DIANE BIRCH WITH THE PHENOMENAL HANDCLAP BAND, The Velveteen Age (S-Curve): (4 stars out of 5)
Birch and PHB imaginatively revive seven goth/new wave oldies, transforming Sisters of Mercy’s “This Corrosion” into an infectious sing-along and Echo & the Bunnymen’s “Bring on the Dancing Horses” into a damn-near sunny anthem of affirmation. Stripping Joy...

New take on Diane's "Rewind" from Bible Belt
From Dani’s blog, dancingfractals, Candle-lit Roses, Waltzing Snowflakes and Halley’s Fifth
A few things on the mind of Dani. 1) Isn’t it weird to think that the song Rewind (as in the Diane Birch single from this last year) won’t make sense to a large percentage of America’s youth and in ten years nobody in high school/college aged will know what it means? Think...

私の思春期のアイドルは、麻丘めぐみ、トレシー・ハイド、オリビア・ハッセーの ３人で、この３人は、当時、他をまったく寄せ付けず、私の不動の３大アイドルでありました。 で、この３人に共通していることは、そう、サラサラのロング・ヘアーに、つ・ぶ・ら・な瞳であります。 この２大条件は、基本的に今も変わっていないようで・・街でそんな女性にすれ違うと、つい、目がその人を追ってしまうのであります。 そういう訳で、“ダイアン・バーチ”を知ったとき、久々に胸がキュン！と痛みました。 どうでしょう、このつぶらな瞳と清潔感漂う容姿は！ ３０年前でしたら、私の３大アイドルのうちの誰かが、その地位を脱落していたのは・・間違いありません！ ...
