Weird October - - - The Lion Does NOT Sleep Tonite

After I'd worked out all September Dub posts, I was listening to much other, non-Dub musick. I delved deeply into such divergent musick as Sexwitch, Nasmak, Vox Populi & The PeΔrls to name but a few. 

If September felt like Dub month, October always seems like Weird month to me. After all, the weather drastically changes by its end it culminates in summer's true end or Samhain. 

All Hallows Eve. 

Halloween. 

So here's the one I want to start off October with...Strawberry Deutsche Mark.

I was listening to Whatever Happens Next... by Swell Maps the other night. It made me think about Epic Soundtrack & Nikki Sudden & particularly Jowe Head. I listened to Jowe's Strawberry Birthmarks but it didn't quite hit the (birth)mark that I was aiming to soothe. 

I needed a dose of Strawberry Deutsche Mark. 

''Coldfinger'' is a rave-up! 

I thought rather than search for hours through my labyrinthian filing stashing system heaps, I'd just grab a copy from the interweb...you know, make it easy on myself. Well, low & behold, I couldn't find it anywhere & so I decided I knew the remedy for that. So after only having to look three places...the obvious file: # - K (no luck)...Working from Here Now 1.0 (ditto)... & finally Working from Here Now 2.0. Voila...I give you... 

 

Jowe Head - Strawberry Deutsche Mark, Constrictor CON!00001, 1986.
