains on it) . Note to all, though: this is a LEGIT group and it features 3/5ths of the Saucer Half Human, Ha;f Live line-up, inc. the aforementioned Messrs Foster & Csontos. An album, tentatively titled either "Die Kinder sind überrascht" or "Teutonic Neurotic", . There's also talk of Foster joining those super-duper groups The Kewpies or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Doak. Again, these reports are unconfirmed.
And what better way to occupy copy space than to post an embedded video? Right Harv?

WWW of Spin Turlock #3: "Paddy Greene's" ...the new single from the Kewpies...just in time for Christmas!

By way of explanation: Paddy Greenes was the licenced establishment located directly opposite of Westdale Secondary School in Hamilton, ON., Canada. As such, it was the preferred watering hole for the young members of Teenage Head, the Teenage News editorial staff, and various other miscreants and rounders. It was torn down in the mid-80s , in the name of progress, to make way for a mini-mall. For more information on Paddy Greene's, go here
. This is our humble tribute to that dearly departed establishment. The more musically astute among you may pick out the references to the British "beat" groups, 999, The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols, Kevin Coyne, & The Beatles. To which we respond: "lesser men borrow, great men steal" May this be the second-best five minutes spent in your respective lives.
War Is Over & Over & Over if you want it. Listen to the song here
