I know. Hard to believe. But it's true.

I was lucky enough to be playing in such a club when this one came out. While not a huge hit for me, it didn't clear the floor, and it made me smile. Hard to believe now, what I was able to get away with.

I'm saddened to hear of Kirsty's passing.

I hope that the music up there is better than it is down here…

What's even worse is I have a copy of "Desperate Character" sitting right over there on vinyl. You're right, of course.

And I love, love, love "Autumngirlsoup." Nearly wrote it up for Mope Like Me, as a matter of fact. Thanks for the remixes. God, I miss Kirsty.

I think you've overlooked her 1981 debut, "Desperate Character", recorded during her pub-rock phase. It being a Kristy MacColl album, it's a little gem, and it's highly recommended to fans of, say, Rockpile. (And to fans of Kristy, of course.) Great song, great artist, great post.
