The Dave Gahan ones are what Iām familiar with
Donāt look at the vinyl prices for the Mark Lanagan ones
They are OK. The ones with Mark Lanagan & Jason Pierce are epic though. Stream them on TIDAL and donāt even think about the LPs as they are all Ā£Ā£stupid.
Didnāt expect to like this guy, but this is pleasingly rustling my Chapsā¦

GGGOLDDD - The Shame Should Not Be Mine
Pulled this off the rack completely at random on the basis that
a) itās nearly All Hallows
b) Iād completely forgotten anything about it except it was a random purchase off the back of one song played on 6 music 15 years ago when I was drunk/fucked-upā¦
Turns out itās Ryan Goslingās perma-stalled entry into the annals of rockānāroll, which feels a mite surreal, 'cos Iād never heard of him back thenā¦
Itās actually Not Shit [E&OE 2x quintuple Jamesonsā¦] - reminds me of Erland & The Carnival, and The Good, The Bad, & The Queenā¦
Spooktastic, pop-pickers!
From tinternet:
āWhy Donāt You Smile Nowā is a cover of a song by The All Night Workers, written by John Cale and Lou Reed while working at Pickwick Records. The song was written before they formed The Velvet Underground, a band with a prominent influence on Pierce. The Spiritualized song āRunā incorporates āRun Run Runā by TVU.
P.S. I fucking love this song
