SONG OF THE DAY [#267]

'the journey continues' | mark brown ft. sarah cracknell

so my comics didn't come yesterday. dagnamit. oh, well. that means they will definitely arrive today. so, in the meantime, here's another great song for your listening pleasure.

those of you who know me know that saint etienne is my favorite band ever, a nose ahead of the almighty depeche mode. i first heard saint etienne [that's them at the left] in ponferrada, spain back in 1994 [thanks, javi!]. it was love at first listen and during the last fourteen years i've been a consumer of all things saint etienne, including sarah cracknell's ['crackers' to those in the know] many guest vocal appearances. in the past she's provided vocals for stephin merrit [magnetic fields], paul oakenfold, xploding plastix, and many. many more. her velvety vocals are in high demand! her most recent vocal is for mark brown's 'the journey continues,' which i understand is getting considerable airplay over in the UK. i guess a part of the song was originally part of a television commerical advert and mark brown got his hands on it turned into a full-fledged single. good thing he did 'cos it's pretty great.

so check it out. i'm sure you'll enjoy it.
