What are you playing tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls (her version of Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes is the the best re-take by someone of another persons song that I've ever heard).

Now listening to Pink Floyd - The Wall (Which ironically contains the finest song ever to be ruined by someone's re-take).

[cowdrill]

It's raining hard, the wind is threatening to blow the roof off... So got a bit of Nouvelle Vague on for some Bossa Nova sunshine in my sad little life.

Have now permanently tuned my radio to Planet Rock (digital)

They played Mother from 'The Wall' on Sunday. Apart from Tony Iommi's stories, it's a great listen.

btw I completely agree that the Scissor Sisters have murdered Comfortably Numb and have said so in another post (possibly earlier in this one)

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Mood was sagging in the office so I've just cranked up Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert – one of those songs, like Sir Duke, which makes sadness seem impossible - followed by Easy Lover by Collins & Bailey (on request from a younger staff member who didn't have to endure it back in the day)

You were telling me off Enfield, iirc, I said I wanted it as my theme tune. I didn't even know that it was a cover version I like it though

That's understandable if you've never heard the original. What grates is knowing what a complete misrepresentation of the emotion and language in the lyric this remake represents.

I think I also said I like the rest of the Scissor Sisters album, but skip this track when it comes on. It is abhorrent to me.

If anyone who knows Gertie has 'The Wall', please sit her down with a nice big glass of Lambrini (or whatever) and play this masterpiece to her just once.

Gee Gertie, Herb Alpert? You'll be claiming you remember Ray Coniff next, or even "Manuel and his music of the mountains"

Well I await my lesson in the real version with interest. I imagine that it may be Brucie who teaches me. I do have Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here on CD does that give me any benefit of the doubt in my poor choice of songs.

Brucie, if you are listening, can it be Pinot Grigio and not Lambrini.. ta..

[Little Green Man]

Jeezus! It bugs me all the more when some talentless nice person such as your man here just takes the song, adds the bits that he's nicked off Paul Hardcastle, holds down two keys on a polyphonic synth, lumps it together and then puts it out as 'his own work' and actually claims to be an artist.
An absolutely pointless pile o' shite.
