Bad Cover Version is good but it wasn't the best as a single choice from We Love Life imo, I would have gone with Birds In The Garden (or Bob Lind if it didn't have 'fuck' in it) instead. You're right, and Birds was the song I had on repeat whn the album came out, but I've got a lingering affection...

I have to admit I pinched a couple of the above tracks from SoLacklustre's great compilations which he sent to me: 01 Rakes - Strasbourg 02 Graham Coxon - Gimme Some Love 03 Futureheads - Decent Days & Nights 04 Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum 05 Frank Black & Catholics - California Bound 06 Joe ...

In today's Observer Music Magazine, EC picks: That's No Reason To Cry (From 'Fire Truck Blues') Frank Sinatra I'm Tee-Ed Off With You Bing Crosby And Alice Cooper Rainy Night In Soho Rod Stewart Staying Alive The Detroit Saints Out Of Left Field (From 'Uncle Penn') Elvis Presley http://observer.guar...

I'm a new boy, but can I play?

One of the great Elvis songs about DIY: see also Why Can't A Man Sand Alone?

Thanks!

I'm desperate to get onto dimeadozen - do you know how regularly they open new accounts? I've been trying tor ages, to no avail
