Siouxsie Sioux and C V Jørgensen and Surf A La Mode

Surf A La Mode (The Current Taste), a lovely song from late seventies... which weirdly enough apparently is about vagriacies and shifting fortunes of pop music (If you include Siouxsie and the Banshees in pop music...). Enjoy the guitar solo in the middle.




I think CV himself has fallen prey to the fickle public's tastes, since this was put up over a month ago, and has been listened to four times, three of them were me and perhaps the first one was CV testing his new channel.
But it seems serendipitous that I been on the web for twenty years, but I never look up this old favorite until now, just after it's been posted. So maybe he'll come back.

Except for this song and its sound, I can't claim to be a big fan. Good music, but he always seem to sing in a sarcastic tone about unlikeable things, including a song about that very very rare thing, a Danish serial bomber who targeted phone boxes.

And it did, then, introduce me to Siouxsie Sioux, which I still think is someone one should know if one is interested in avant garde rock music of the last half century.
