Re: tinseltown in the rain: oldrottenhead covers the blue nile now with video

[Oldrottenhead]

wot was i thinking by covering this?

the blue nile did this on later in 1996 but the song is much older.

for guys my age it's a touchstone.

i had intended to do a big production and throw everything including the kitchen sink at this.

however two comedians where heckled in glasgow today.

so i dropped my trousers for a stripped back version.

oh may add i have been drinking.

ORH, you sing with your heart, I can tell by listening you love this song, what a fabulous cover, I'm happy you kept it raw


 "backing fucking noise terrorism" that's what laws against terrorism should be fighting against

[Oldrottenhead]

i do love it daniel. i also love my guid ladies noise terrorism it keeps me grounded, brown i think or is it green and yellow?

[danieldesete]

green and yellow here, and in my place, the wire must be cut somewhere causing a permanent hum in my amp... The worse being of course really nobody cares... Thanks for bringing up the topic I feel better now...

is this your trustful cheep guitar and mbr, good old way ?

[Oldrottenhead]

Is my electro acoustic unplugged and litlr to the microbr.

[Ella]

Very successful cover. I must say that I like more your version. Great performance!

[cuthbert]

Hadn't heard the original before, but I really like your LitLR version. Honest and direct.

[Pete C]

Lovely performance ORH although as a guy also of a certain age i don't recall the original but found this a compelling listen.
