[kj] OT - Last Shadow Puppets

[Neil Perry]

Sorry I have a prejudice right there - I've heard some other people
doing Jacques Brel (Tom Waits? Bowie? E Costello? Can't remember now) and I
fucking
hated it... do I *have* to?
Oh, alright then... (isn't there something else by Scott Walker
I can try instead?)
