End of this month it will be released; Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited, a mostly English-language tribute to Serge, with contributions by Franz Ferdinand (en duo with Jane Birkin!), Michael Stipe, the unlikely team-up of Marianne Faithfull and riddem-tandem Sly & Robbie, and The Kills. Ofcourse, I've ordered it already. Thanks to Florian, here's a preview, Cat Power and Karen Elson (pictured) en duo.
(due to popularity of this post, I've changed the publ.date so it moved back up on the front page)
No, but I came close ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenooh, merci! was just wishing to hear this. i'm really impressed - for me, the best cover i've heard. have you gone mad yet from all these versions?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthat's odd - the comments are in different order.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenack! weird... what's going on?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooks like a fun project!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJust listened to it - one of the best versions of heard of Je t'aime!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenChan Marshall (Cat Power)just cracked up agin apparently and cancelled her current tour....
Too bad becaus e her latest, the Greatest, is really quite nice.
It would be interesting to hear her cover French material - haha, maybe Juilet Greco...
Guuz,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHope you don't mind - I referenced your site and this track and gave you kudos on my latest entry.
Thank you so much for your wonderful work!!!
I feel like the concept of this version is: "We are so distracted by all the sex-having that we're a little out of tune." Thanks for posting it, though.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd still no "je vais et je viens entre tes reins" (I come and I go, between you kidneys)!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMake 'kidneys' rhyme in this song, I dare ya.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo many lovely tracks on this blog, but the server has exceeded its bandwith! Downloads are not allowed. . . but I'll be back.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI know - we're working on it. Might take some time...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm so glad I stumbled across this. Wow.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhen I heard that Karen was singing with NYC-based performance troupe Citizen's Band, I think I rolled my eyes and thought, "Oh great, another model-singer-actress. Yawn!" But then I heard her version of "Candy Says" and it was stunning. Better even (dare I say it?) than Antony Hegarty's version. Now I keep a close eye for anything else she's involved in!
Oh i really want that cd!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBut I can't listen to catpowers single. Can you please put it back online or so?
