no, I ain't lyin'
Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:59 pmI keep vaguely telling people about this, and not being able to remember any of the artists involved, so let's make it real by blogging it. Shane MacGowan, Nick Cave, Chrissie Hynde, Johnny Depp, Mick Jones (on fire extinguisher) and others cover "I Put a Spell on You" in aid of Haiti relief. It's a snarly, growly, bluesy, ballsy rendition which makes the horrible self-congratulatory celebrity pap of "We Are The World" and its noxious ilk look like the flaccid, saccharine syrup they are.
