        I don't like Debbie Denise because I think the singing is poor,
and the whole song strikes me as slow, plonky and over-strained. On the
other hand, the singing is worse on `True Confessions', which I do sort of
like, but that's because the lyrics are less simple (and, to my mind,
banal).
        On the other hand, despite the fact that it's a great pop song, I
do like `Goin' Through the Motions', one of the good bits of `Spectres',
although this is still a long way from my favourite BOC album. But `The
Revenge of Vera Gemini' is way cool, best-quality macabre BOC! With this I
have no problems. On the other hand, I don't think I've actually been
listening to Motorhead enough just lately... Jazza
