Rob Cortes, a gent who came down to a few Mister Sundays over the summer, passed me a CD with a few songs on it after a party. It was chock full of good stuff, but one track in particular really blew my mind. It was a version of Björk performing Big Time Sensuality accompanied only by organ and tabla. I’ve been trying to find the source ever since, and today I found it… That’s Talvin Singh on the tablas and Guy Sigsworth on the organ, by the way. Can someone please press this to vinyl?

Roses Kings Castles
Found this one digging around the internet yesterday. The band was started as a side-project for a former member of Babyshambles, Adam Ficek. Super cool stuff.
Off-Topic: The Letter
No, it has nothing to do with Halloween or space, but can we all just take a minute to appreciate how amazingly Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Jim Gordon and company were nailing it back in 1970?
