I received feedback from an American reader today asking me if I could re-post the Sugarcubes tracks I had posted a few weeks ago, so here they are, bjork and her merry men (and woman):
Sugarcubes -‘Birthday.’ mp3 [the original version, 1987’s Festive Fifty no.1)
The remixes from 1988, with the aid of Jim and William Reid of the Jesus and Mary Chain:
Sugarcubes -‘Birthday (Christmas Eve).’ mp3
Sugarcubes -‘Birthday (Christmas Day).’ mp3
Sugarcubes -‘Birthday (christmas present).’ mp3
Sugarcubes -‘Petrol (live).’ mp3
And a few extras:
First up, the original Icelandic version of ‘Birthday.’
Sugarcubes -‘Birthday (Icelandic).’ mp3
A track, originally the b-side to the UK single of Birthday:
Sugarcubes -‘Cat.’ mp3
And finally, as Jeremy had politely asked for it, the 1982 Festive Fifty no.5:
Tears For Fears -‘Mad World.’ mp3 (Mrs. 17 Seconds says she prefers this to the Gary Jules version, and I think she’s right).
As for other people who’ve emailed asking for reposts, please hold on, I’ll try and get there ASAP.
In other news, I interviewed Foxface today, so will try and post that here soon.
