On the subject of cover versions, I'd personally like to hear Belle and Sebastian covering Orlando's "Save Yourself". But then again, I would: I wrote it. I also read with interest the New York Times piece on the recent concerts by B&S and Beth Orton that was posted here recently:

Ms. Orton dedicated "I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine" to Diana, Princess of Wales, softly intoning such moving lyrics as "If I never saw the sunshine, baby, then maybe I wouldn't mind the rain."

I take it that the correspondant didn't realise that this was of course, a cover version of The Ronettes' "I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine", recorded in the 60s by Phil Spector but shelved until the numerous Spector reissues years later... I hate it when I know more about music than people who are paid to do so. Dickon website: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/orlando/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
