I've come to the coffee shop to get out of the house while I'm not allowed to be at work (union! [shakes fist]) and so far I've heard two weird covers of songs that were in Moulin Rouge -- first 'In the Name of Love' (is that the title?) sung by a couple of hippie girls and now 'Roxanne' sounding somewhat like Van Morrison doing Samba.

Nothing beats Jeremy Hardy's 'Roxanne'* though. Wow. (Does the audio file work?) Normally Mr Hardy's singing puts me in mind of Nobby doing karaoke but this round is just ... the only word I can find is 'transcendent.'

*Needless to say, copyright the glorious and wonderful BBC; I'm just spreading the joy.

I think the U2 song is called Pride (In the Name of Love), although I really do dislike it when people put parts of song titles in parenthesis...

I suspect this is because the band (or writer) would like it called one thing but there's a bleeding obvious title in the lyrics somewhere which is how everyone will recognize it. I find it annoying too but at least it allows me to recognize the song...

It just makes me think of this:


I am so sorry.
