    No need to be so harsh on yourself but at least you're learning from your mistakes. ;)

    I stopped half way through this thread, but I agree 100% with Bazmo. :)

    Stopped halfway through?

    had you heard this one before, by any chance?

    Ah sure you're all only a bunch of comedians. :)

    As I said though, I'm a presenter of an indie show - old and new (with the emphasis on old) and I just LOVE introducing people to good music. I titled the thread the way I did in order to draw attention... and it worked!:D

    So why the need to point out that this is a cover of an 80's track when so many others have slipped through the net over the years. If I had a quid for everytime I heard some teenager running around whistling some song that charted when I was a kid I'd be a very rich man...
    Why hate on Ronson? He's very good at what he does...no-one says you have to like it. I hated the f*cking Smiths and Morissey when I was a kid. Depressing bunch of trenchcoat wearing tossers is a term that springs to mind. But listening back to their stuff now I can see why they were so liked and I found a lot of their stuff I actually did like. If producers like Ronson can put these old tracks out there for a new generation and make some moolah out of it along the way then fair f*cks to them.


    Whilst we're on the subject WTF is up with all the Supertramp reissues/samples? I am sick to ****ing death of it already.

    oh - and just a quicky slightly OT - Ronson comes from a pretty good musical pedigree...his old man, Mick, was a Spider from Mars, as in "Ziggy Stardust and the" and he produced Lou Reeds 'Tranasformer' along with the Dame...

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: I have nothing against Mark Ronson. But I wanted to make people aware of the original, because I think it's stunning.

    As far as remixes go I quite like it based on the fact that it's a re-working of the song and not just sample looped with a repetative beat.
