Hi Dom, thanks for the comment. Heard the song, it’s nice but I doubt there’s a Gainsbourg-sample in there somewhere.
Blimey Guuzbourg that’s some hefty compiling!
One that springs to mind that’s not on the list is Arab Strap’s The Holiday Girl, which is kind of a remix of David Holmes’ Don’t Die Just Yet, but they’ve really made their own song out of it > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqE2AUuOFOs
I can send you an mp3 if you like
Oh my, there’s quite some research done.
Thanks, brilliant stuff to listen to while waiting for my copy of the Melody Nelson Super Deluxe box to come.
Love it!!!
One word: Excellent.
