Perhaps you're thinking I'm posting this because I'm superficial and I've got a thing for this cover. You're right on both of those. You may also think this gets upped because it comes Morrissey approved and I not so secretly want to cut my hair like his. Right once more. But aside from all those other reasons, this is just some fucking great pop. Ne Me Quite Pas has always been one of my favorite songs since high school French class, and her version will never top Brel (check out that weird clip of him on youtube where it looks like he's crying as he sings), but it's still worth owning. Don't worry Sandie, I'll always love you.Update: I guess that makes it 500 posts so far. Who'd thought this would've lasted over 100?

I love Sandie Shaw. I've got a record of her doing a bunch of covers (called "Reviewing the Situation", I think) that is pretty cool. Not my favorite of her albums, but worth a listen if for nothing else than to hear her sing songs like "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Your Time Is Gonna Come."
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I like that one. Kinda kitschy but definitely fun.
ReplyDeleteI am very thankful for this blog......
ReplyDeleteThanks Troy. It's kind words like that that make me less likely to stab someone.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered the blog tonight, and its great. Your tribute to Kenneth Anger is much loved here on the other side of the screen. Thanks for posting the music.
