Just listening to this again here. What a fucking tune.

Can’t wait for @artfoley wondering if I liked this song back in 1995 when he was making a stand against homophobia.

1995 pffft. I liked this song when it came out in the 80s, when you were a depressed self-loathing glint in the milkman’s eye

The wonderfully unique Julian Cope with the brilliantly titled ‘Cromwell in Ireland’.

This is a folk song
What the fuck song?
This is a love song
So what the fuck?

I like Ramin … Either way, it’s amazing. I can not recommend the show highly enough to anyone that hasn’t seen it. Unreal… if @Bandage was any way serious about his lady he’d bring her in the coming months.

Sarah Brightman - A Whiter Shade of Pale

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noV6LWivj6w

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - Roadrunner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgRYncR1Nog

Huge influence on many artists including James Murphy

Just two of my favourite tunes from the Father John Misty Album - ‘I love you Honeybear’

‘The night Josh Tillman came to our Apartment’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nADV61C1zMA

‘When you’re smiling and astride me’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9kaO5jViug

One of the most haunting and best songs of the 80s, from a very underrated band.

Great song but I fail to see the influence on James Murphy.
