The mighty !!! deliver a glorious, string-fuelled, quasi-psychedelic cover of The Magnetic Fields’ original. Euphoric death disco? Please! Another half? Yes please!
Actor, musician, professional widow and major-label-baiter Courtney Love spins a few at Alan McGee's Death Disco, soon heading to a Dublin near you. Did we mention the new Nirvana track?
