Thanks to Frequenze Indipendenti for the MP3. I bought a nice Bowie lightning bolt tshirt the other day, so I’m glad to get to extend my love with this nice cover.
MP3: Au Revoir Simone - Oh You Pretty Thing
Last year Keith Murray of We Are Scientists was kind enough to contribute to Mixmas again. His theme was an unusual one — even for him: songs that he had, but couldn’t share because they wouldn’t come out until 2008. Well it’s 2008 now, baby, and here’s this cover. I will, however, let Keith do his summation of it for you. Enjoy.
This is coming out sometime in the nearish future on some K7 compilation of Bowie covers. Do I even have to go on at length about how excited I am that Au Revior Simone have recorded a Bowie song? To really encapsulate my enthusiasm, this synopsis would ideally just be an animated GIF of the Earth exploding and showering the cosmos with puppies and Skittles-brand candy pieces and slices of pizza bottles of single-malt Scotch and crap. Can somebody please put something like that together? - Keith
That compilation is available soon. Check it out
