For some unrequited ones, February 15th may be the day after Valentines Day when sad songs mean the most....

From the first lady of country and England's premier songwriter, Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello confirm that, after all these years, love still hurts.....

You've got to be barking mad or have cojones of steel to take this song on - and pull it off....one of my favourite American indie rockers Jay Farrar and his version of "Like A Hurricane". It's pretty damn good too!  Afro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7BrWDophpg  

...although some might argue not quite in the league of its originator...

Today's choice pics are...

Peter Gabriel covering the beautiful Magnetic Fields song The Book Of Love.

and on a slightly different (and louder) note, we have Northern Ireland's mid-nineties noise merchants Therapy? with their cover of the Mancunian miserablists Joy Division and their track Isolation.
