Does anyone know the story of Dale DeVere? You know, the one about how she is really Joe Jackson, and how she is credited as a back-up vocalist on his "Night & Day 2" album, but it is really just Joe...in drag? Anyone? Anyone?
Well, here's the "WEEKEND MIX" of Joe Jackson covers, featuring everyone from Frank Zappa and Gamble & Huff to XTC and Steely Dan to Graham Parker and Abba to David Bowie and John Lennon and Neil Finn. I offer you the music, can you get back to me on Dale DeVere?

Thanks Matt!!
hey sal...very nice review of dmb (i am referring to the one at altercation)...anything resembling a pan of that band's music will find a place in my heart; in the case of your review, it was a good read, as well... incidentally, i've got the brains "money changes everything" on a 45 and i've got a rezillos 45, too, though i'm not sure if it's the tune you're looking for...so, next time you visit...steven
Sal... this is the coolest blog ever! Loving it!
I LIKE it when he sounds like that. I think he also did it in the performance with Ethel and Todd Rundgren of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
If he did a whole album sounding like that, it would be DELICIOUS.
Also, doesn't he look pretty and Jewish in drag to anyone else? Is that why he doesn't have the typical thin lips of the Anglo Irish?
He is amazing - he is like the entire sack from Santa Claus - EVERYTHING.
And I love Mayor of Simpleton so please post the link to his cover of it.
