I know music posts on this blog don’t go down well with everyone, but I need to pop a post up today and this Hamish Hawk cover of The Smiths is just so beautiful.
Short and oh so sweet.
You should remember Hamish from the Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1973 song, which remains a real highlight from last year.
And if you’re wondering about what’s below, then you need to go here.
Bit busy today, so herewith a bit of music that I’ve been enjoying more than other music I’ve been listening to recently. (Not that that other music was particularly bad – these are just two top tunes).
First off, The War On Drugs title track to their upcoming album, I Don’t Want To Live Here Anymore.
More of the same same. Perfect.
And then this: The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1973. Yes, really.
It’s so, so good. And what a title! Look out for Calls To Tiree from earlier in the year, as well.
Definitely echoes of Dry The River (RIP) in there.
