Maybe I’m nostalgic but I couldn’t help posting this song (versions of the song). Besides, my playlist has been filled with tons of Passion-Pit and Pretty Reckless music lately.
A fazer-se uma versão, então que se transforme e recontextualize o que é do outro mas agora se veste à maneira de quem o mostra… Assim o fizeram os Art of Noise quando em 1988 piscaram o olho a 'Kiss’, um dos exemplos maiores da etapa minimalista de Prince e reinventaram a canção de forma mais encorpada, desafiando Tom Jones a acentuar mais ainda as diferenças. O resultado é uma verdadeira nova visão para uma canção que ninguém antes certamente imaginava assim.
A brilliant cover for a Prince minimalist song by The Art of Noise and Tom Jones. This is what a cover should be: a reinterpretation of an original.
Tony Richardson was an English director for both stage and films. He worked for 5 decades, with his best know work “Tom Jones” (1963) starring Albert Finney. The film won 4 Academy Awards: Best Director, Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Score.
In 1962, Richardson married actress Vanessa Redgrave. But there had been gossip that their marriage would not last. Tony Richardson was bisexual.
Even Vanessa’s mother Rachel Kempson expressed doubts, predicting the relationship would last ‘five years at a guess’. She was right.
Kempson spoke from experience… she too married a bisexual. Her husband Michael Redgrave came out to her before their marriage.
Richardson and Redgrave had two daughter, both who would become successful actresses: Natasha Richardson (born 1963), and Joely Richardson (born 1965).
Although Richardson had relationships and one night stands with men outside the marriage, it was his affair with French actress Jeanne Moreau that moved Vanessa to divorce him in 1967.
Richardson never publicly revealed his bisexuality. He died at the age of 63 due to complications from AIDS in 1991.
You guys are never gonna guess who I saw in concert tonight
NO WAY!!?!!?!!?! What’S your fav song?!
Probably Delilah! It was the most fun to sing at the concert, too! Sex Bomb gets honorable mention for being catchy as hell. And Tower of Song from his newest album makes me really emotional, so that’s a fav, too!
we joke a lot about it but is not what’s new pussycat sung in the most threatening tone possible
There’s a 24-hour diner in Seattle called Beth’s Cafe, and when I was in college they had an old jukebox, the kind with two songs per artist. I was there late at night with some friends and saw they had added two Tom Jones songs, so I requested “What’s New, Pussycat.” When the song came on, I was grinning maniacally at my table for like ten seconds…but then the song cut out. One of the staff got on their PA (I still don’t know why they had that, possibly for situations like this) and said, “To whoever picked that song, sorry, but we have a strict rule: no Tom Jones after 10pm. If you come to the register, you can have your quarter back.”
I decided I would rather lose 25 cents than admit it was me.
