Happy Poisson D’Avril!

That's April Fish, as the French have it -- a day for pranks and chocolate.

Anyway, having a great time here in the City of Light, as expected, but in the meantime -- from the 2016 expanded reissue of our 1995 classic Fire Lane -- here's Gerry Devine and the Hi-Beams (a/k/a The Floor Models Mark II) and their obviously relevant ode to the charms of "The Foreign Girl."

Featuring some weirdo whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels on bass. Written and sung by the titular (heh) Monsieur Devine.

It kinda blows my mind, but I don't think I've ever actually posted that before. Pretty cool song though, n'est-ce pas?

Coming tomorrow: an actual dispatch from our current journey on the Continent. Hopefully involving a Gallic record store. 😎

We miss The Hi-Beams. You, not so much.

PS: Also note I didn’t go groveling for more comments on yesterday’s column. I took the almost near silence like a man. (Alright like a captain!).
