Bit of clarity, and the piano is like a piano sound

You know N.H and TDC have done some absolute tosh but also they have done some absolutely fantastic work as well. A lot is tucked away on B-sides and EPs. I think this is superb thanks for posting.

Way back when - and a full flowing head of blonde hair in situ- our band performed a rocked up: When Will I see You again ( 3 Degrees).
Needless to say - I thought it was quite a funky version - in retrospect - thank **** it never saw the light of day.

Daniel Rossen - Kathleen (Live in Santa Fe).................................... brilliant cover of my favourite Townes Van Zandt song

David Bowie played the saxophone and did the backing vocals for this cover version of his own song. A very good cover version, in my opinion.

MIYA FOLICK - "WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS" (ANNIE LENNOX COVER)

Following the release of her new album Roach, Miya Folick has shared a cover of Annie Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass" on Nettwerk's new Goodwerks arms. The cover raises money for abortion access, and Miya says, "It’s been one year since the Dobbs decision and most or all abortions are now banned in 14 states. These laws are violent, cruel, and reflect the deep imbalance of power in the US that affects us every day. It makes me rage when I think about how most people in this country supported Roe V. Wade a year ago and continue to support it today. We want access to abortions, but politics and an unconscionable lack of empathy stole that from us. Keep Our Clinics is working to preserve clinics in places where abortions are severely restricted and to expand access in states where abortions are legal. I’m proud to be a part of this compilation to support their work. ‘Walking on Broken Glass’ felt like a fitting contribution to this project. Taking away people’s rights to abortion access is a shattering, a destruction.
