I didn't realize she would cover something so fabulous (at least according to me). And here's the Peter Gabriel version. The time we saw her live was underwhelming - mostly because one of the tracks she "sang" skipped and started over - but I applaud someone who's willing to give Peter Gabriel a go.
I think it's about time to tell you this...
The new (to me) Bat for Lashes CD has completely captured me. What a developmental leap for the singer, Natasha Khan: this album is so clearly a next-stage for her, she sounds so much more grown up. The soul of the cd just pours onto one as he listens. Give it a gander.

A little something to get us through the rest of the afternoon.
I've been really, really enjoying some new (to me) music lately. Hopefully there'll be a post about that soon. I have to say that I really miss the old Muxtape because that made music posts a lot easier. Sigh.
In the meantime, I had to share my latest crazy-crazy import to my computer from disc music obsession: The Massive Attack "Singles 90/98" box set. It's probably eating away at my hard-drive space but it's worth it! Worth it, I tell you!
I think it's safe to say that the 16th Street Station in San Francisco is one of the fugliest BART stations in the network; however, one of the highlights of my FABULOUS weekend was snapping this shot during our wait for the train to Berkeley in said station.
Also this weekend I came across this wonderful troupe of street performers in front of Cliff's Variety in the Castro District. Here is one of their songs.
Finally, I highly recommend scoping out the margaritas at Velvet Cantina. The bartenders alone are worth the visit.
