that entire album is 10/10 amazing

It is. And he could totally have phoned in the rest of it after the above cover and it still would have been better than most.

I only came across it recently, amazing stuff.

Prince wrote a tribute/massively influenced semi-comedy version of it for a Time album. It's not a patch on the Isaac Hayes song but it's cool when you come across these things and can draw the dots.

I heard a version of The Smiths' Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want last night on the radio and there was a female singer. I thought it sounded gorgeous. Think it was on John Creedon's show.

Was it this?

Hmmm I think that is the one but I think I prefer the first one you proffered. What a whopper of a song.

Yeah, my favourite Smiths song. Johnny Marr is an amazing musician, to the extent that Morrissey solo could never be as interesting due to his absence.

The Smiths were kinda musical irreducible complexity, taken apart none of them worked that well, but together, unreal.

sweet - Both Sides Now

Very nice. I know its a Joni song, but I always like the Judy Collins version best..

That line.... Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say, "I love you" right out loud.... gets me every time

I always thought Johnny Cash and June Carter's version of this sounded faintly ridiculous compared to Bobby Darin's. Nowhere close
