now they're hunting around

Looking for love in all the wrong places? Perhaps this will help:

(Click to find what you are truly looking for.)

If you can't trust Debbi's Dates #2 (June-July 1969) for help with your love life, who can you trust?

The Bay City Rollers - That's Where the Boys Are (from Ricochet, 1981) - In which the the unbridled euphoria of "Saturday Night" gives way to a whopping Sunday morning hangover.

Karen Kamon - Manhunt (from the Flashdance OST, 1983) - A bit of Benatardian (or Blondiesque?) pop rock fluff with a vaguely empowering gender role reversal message. I would not, under any circumstances, suggest that one take dating advice from the Manhunt videogame, as most people do not respond well to woo pitched via a rusty knife stealthily inserted between their ribs.

The Revillos - Where's the Boy for Me? (from a 1979 single; collected on the reissue of Rev Up, 1980) - What difference does swapping a single consonant make? Not much, in the case of The Rezillos/Revillos, apart from some minor line-up changes and a slightly poppier tenor to the band's retro sound.

Actually, that's almost exactly the advice I give to my guy friends who want to meet a nice woman. Volunteer!! 80% of all volunteer organisation staffs are female, & all of them are going to be interested in a guy who cares enough to get off the couch & chip in.
