Their lucky number's 1-3

[Ray de Galles]

It seems like Aston Villa struggled to beat female New Wave pioneer Lene Lovich this afternoon. Considering she's almost 60 that has to be a creditable result for the former Stiff Records chanteuse?

I tried to demonstrate what that record sounds like to my fellow workers earlier on today as I noticed Villa were playing her.

Nearly coughed up a lung doing the 'oh, oh, oh, oh' bit...

My smug attempts to insert the lady's name into conversation about yesterday's game for comic effect came to naught as I worryingly found myself in an environment where most people didn't know who she was.

The 'Oh, Ooh, Aah, Oh!' bit I tried hit the ground pretty fucking hard.

Surprisingly for me, given the relative weight that football and "pop" music play in my life, I have seen Ms. Lovich live but not seen Litex play (even on television).

She's been knocking around as recently as 2006

She did a few gigs over here around that time and I saw her at one (second on the bill to In The Nursery at Electrowerkz). She was surprisingly good and still had an incredible vocal range. I suppose it figures that she's around 60, if Numan, Prince and Marc Almond are all 50 now. What did surprise me (although it figures, too) was that it was her daughter playing one of the instruments in her (all-female) band.

Had the game been goalless I was going to go for an '0-0,0-0' motif.

1 all. They score penalty just as my feed goes down.

Well blimey. Lene Lovich co-wrote the lyrics to Supernature.

It finishes 1 all on the night, 4-1 on aggregate. We looked pretty comfortable but if M'ON is going to persist with this second XI then he may want them to play together a bit more in the week before the game.
