Nouevelle Vague
« on: December 16, 2005, 19:44:54 PM »
Anyone got this album?

Lots of (mainly) alternative 80s classics arranged for Spanish guitar and French chanteuse - with the odd Brazillian percussion!  :o  :cheesy:

Songs covered include: The Cure - A Forest; The Clash - Guns of Brixton; Sisters of Mercy - Marian; Killing Joke - Psyche; The Specials - Friday Night & Saturday Morning; PIL - This Is Not A Love Song and Modern English - I Melt Into You.  Oh and a tender version of the Dead Kennedy's Too Drunk To f**k.  ;D

Highly recommended.  O0

I bet it's the bottom half of the bottle that's been drunk isn't it Nick? O0

I'd ask you to do me a copy Visc but I have enough Digital Texting Training PowerPoints to last me a lifetime... ;)

 Dead Kennedy's Too Drunk To f**k.  ;D

 I saw the DK's in concert as a skinny teenager in Cronulla - home of the riots - in 1983.  Fantastic O0 O0

Yes, great album, the premis sounds cheesy but they really do some interesting quality cover versions.

When I was DJing on our University radio station I was trying to play a song off cassette once and mistakenly put in the wrong side - when I pressed play it was in the middle of the DK's blasting Too Drunk to f**k.  I played it out anyways although it was quite dissimilar to the other songs in my show that day, I think I was trying to play Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

The second Nouvelle Vague CD is out now. And on its way to the Viscy household, as I type.  O0

Not quite up to the standard of the first album, but worth it for the Ever Fallen In Love; Blue Monday and Bela Lugosi's Dead covers.  O0
