'Touched'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Their cover of "Blister in the Sun" is jaw-droppingly awesome.
They're having so much fun! The blonde singer was even doing Christopher Walken's little cat-hands dance move.
I will need the audio from these tracks once you have done all the hard work, tommy.
I recently crashed into their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division (as the background at a very shishi restaurant, the Blue Hour) - and it was like running into a wall at high speed. I was with my family over the 4th of July weekend, and suddenly all the blood drained from my face. My sister said, concerned, "What? What's wrong?"
I pointed at the ceiling. "Is that...Joy Division, as muzak?"
My sister listened, and said, "No, it's not muzak if it has words."
Then I found the youtube of the song, and...as startling as it is to hear Sisters of Mercy's "Marian" in this mode, I *like* Nouvelle Vague. It's fascinating.

Next up from Novelle Vague: Bela Lugosi's Dead
I would NOT be surprised.

I was a little disappointed in that one because I thought they were going to go for more of a tropical voodoo I Walked With A Zombie feel.
But it's a little too close to the original in its arrangement.
However their version of Just Can't Get Enough as an Andrews Sisters a capella number? Pretty cool.
I'm digging their version of The Killing Moon.
Okay - I had to. Both albums. "A Forrest" is brilliant.
This will be our pre-show music tonight, Jilli. The drive to the club will be very Rio. (No, not Duran Duran. *sigh*)

Ohh-kaaaay?

Yay!

Oh.
Actually, I have some stuff by Novelle Vague. I think Hec gave it to me.
Oh.
Oh, all right.
There will be Duran Duran. The things I do to avoid a knife in the back. Sheesh.
