Kathleen Edwards - For The Record (Cologne,2012)

Merlin Mann, on this song:

...it’s amazing, and it’s just completely haunting, and hey here’s Kathleen making some serious magic playing it live in 2012.
Jesus Christ, what a terrific song.

It's nearly 18 months since Voyageur was released. Still regularly played. Still magnificent.​

After 18 months I allow evaluation for entry into my top 10 albums of all time. Because, you know, you have to have a list. One that you think other people are interested in but really they don't give a toss. But you still have to have it.

Voyageur is going to make it, but what will it replace? That's the real excitement. Like a relegation battle.​

As you were.​

How we made: Heart of Glass | Music | The Guardian

Deborah Harry:​

Then, in 1978, we got this producer, Mike Chapman, who asked us to play all the songs we had. At the end, he said: "Have you got anything else?" We sheepishly said: "Well, there is this old one." He liked it – he thought it was very pretty and started to pull it into focus. The boys in the band had got their hands on a new toy: this little Roland drum machine. One day, we were fiddling around with it and Chapman said: "That's a great sound." So we used it.

 

If you listen to the early versions of Once I Had A Love aka The Disco Song it's quite a transformation.​

I love how bands have classic songs on their hands by accident.​

Lazyitis - Super Morrissey Bros

So this is a cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths done in the style of Super Mario Bros.. I'm planning on doing a video as soon as I can figure out how to work with Flash. The sound effects are only there to help the listener visualize the "game".
