We listees here in Australia just got "Legal Man" so thought'd I'd say a few words about it:) It's a great if very un-B&S song a real northern soul stomper with sixties girl-group type vocals-yummy! "Winter wooskie" which I had alread heard before on various live stuff they've done is beautiful too. Dig the cover but why is it different from the rest of the EP/album art? vid is apparently being shown on "Rage" so will haveta check it out and report back:) Since the question about the duet between Nick Cave and Shane McGowan ("what a wonderful world") was brought up, my mind has been set to think of the really great duets of recent times. All the people Nick sang with are great of course (the Peej, Kylie), the Drugstore/Thom Yorke one was nice, and when the Tindersticks collaborated with the always lovely Isabella Rossellini on "Marriage Made In Heaven"- the results were fantastic! but can anyone think of other really wonderful duets? Of course, REM have done a few lovely ones (with Patti Smith, Nat Merchant) but the one that sticks in my mind is the one he did with the enigmatic but great Vic Chestnutt for the soundtrack to "End of Violence"-"Injured Bird" SWOON! What a gorgeous heartbreaking song that was. I used to have it on tape but I stupidly and foolishly taped over it. Does anyone have this song and wouldn't mind taping it for me???:) I had also foolishly taped over the wonderful cover that Pavement did of "Killing Moon" and if anyone had this, I would be so grateful to 'em:) Just saw "X-Men" recently and was struck by the coincidence between the mutants and us listees. We're misunderstood frequently, have a surrogate family right here in our e-community and well I for one have always wished for telepathy/telekinesis, though not everyone might agree with me on this! by the way, go see the movie-it's super cool and despite the negative advance buzz is really the best superhero adaptation ever (eat that Batman and haha! DC) and captures the complexity and angst of the excellent comic quite superbly. It's this year's "Matrix" and it's special effects are freakin' cool and must be proud of Aussie Hugh Jackman for a great portrayal of Wolverine, a character I thought would be impossible to play credibly (but which he does very well actually) ANyhoo, am wittering on a bit, must dash (wonder if I've started a thread with this duets thing?) and if anyone has those aforementioned songs, I'd be so grateful to 'em. ok seeya folks Kin Woo "What's the deal?
