It's things like this that make me realise I really am getting old.A tune comes randomly on the i-pod. It's a track by one of my all time favourite bands - a one-off single that doesn't appear on any LP, so I find it hard to immediately pin down the year of its release. Most likely 2003 or 2004 I reckon. Maybe even as late as 2005. All I can remember is that it is a cover version which was the theme tune to a drama series on BBC TV.
I was stunned to dig it out and see that it dated back to 2000. Turns out that the director of said series, called The Sins, is now quite famous as the director of all the most recent Harry Potter films. I really could have sworn that this was just about the last thing the original line-up of Tindersticks recorded together but I was well wrong:-
mp3 : Tindertsicks - What Is A Man
mp3 : Tindersticks - What Is A Man (instrumental)
The original was by The Four Tops, and a #16 hit in 1969:-
Happy Listening.
