I don’t really have much time to come up with historical perspective or witty interpretations, but I found you a record -- the debut from Manchester’s Chameleons -- with lots of DJ commentary, which will hopefully keep things interesting. It doesn’t save me any time, but it does save me brain space, which is lacking lately.

Ya-ga!” “Zzzzzz” “I think I’m losing my audience...” “Actually, I don’t think this is the same Chameleons after all. In fact, I’m sure of it. Those Chameleons were Lori’s pals, these Chameleons are from God-knows-where... |
