Nice one Sir Alias !
Charlotte was on Radio 4 this evening being interviewed about her new album. She has a lovely speaking voice and the snippets of songs that they played were very Feline-esque. Going to get this asap and do a review.
"Madame, Be in no doubt as to the seriousness of your position". The Day of the Jackal, 1973.
Just bought this months Uncut magazine and on the CD is a song from her new album '5:55' called 'The Songs That We Sing'. Gotta say it's a bloody marvelous track, the violin riff in the background is very similar to the one in her old man's 'Bonnie And Clyde' choon. That is probably why I like this song so much. 'Bonnie And Clyde' and is one of my all time fave Serge choonz.
