Just realised I had done the Laibach cover the other day

 

[brighton terra]

Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil

 

[Barrow Boy]

Joe's version of The Box Tops hit.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Almost certainly put this up before but the original has too many cheesy synths and shrill backing vocals ... And I like REM.

Yeah, but Alex Chilton had barely finished his paper round when he recorded the original.

[Is it PotG?]

Nicked from 'Three Pines' TV show.

Makes me think Christine & The Queens should have done this.

 

[boik]

Must be time for some Christmas covers, Shirley?

 

[Norman Potting]

 

[marlowe]

Terry Hall's version of Aznavour's "She" with an absurdly brilliant video of Terry hiding in the bushes peeping out at the great man himself...

I watched Harold and Maude yesterday afternoon.

Was somewhat dismayed back in the day when Cat Stevens/Yusuf said he would help people hunt down and kill Salman Rushdie.


Anyway.


there are very few things that can't be improved with Kristin Hersh.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh my

 

[Pevenseagull]

Yep

[Icy Gull]

Yeah, but Alex Chilton had barely finished his paper round when he recorded the original.

Dull trivia, I was surprised to see the Box Tops were signed to Stax records which was more of an R’N B and Soul label

Don't Look Back in Anger anyone?

 

[PFJ]

I was really looking forward to this. Like the BSR, but disappointed with this version. Maybe needs Metallica to have a go. Still think the original is better .

Great film, and that whole KH album is superb.
