In recent weeks, in response to what has been posted on T(n)VV, a number of readers have made suggestions about tracking down some songs. Here’s what I mean:-
“Heard CHVRCHES version of Bela Lugosi?” : from London Lee on 5 February
“On the other hand, Lightspeed Champion has made some pretty good records. I loved ‘Madame Van Damme’.” : from The Robster on 31 January
“Last year, Kylie sang vocals on a track called ‘Whistle’ by Icelandic electronica meisters Múm. It’s probably my favourite thing she’s ever done, even topping that Nick Cave duet and her Dr Who appearance. I very strongly urge you to check it out.” : from The Robster on 29 January
“The Flaming Lips have a pretty good version of I Can’t Get You Out of My Head” : from Brian on 29 January
“Frank Sidebottom did a tremendous Kylie tribute track which is worth tracking down” : from Charity Chic on 29 January
So as The Chemical Brothers once chanted on a hit single of theirs……HERE WE GO!!!!!
mp3 : CHVRCHES – Bela Lugosi’s Dead
mp3 : Lightspeed Champion – Madame Van Damme
mp3 : Mum – Whistle
mp3 : Flaming Lips – I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
mp3 : Frank Sidebottom – I Should Be So Lucky
PS : Happy Birthday to my young bro Stevie over there in Florida. That’s him 48…..
A pedant writes: The vocal sample “Hey girls, B-boys, superstar DJs, here we go!” was taken from “The Roof is on Fire” by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three.
acidted…..you’re not a pedant…..just a very knowledgeable young man!
Weird that Stevie shares his birthday with my sister. Decent wee selection of tunes also.
The very fact that Frank Sidebottom rhymes Tizer with synthesizer surely makes him one of the world’s greatest lyrical geniuses, like, ever! Sorely missed.
What can I say JC – we are not worthy!
