Today I trolled off to the Library, intent on doing some poor impoverished musicians out of a decent sized royalty. I quite quickly decided that our library CD collection is either seriously, seriously, crap or the Kiwis have a dodgy taste in music… until
I discovered an Asian Dub Foundation compilation album of Sinead O’Connor singing with the likes of Terry Hall, Massive Attack, Pete Gabriel, Jah Wobblyman etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Then, I found the CD of a band of whom I had never heard (yes me 
truly, I'd never heard of them 
They were called 'Nouvelle Vague'. and for $2.00 a CD I decided to wing it ‘cos it contained a cover version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'.
One of my unofficial hobbies, over the years, has become the collection of cover versions of Johnny Be Good - you’d be surprised (and probably disinterested 
) at how many there are. Recently I have progressed to Love Will Tear Us Apart covers. This is all the fault of Yat-Kha a Tuvan group who released a brilliant album of Tuvan throat music cover versions of various toons.
Well 'Nouvelle Vague' have produced the French equivalent of Yat-Kha’s Albert Kuvezin . A wistful female vocalist called Camille (
) executes the covers in the style of Inspector Clouseau sings Elevator Musak. It is fantastic. It’s all going on the i-Pod!
Anorak off now, it is getting a bit hot in here

I'm intrigued by your Johnny be Good collection. And I'm almost faint wiith jealousy at you being too hot. It's not exactly warm up north today.
