Hm,that is nice,and topical in the light of the JD film.The late lamented Spook was a big advocate of Susanna.
I find it quite funny that the Magical Orch guy is using a couple of ancient keyboards,a Rhodes and what looks like a DX7,which we were using in the early 80s and in the case of the Rhodes,long before that.

ditto.

Hardly the greatest song in the world but Nico's a fine singer and the backing was suitably chilling.
Being a fan of This Mortal Coil/The Hope Blister,its easy to see how Nico influenced their music. :)

I saw her live with her band in October, they were amazing! If you ever have the chance to see her, do!

Also, the single version and Prescilla and the live remix of Sarah are infinitely superior to the versions on the record in my opinion, and i recommend checking them out if you've already got the album.

Thanks for posting the video, I have been obsessed by this song on the radio and I never caught the name of the artist!

One of my all time favourite songs...
Oh! And that's featuring Lou Rhodes ?!! (Half of now finished “Lamb“ and now solo artist) Great!
And that Ragga you guys were talking about, was she the same Ragga who featured on Ticky's “MAXINQUAYE“?

re: Bat For lashes video.........that was Donnie Darko / The Blair Witch Project & The Sound of Music all rolled into one,wasn't it ? :wink:

That girls spoken verses are really annoying me now as it reminds me of another song / artist but I can't think what or who. :?

Rob-Yeah,actually I found another video on YouTube where Bat For lashes talk about the 'Whats a girl to do' video,and cite those kind of influences.

Elfy-You might be interested to know that Lou R is living with friends of mine here in my hometown! I met her at a party not long back.I can fix up a meeting,for a large consideration. :mrgreen:

Really? That's funny, actually she owes me a bunch of tickets from the Lamb era. I wrote them a personal letter years ago and they had promised me free tickets to replace the cancellation of their gig in Glasgow...
:D
What about her? How is she? Hasn't she turned kind of hippie New-age in the last years?

Um,I suppose slightly-she's a single Mum,and the place she lives (a big old house) is a kind of community,at least insofar as several families clubbed together to buy it and do it up as separate homes with a couple of big shared spaces.So (I'm guessing) she wanted to be in a supportive type of environment (for a single Mum),slightly off the beaten track (for a somewhat famous musician).She is a Buddhist,too,I think.Whether you think that all makes her 'New-Age hippyish' is a matter of opinion.I think she's probably trying to do the best she can.Actually her rooms/lifestyle have been chosen to appear in a couple of glossy magazine supplements,making her seem more like straight consumer nouveau-riche style icon than hippy to my mind. :wink:
I'll ask her about your tickets if I see her again soon! But I don't think Lamb exists anymore,does it?

For those of you who happen to live in the netherlands, germany, belgium or UK I want to suggest a visit to this festival, this week in Tilburg : http://www.zxzw.nl/2008/
It's the twin festival of the very famous american one and there's something special for all tastes, especially the picky ones! ;-)
