Slightly off topic but there was a really weird cover of this in the 60's by an artiste calling himself "Senator Bobby", who performed the whole opus in the style of a Bobby Kennedy speech....:))

It was indeed. It was a live performance on top of the pops or something like that, Lulu was hosting. He said "this is for cream" before starting the riff... Cool!


One of my fave songs ever is Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones. It was covered by The Sundays who did a very different and really beautiful version.

Yes. BBC4 showed this very clip last Wednesday night on that hour-long programme of 60's music

Big fan of Tori Amos's cover versions too. I had the Teen Spirit cover back in the day on a "cassingle" but haven't heard for years


Her Strange Little Girls album regularly throws up little gems - my favourites being:


Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode)

Real Men (Joe Jackson)


and as a b side she did "After All" from Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World album



The Iggy original of China Girl beats Bowie's rerecording hands down (although I love the extended Stevie Ray Vaughan solos on the album) but Bowie has done some excellent live versions subsequently (and some piss poor ones too to be fair)


That original and stuff

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
