Susanna Hoffs Babesplains Non-Fungible Tokens! Dept.


You'll know Steamy Suze from top girlie group The Au Go Go's, whose chart-topping hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun topped the charts back in ?research pse. [fuck you - Ed.] but did you know she is a respected fiduciary consultant? Turns out the diminutive doe-eyed diva [kill me now - Ed.] is quite the investment broker! 

In this, the first in a series of "Susanna Hoffs Babesplains" FoamFeatures®, Sultry Susie gets to grips with Non-Fungible Tokens, which is, like, money for guys what are both rich and dumb. We spoke yestiddy while she prepared for an important Wall St. meeting. Or sleepover.

FT3 Hey Suuze!

SH What am I, a Mexican bus-boy?

FT3 Nice pair of lamps!

SH You're not lighting them up, let me put it that way.

FT3 (laughs) Ha ha! So, you're going to babesplain Non-Fungible Tokens for us while you, uh, fix your hair? You little minx you?

SH Well, okay. The concept of fungibility refers to the ability for an asset to be exchanged equivalently with another asset of like kind. In contrast to fungible assets, non-fungible assets are valued differently based on their unique attri ... bzzzrrrrrrttttttt ...

--- signal lost ---

FT3 Susie? Sweetpants? (rattles old-type receiver cradle) Hello? Operator? Oh darn. Let's give some spindle time to Schunge while we appreciate La Hoffs' eminently fungible assets.

The Schunge story was told in a recent issue of Shindig magazine, should youse bums be desirous. Basically a couple singer-songwriter-type guys whose album was in a sense taken away from them to be arranged and played by Mike Westbrook and his jazz-adjacent pals. It's as obscure as you can get without an internet. You don't care because you didn't read this far, Cousin Dupree.

    I ain't heard this yet. It's been hiding on a hard drive avoiding me. It's probably okay, not shit.

    To qualify for ticket to Obscurestock, name one thing beginning with B in pitcher! Leave us see how many things beginning with B we can find! Just one thing! Beginning with B! Don't make list! One thing!

      But where's the Westbrook connection? Ah, finally read the review - Mike Gibbs. Not quite chalk n cheese. There's a mailing list where you can download issues of Shindig. I don't normally, they must be struggling, but Farq pushed me off the straight n narrow.

    Oh I got confused, it's not the Susanna Hoffs picture were supposed to be studying carefully for things beginning with B. I've been studying the Susanna Hoffs picture very hard for ages, and my eyesight is getting bluuury, and I feel lightheaded. Can't look at the other picture now, need a liedown.

      No, no - it is the Susanna Hoffs pitcher we is supposed to be looking at. Only three things beginning with B left, and we can leave this whole sorry mess behind us.

    A Bangle.

    I've listened to this platter elsewhere but I'm not enamoured with the bloke's voice, which is a shame. Very intrigued by Chris Spedding's involvement tho' . . . now there's a bloke with both talent and image that he didn't quite know how to use to best effect.

      It's always tough for a guitarist who isn't a good singer to make it as a solo act. On the other hand, he's made a very steady living indeed as a session and live band player.
      Here's a quite staggering "sessiongraphy" from his web page.

      Spedding has had plenty of work, maybe he prefers to be in the background. Last I saw of him, he was the guitarist in the recent band playing the Jeff Waynes' War of The Worlds tour.

    Babe. Blowing my mind.

    One 'Michael Gibbs' was often credited with supplying music for 'The Goodies' in collaboration with Bill Oddie, and I often wondered if it was Mr Westbrook's Rhodesian-born alter-ego.
