Lisa edges Aretha out of its sleeve. Chooses a track. Sings along to the chorus. R. E. S. P. E. C. T.
Colin picks Elvis. Then Hendrix.
Lisa remembers an Animals 7-inch EP. I’m Cryin’, Hear me Cryin’. Then Dusty. Scattered across the floor are picture disks, 12-inch disco singles. Even a couple of old 78s.
Colin spins The Kinks, The Beatles, The B52s. He starts a mental list of his favourite ‘The’ bands.
Lisa puts on Blondie, ‘In the Flesh’, while she undresses.
Three houses up the street, Colin’s got Leadbelly on. Irene Goodnight.
