@soorajsoman The Tuxedomoon one is the original ;-) I think I prefer the NV version, but only by a smidgeon, which is saying something from a NVAS member! @dutchbeeblebrox I think I might have to jam them myself soon, we don't get enough offerings from the others... :)
Aaah, Tuxedomoon! I have an old dog-eared vinyl LP from way back by them ("Desire")
....And also, I nominate "smidgeon" as the TIMJ word of the day, which is some honour!
@decarter Ha ha, with all the erudite people on TIMJ (notably @Bukowski) that IS some honour :-)
I'm surprised I haven't heard of them before. I was only 10 when this song came out, so I was slightly too young to be into them at the time, but my ex was 10 years older than me and introduced me to lots of music I had 'missed' but Tuxedomoon wasn't on the list :) Will have to check that album out...

Lovely song! Think the original NV one resonates more but thats a pretty good cover...Thanks sister of Ben ;-)
dutchbeeblebrox
As for Nouvelle Vague, I see that you're on the NVAS paging list so others do the jamming for you... :)
BladeRunner

Bukowski
@melissapulo Erudite? Moi? I had to look it up.
melissapulo
@Bukowski Ha, well you've certainly given me that impression in the past, unless you get someone else in to comment for you ;-)
Bukowski
@melissapulo I have an old Victorian glove puppet which does most of it for me.
melissapulo
@Bukowski Ah, that explains it. Pass on my compliment to them then...:-)
Bukowski
@melissapulo I only have one. More than that would confuse the erudition. Too many voices.
Bukowski
@melissapulo Flippin heck! I've just read that back and it makes me sound like a very creepy, stalky, lunatic. I'm not, honest.
melissapulo
@Bukowski But you're an erudite lunatic, so that's not as bad... :)
Bukowski
@melissapulo Ooo, 'erudite lunatic'; I like that. Thank you. Might do as a T-shirt.
