We found you hiding, we found you lying
I re-read my own previous post and misread "postmodern" as "postmortem." Thanks for the editorializing, brain.

cucumberseed gave me a splendid cover of one of my favorite songs by Siouxsie & The Banshees last night, reminding me that I haven't posted a mix of music in ages, either. So, here. Have some covers. Not necessarily the weirdest, the rarest, or the most exhaustive selection on my computer, but I like them and you might as well see if you will, too.
Cake Like, "Love Charm"
(Marc Bolan)
Dead Kennedys, "Back in the U.S.S.R."
(The Beatles)
The Divine Comedy, "I've Been to a Marvellous Party"
(Noël Coward)
Dum Dum Girls, "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"
(The Smiths)
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, "First We Take Manhattan"
(Leonard Cohen)
The Everlove, "Cities in Dust"
(Siouxsie & The Banshees)
Hana Piranha, "Yuri-G"
(PJ Harvey)
Lorde, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"
(Tears for Fears)
Jawbox, "Cornflake Girl" (hidden track at 5:01)

(Bauhaus)
June Tabor & Oysterband, "That Was My Veil"
(PJ Harvey)
Peter Mulvey, "The Ocean"

R.E.M., "Academy Fight Club"
(Mission of Burma)
Soap&Skin, "Me and the Devil"

Tanya Donelly & Dylan in the Movies, "The Lovecats"

Gloria Jones, "Tainted Love"
Robert Hazard, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
Andy Prieboy, "Tomorrow Wendy"
I shall now do something with my afternoon that doesn't involve waiting for files to upload.

You're welcome! I like music; I figure other people might, too.
Have you heard the Bioshock Infinite versions of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"?
Yes, but I don't own them! Do you have recordings? I was trying to find a soundtrack last summer, but I don't think it had come out yet. (I also remember a brilliant women's blues of "Tainted Love.")

I love the music to that game. I remember when Everybody came on during the game, it was playing so softly in this burnt out shell of a building while everything blew up and yet I just started hooting like a monkey. It was terribly clever as audio commentary. Enjoy!

THANK YOU AND YOINK.
