Agree it is a beautiful version, but Jeff still just takes it fr me.

I liked the original of both of these tracks but they both had the same effect. Immensely popular and catchy to the point of irritation - then given a new lease of life thru a innovative cover version. Two slices of great pop.


From last year: Ray LaMontagne - Crazy


From the radio this morning:

I haven't listened to that Maics link, but is it definitely the manics? Biffy Clyro did an acoustic version of Umbrella which was on the Radio 1 Live Lounge volume 2, so it may be either that version, or the manics have just robbed someone else's joke which gives me another reason to dislike them (like I need another reason... They are Welsh you know!)

Hurt by Johnny Cash is fantastic.


On the other hand Lou Reed did a version of Sam & Dave's Soul Man for a film some years ago

that was abysmal.

Reviewing it in the NME Charles Shaar Murray simply wrote 'Everyone responsible for this record should be taken out and shot'.


Harsh but fair I thought.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
