Is it really any wonder that all us adolescents fell for Siouxsie Sioux when she had been photographed ‘dressed’ like she is above
The finest moment in any of her records comes, and I use the word advisedly, at the 4:55 mark on the 12″ version of this marvellous single from 1982:-
mp3 : Siouxsie & The Banshees – Slowdive (12″ version)
A mate of mine once took that one second gasp and recorded it back to back something like 30 times in a row just so that he could imagine the punk/goth goddess was having an orgasm.
Twenty three years later, a very intriguing version of it, originally recorded for a radio session, was snuck out on a b-side:-
mp3 : LCD Soundsystem – Slowdive
As far as I know, the band Slowdive never made a cover of the song albeit they did record a song by that name as their first ever single back in 1990:-
mp3 : Slowdive – Slowdive
Enjoy
