down the bannister
Rifling through the used bin the other day, I ran across the single for !!!’s cover of “Take Ecstasy With Me.” Since that’s long been one of my favorite Magnetic Fields songs, my interest was piqued, but I was too cheap to drop $4.99 + tax on the CD. I found it streaming online here, and, boy howdy, I like it better than the original. I do find the Magnetic Fields cloying, but !!!’s smooth production puts a different, but dancey twist on the song. The page is also worth visiting, just for the silly little reference to The Smiths.
