BST (GMT+1)

My dear friend Charlotte (of “Charlotte says it’s more constructive…” infamy), about 2 months ago, recorded a version of our song Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time. After 6 weeks of nagging, I finally wore down her resolve and she’s allowed me to share it on here. One day, when we’re both dead, I hope that our email correspondence will be published and we’ll become the 21st century’s Plath and Hughes. Charlotte’s got herself into a situation where occasionally she performs in a duo named Judy And The Blumes. They have a couple of gigs coming up. Perhaps you’d maybe want to turn up to one and be replacement heckler, in my absence. She won’t let me watch them play.

But yeh, Charlotte is awesome and so is this cover.  L U CHAR..

You should host some kind competition wherein blog readers must record some kind of cover using only a single take on a single mic and submit them for judgement/laughter by the lc! crew

this sounds really sweet, yep.

(i have to say this, though: i effin’ love you for making a Plath + Hughes reference!)

She’s got a gorgeous voice.

I can’t stop listening to this.
I love the lullaby feel of Heart Swells.

YashJuly 6th, 2009 at 10:31 am

Brilliant! Love it.

can someone upload a .mp3 version? My computer lacks the capacity to play m4a’s

BenJuly 6th, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Ste,
You could download this converter: http://download.cnet.com/Free-Mp3-Wma-Converter/3000-2140_4-10442362.html
and just convert it.
I’ve been using it a while and it hasn’t given me any viruses or anything so I’d recommend it!

I hope you don’t become this generation’s Plath and Hughes. Historical rumour would have it that he wasn’t a very nice man and the inordinately talented Plath met a sad end.

I still haven’t had a chance to listen to this! (it’s blocked at work)
So is this a clue about Alek’s successor?
