ventaIt's Friday, it's about 3 o'clock. It's time to go underneath the covers (with the lights out).
I always recommend listening to a cover version without knowing what or who it is, so click on the link before reading ahead...
Today's cover version [link expired]
That was Nouvelle Vague covering Love Will Tear Us Apart, originally by Joy Division.
Well, I claimed in my Glastonbury write-up that Nouvelle's Vague's covers weren't a bad thing. Time to decide :)
With two albums to go at, choosing a song was tricky. Their stand-out track from this year's Glastonbury set was God Save the Queen, which was a special effort "for you, England" and I don't have a recorded copy. Oh, wait, youtube does, though.
I had feared that Nouvelle Vague were a one-disc joke that would never extend past a year or so. I'm surprised and slightly delighted to find that they're still going strong and still put on a fabulous live show.
Either album is worth a punt, in my opinion.
