Neo-glam musican/artist/dandy and wowlebrity Merlin Dietrich premiered the fabulous stop-frame animation video for his single “Silver Samovar” in October. And nearly three months later I’m STILL SINGING IT. Merlin, of course, was in the early ’80s British New Wave band Mystery Girls (“Wearing women’s make-up with men’s clothing that was glammed up to the point of surreality, the band released a single, ‘Ash In Drag,’ with A&M Records” – IMDB) and is an author of some renown (he wrote The Man Who Knew Too Little which was made into the 1997 movie starring Bill Murray). Now Merlin is a part of our WOWPresents multi-channel network and definitely someone worth watching.
Check out “Silver Samovar” below. It’s a catchy little ditty, and I guarantee you will be singing “When I’m beat/I retreat/to St Petersberg” for the rest of the day.
