"where the wild roses grow" - chicks on speed

"on the second day i brought her a flower. she was more beautiful than any woman i'd seen"


there was something sensual about the cave and kylie version of this song. but the chicks on speed version is hauntingly terrifying. i'd never heard of chicks on speed until i saw we dont play guitars on mtv2 late one night and thought it was awesome. most of their other material that ive heard is kinda ok but the other standout track is this one. the gently nightmarish whisper of the vocal tone, the unplaceable wrongness of the production - its scary stuff.


it was dydd santes dwynwen yesterday and for various personal reasons that would only seem like excuse if i expounded on them i didnt buy my wife a flower. i must rectify that today.
