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.
Next up from Novelle Vague: Bela Lugosi's Dead

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

I would NOT be surprised.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
However their version of Just Can't Get Enough as an Andrews Sisters a capella number? Pretty cool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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?
The drive to the club will be very Rio.
Yay!
(No, not Duran Duran. *sigh*)
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.

OK, you two are not Goths, you're 80's new-wavers (Brit edition) in elaborate disguise.

BTW, the night before I flew out to Seattle, I saw the current line-up on the Regeneration tour: Cutting Crew (better than I expected, but rather pubby), Wang Chung (who were pretty frelling awesome) and ABC (who rocked as much as the last time I saw them in the strangest Roadhouse in New Hampshire a few years ago). Sadly, Heaven 17 didn't make the tour. Helluva good show, apart from the drunken guy from Sheffield who yowled and stumbled all over ABC.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I will need the audio from these tracks once you have done all the hard work, tommy.
OK, sent to buffistarawk. The four songs, plus the interview, which is quite entertaining.
eta: Whoops, I got the mp3 tags wrong for the band name! Sorry....
