THIS MORTAL COIL - SONG TO THE SIREN [Tim Buckley cover]

 Another re-visit! THIS MORTAL COIL - SONG TO THE SIREN 

I found a clip of David Lynch talking about wanting to use this wonderful version of the classic Tim Buckley song in Blue Velvet but finding they wanted too much money ( at the time!) and he had to wait until he could afford it for Lost Highway

I couldn't embed the interview here as it is forbidden but click the link here and see David exploring the music for his films:

Now I should say I like Talk Talk . . .I really like Talk Talk and since the death of Mark Hollis from cancer in 2019 I was truly affected badly by the loss of such a unique voice and writing at the heart of the band. Yet I still think this is overindulgent really. I have all the offical releases and several ROIOs issued after Hollis' untimely death but 18 cds calls my bluff I guess

Read on here and enjoy what Butterboy has done here if you are a true fan . . . . . . . download at your discretion I guess

A fascinating interview with James Marsh on his album cover work for Talk Talk:

STEALING MEDIA! - sharing without credit! | MUDWERKS

 Mudwerks says: Just a heads up on an account that apparently steals content from tumblr posts, and then reposts them as their own:

OLDWINESOULTOO 

Their blog appears to be reposted material from the tumblrs that originally posted it (mostly gifs) - with NO credit or source given.

Completely against any tumblr ethics or guidelines.

I’ve contacted them a few times to register my concern and gotten no response.

…time to report and block.

Mudwerks get’s rightly cross with folks who steal links and media without crediting and I always try to endeavour to do so. If you ever catch me doing that please call me on it . . . it is the antithesis of what I try to do here and I share material that folks make and so that people visit other sites, like I do . . . so please feel free!
