Seems the Boss covered the Suicide song above as a tribute to his fans. What an unlikely pairing, but it works.

Flagged for @Greenmachine on the remote off chance he's not come across it

One of my auld man's favourites - RIP Dad x

Give the original a whirl if you haven't - you'll see what a non-obvious choice it is for Springsteen and yet I think he's done it really well. Sort of a bit like Nine Inch Nails / Johnny Cash 'Hurt'

Bruce must have been performing that song live on and off for 10 years or more before the video and recording released on High Hopes recently...superlative cover

picked up Wrecking Ball on vinyl in Fopp earlier today for 11 quid, delighted with that

Bomber very sorry to read there of your sad loss, RIP.

forever we'll be singing

I didn't know that T. I am a big admirer of Springsteen but in no way a dedicated fan. I was fortunate enough to see him on that tour through various convoluted circumstances and he was fantastic.i like the way he speaks to me as I get older versus things that are more stuck in youth.

What I really like about the cover is what it suggests about his own breadth of listening. That song is an accessible effort from an otherwise fearsomely 'out there' duo, who while Bruce was ripping it up we're putting out stuff that only electro geeks like me could possibly go near. I like to think it shows a musical curiosity in the fella, which is wan element of his genius albeit he himself expresses that in more Everyman form - which I mean as the polar opposite of a slight, for the avoidance of doubt.

If you curious, check out ghost rider, che or, if you're a really going for it, Frankie teardrop by suicide. In fact stick with ghost rider and then make a decision

Thanks for bringing Chvrches to my attention, egb - they're my new favourite thing!

I've discovered that they've even covered an old favourite Bauhaus track of mine from my teenage years in the '80s!

My mates ,Mick,John,Iain and Pete performing at this gig when me and my lads were in the company of the Gallagher brothers. At one point half way through a section of the audience at the front started chanting 'Oasis, Oasis we want Oasis' or some such thing at which Mick and the band stopped playing and to paraphrase Mick said ' Shut the $#@! up, we're doing 12 numbers and that's what we're $#@!in gonna do'. Applause, the chanting stopped and they finished their set. A very memorable day and night.

I know people have varying opinions on Mogwai. Personally, i $#@!in love them. Stunning soundscapes and wonderful guitar. Post-Rock at it`s beautiful best.

This is a terrific live offering from an American TV show, of one of their faster tunes, 'San Pedro' from the 'Hardcore wont Die..' album.

Off to see these guys tomorrow night courtesy of 'oor' Ex goalkeeper Andrew McNeil's father. Andy snr is celebrating his 50th at The Royal Overseas Club in Princess St and is still active in the mod scene and has been since the beginning of the revival days. He's really pulled out the stops by inviting the Redstarts to play for which is going to make for a really decent birthday bash.

@Sancho Panza

That psb track is nearly brilliant. There's something annoyingly elusive that juts falls short for me: maybe the geetar and keyboard riff being a bit too obvious, I dunno. But it's so close to being the bomb. I shall be looking into their stuff. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

I used to post about these guys a decade a go but it wasn't on YouTube then. For electronic heads - too little too late now, but an Edinburgh band that should have made it;

Yes they are. Any of you Mogwai fans watch The Returned? New series started on Friday on More4.

@egb

Glad you liked the PSB track. The album The Race For Space is really rather good. It's a concept album (but in a good way!) covering the main events of the space race between the USA and the USSR. I particularly like The Other Side, which samples the dialogue between mission control and the crew of Apollo 8 as they briefly lose contact while the craft passes behind the back side of the moon. It's strangely tense and ultimately uplifting. Looking back on that era I think there's something very heroic about the men and women who were prepared to be hurled into low-earth orbit in a tin can.

Like that Magnificents track btw. Echoes of Kraftwerk and the samples from the PSB stuff.

Here's something else you might like in an electronica / ambient techno stylee:

I've been giving "Different Class" by Pulp a spin.

The album was released 20 years ago today (30/10/1995) and still sounds great. On a personal note, this was an important album for me as it was one of the first I really obsessed about as teenager and I found Jarvis $#@!er's tales of working class weirdos incredibly relatable. It's definitely the reason I started learning to play instruments, trying to write songs and ended up pissing about in bands well into my 20's.

For me it now stands tall as the best album of the Britpop era bar none. They've been incredible live each time I've seen them too.

Take it away Jarvis and co...
