It appears that I'd almost forgot to do this post, whoopsee!
I kinda feel like I've fallen off the musical wagon lately; I've gotten into a bit of a rut of there being not-much-of-interest-that-I-felt-compelled-to-write-about and I-don't-feel-like-writing-anything-for-anyone-at-all-ever-again. Ah well.
This week's Flashback is a bit of a sad one (sorry world!); I was reviewing The Civil Wars' new (seemingly final, yet v. good) album which featured a surprise cover of 'Disarm' by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was very different to the original, very delicate and vulnerable, as opposed to Billy Corgan's inherent bitterness. That said, I doubt anything will ever beat the Siamese Dream original; it's a fantastic song that has a sombrely addictive quality that keeps you pressing replay.
I'm going to be a bit lazy now and just tell you to listen to the song, but really, sometimes the music really does do it all.
