Video Chase
I got into a YouTube tag game with P. Dub last night. Here's part of the trail:
Mention Kirsty MacColl and everyone remembes her duet with the Pogues, and of course "There's a guy works down the chip-shop". But I remember something else, from a compilation tape I bought in Sweden years ago, which started off with The Boomtown Rats' "Someone's Looking at You", and also had this:
That started a chain of Irish Folk/Country, which I felt compelled to break, and got back to girl singers with the very cunningly-titled "Rapture":
My oppo in the game was edging back to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Wandering around the edge of the Australian connection, I found that the Prodigy had done a mash of Kylie Minogue, "Slow my bitch up":
You've got to admire them.
I ended up with the last girl singer, who I only discovered last year, on the "Ear Farm" mp3 blog you'll find in my sidebar links. Pea hated her, but I just love the drawling style:
She reminds me of someone, amd I'm still waiting for the synapses to click through to a path. Anyone out there like to try jogging my memory?

Thank God for that sentence! For a minute there I thought I was going to lose what small amount of musical credibility I ever possessed. ;)
You should have said you had music cred, I wouldn't have mucked about so much. Gomen Nasai, P-san.
I don't really. It's just an obviously convincing act I occasionally engage in to get into music festivals without paying.
Hoorah for the stupids.
