Stagger Lee and 20th Century Boy

February 26th 2007 07:12
There you go - two songs I was looking for most and I got a listen to them both recently.

Stagger Lee is by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and is one of the bands more upbeat songs. Strangely enough, even though the band is famous for their depressing songs, it's the slightly more cheerful songs that are the best. Stagger Lee is deffinately one of these.

20th Century Boy is a cover of a song by (actually, I'm not sure) but the version I heard was by Placebo, and yeah - it was a fairly typical Placebo song - Molko's awesome singing, lyrics about love, after a fashion.

Anyway, they're good songs - if you like those two kinds of music


Peace

(note, by upbeat, I'm talking about the music, not the lyrics)

20th Century Boy is much better by the original. T. Rex. T. Rex is awesome, although the Placebo one from Velvet Goldmine is also ok.

Have you seen that movie?
Also I must say that that Nick Cave album is excellent, especially liking The Curse Of Milhaven. It's cheerfully depressing.
