Lovecats.

I nearly forgot, on account of the novelty of actually being awake in the mornings this week, but it's time once again for Tunes for Tuesday.

It's not like all I ever do is download covers of eighties Goth favorites, but when I heard that trip-hop artist Tricky had released a cover of The Lovecats, I had to go find it. You know I *heart* The Cure, right?

I like it. You might not, but give it a whirl. It's breathy, slinky, sexy, intimate; a strange little styling that suits the lyrics. In a word, it's swanktastic.

We should have each other for tea, huh? / We should have each other with cream

Ooooh, I like!

It started to grow on me by the end...a very different take on it, that's for sure.

The telephone ring tone running under the rhythm in the first half is *brilliant*, like an aural Easter egg.

Yeah, it took me a couple of listens before I really "got it," but now I'm quite fond of it.

Wow! I hadn't even noticed that. Good ear!

oooo. i liked it even more than i thought i would, which was a lot.

made me realize what a great idea a triphop tribute to the cure album would be. *swoon*
