I probably have about a dozen, but there's at least twice that now, spanning 1998-2018. Multiple stunning versions of Crystal Frontier, Stray et al as well as covers of Alone Again Or and Love Will Tear Us Apart, though they haven't quite made it to Bring On The Dancing Horses. The quality is generally excellent.Khayemhttps://www.mixcloud.com/Khayem_Audio/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-39612795755473107362020-10-30T10:41:37.083+00:002020-10-30T10:41:37.083+00:00I didn't know that Echorich, will check it out...I didn't know that Echorich, will check it out.Swiss Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13119322217065850020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-72235978163038671992020-10-30T03:04:28.512+00:002020-10-30T03:04:28.512+00:00Just to add to the Venn Diagram that is blogging i...Just to add to the Venn Diagram that is blogging in our corner of the blogosphere, Calexico with their buddies in Iron + Wire performed a version Bring On The Dancing Horses throughout their joint tour in 2019. It is a version imbued with that mix of Tex-Mex/West Coast/American vibes the bands do so well. https://youtu.be/Td4zmjtAgwwEchorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-5593472518516063572020-10-29T14:11:59.691+00:002020-10-29T14:11:59.691+00:00Bit of a coincidence that George, they announce a ...Bit of a coincidence that George, they announce a new album on the day I blog about them.

A superb documentation of a road tuned and tightly honed band, clearly enjoying every second. It was easily the best of that year's coverage. As ever, this version by TLS is an interesting interpretation of a good song. <br />Priti Patel is just one reason why I have had to ration my daily news intake at the moment. I just don't understand how one human being can show so little empathy to others.<br />Maybe, just maybe if Trump loses next week, then a little bit of hope will be felt across the world. All we then hve to do in this country will be to never, ever again allow this shower of bastards and thieves anywhere near elected office ever again.Nick Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206460139634182926noreply@blogger.com
