And The Winner Is...

"Always On My Mind" by the Pet Shop Boys. Well done Neil and Chris.

Commiserations to Jarvis, and to rub salt into the wound here is a link to the worst record ever.

(However the existence of this does prove that Pulp = Pop, so it's not all bad news.)

Just the thought of that record was enough for me. No need to actually d/l it.

It's the exact equivalent of Onion articles where the entire joke is in the headline.

It does indeed sound precisely how you know it's going to sound...

...and yet strangely worse too.

its even funnier how you didn't do an mp3 lock on this.

I think it's the fact that it's a whole minute longer. And that he appears to be aping the way Jarvis sings as well. "the fountain down the ro-hoad"

I actually only got as far as the first chorus.

It is Mr Nicholas Cave and his beat combo the Bad Seeds essaying "Disco 2000".

NB the style used is not the bat-releasing doom goth rock Bad Seed sound, oh no, it is the EXTREMELY SLOW AND SERIOUS Bad Seed sound of recent years.

Haha I don't mind it at all. I don't like it at all either but this is not anywhere near Placebo/Futureheads-desecrating-K8 levels of offensiveness! Possibly because indie can do to indie what it wants for all I care.

i find it weirdly disorientating: n.cave singin a song which acknowledges the existence the future (more yet: the imagined future of a particular past) --- somehow it seems like the OVERTHROW OF EVERYTHING HE EVER STOOD FOR

viz: if NC was a character in Queen of the Damned he would be appalled by Lestat's DEAD8 shenanigans

It is the Tindersticks!

I quite like this :(
