Next Monday evening I am off to the Hydro to see Roxy Music’s 50th Anniversary show. I have been looking forward to this for MONTHS!
So…in celebration of this, here’s SM’s only cover of a Roxy song. Goddamn I wish they’d picked something else! But, I guess Jim loves it. It is probably my least fave Roxy song – certainly one of my least fave SM covers…and that pains me to say that, for unlike the majority of Minds fans, I actually enjoy a number of songs on Neon Lights. The antithesis of my feelings on For Your Pleasure is how utterly beautiful and amazing I find All Tomorrow’s Parties. It is, by far, my fave SM cover. Street Hassle used to be. They always seem to do Lou/VU best.
To make amends for this, let’s have one of my fave Roxy songs now – dedicated to His Kerrness.
Enjoy! Happy Roxy Music Monday! (P.S. Cannae wait til next week!)
