COME AND GET SOME - MARTIKA'S OVER BY THE KITCHEN

You have to be impressed at the ambitions of Martika, who is currently playing in a Pat Benatar style goth-rock band Oppera (terrible, terrible name) with her husband. She might be doing coffee shops at the moment, but she doesn't expect Starbucks to be her natural home:

"At some point that won't really be possible," she said. "Imagine Aerosmith at Perking Latte. We definitely are aspiring to have that type of career. To be like the really big successful bands that have the longevity to be legendary. Why do it if we're not going to shoot for the top?"

We think the key element to this might be that, yes, it's very difficult to imagine Aerosmith playing a small coffee shop. It's not so difficult to imagine Mr and Mrs Martika doing so.
