Hello again! In an attempt to get my blogging mojo back, I am aiming to blog every day this week. It'll probably peter out by this afternoon, but now I have The Cure lyrics as my blog titles I have some incentive to keep going til Friday so I can finish the verse. (Early heads-up: I won't mean Thursday's title. I love you guys.) Here is a song I've been listening to an awful lot this week, thanks to the magic that is Hype Machine. If you haven't discovered it yet, you are missing out - it streams music from various blogs and houses a scarily wide range of songs. And none of that scary "downloading" business either! Let's leave that to the young people. Anyway, I'm rambling. A random search threw up Bill Cosby's cover of Reach Out (I'll Be There) - yes, that's the comedian Bill Cosby, taken from his ludicrous album Bill Cosby Sings Hooray For The Salvation Army Band. Clearly realising he'd never be taken seriously as a singer, he's adopted a somewhat tongue-in-cheek approach and doesn't so much reinterpret the song as rugby tackle it to the ground and kick it into submission with his brand-new lyrics and distracted singing style. My favourite bit is right at the start when he bellows "Hello!" like a crazy old man at a bus stop shouting at cars. Anyway - go listen.
