The Today programme just had a fluff piece on the possible contenders for Christmas no.1 single. After wading through the usual dross (the makers of the Pop Idol single had thankfully not sent a copy in!) they played a big chunk of the ?new acoustic cover of "Mad World". (I'm sure I've heard it before, but maybe there's more than one).

It was recorded in an hour and a half in somebody's basement for a sum total of £60.

It's still in my head. It's really very good.

I may participate in an uncharacteristic bout of Good Consumerism and buy it (call it a bid to keep Sir Cliff and assorted children's tunes out of the no. 1 slot). I have to make another post office run, and Virgin is between work and the post office anyway.

Tears For Fears.

The real standout track for me is the Ave Maria they play over the credits (and I think at a few points in the movie). Had a divil of a time finding that on [p2p network here].

My mistake, thought she meant to ask who it was originally by.
