Radio Paradise (mobile)

I agree with the fellow listener who thanked Cobain for re-introducing the song. Your ear can't be very good then. There's a huge amount of difference. Cobain's voice is much rougher, I believe the version that's always played was the live acoustic set Nirvana did? It's ok, except for one terrible bum lead guitar note. I took that version as a 'hats off' to Bowie and soon got irritated that it was the only version the radio would play for many many years after. [ Reply ]

We stood there fora good 3 minutes not sayong a word. Nobody else recognized him and I swear to god I have never been more gripped by fear since or before. Glad to know his health turned out ok.

GTT Dec 11, 2012 - 09:25	So many reasons to love this song: the enigmatic lyrics, the cheesy percussion instrument in the background, the flanged vocals, the fact that it is the original version of a popular re-make ... plus the unforgettable guitar and bass parts. One of my favorite DB songs, and there are many great ones. [ Reply ]

I almost never prefer a cover version of a song if I've known and liked the original first, although I really appreciate it when an artist tries to bring something new to it. Case in point would be Gary Jules doing Mad World. I'll always prefer Bowie's version because I'd been listening to it for two decades before Nirvana had a go at it, and because Nirvana just turned in a karaoke version of it, in my opinion. Or, more directly put, their version gets on my tits. [ Reply ]

At that the older girl gave me a shocked look while the younger one ran into the house. I thought it was best to leave at that point. Have you ever read Barry Hannah? If he weren't dead I'd guess you were Barry Hannah. Hannio, Hannah. Any connection? [ Reply ]
