Oh, is that who that was? We heard that in Newbury Comics #2 a couple
weeks ago -- personally, it was the only track I heard that was moving me
much at all, but it's good to know who did it.
On a similar note, about six months ago in Filenes of all places, I heard a
female singer doing a disco cover of the Strokes' "Last Nite." It worked
brilliantly, and I'd love to have it, but my usual sources have failed me
and I can't figure out who it was. Any ideas? It sounded like Kylie, but
I don't think it was her.
