I like this video better than the other. It has that murky late eighties, early nineties feel to it, and therefore goes better with the song. She sings like a beautiful lost cosmonaut.

Bloody cheeky remake with the singer who came after her. This video is great & very of the time. Why bother remaking it?

this pisses on the Neil Young original

but everybody should hear "old man" live 71

great

@maccatori Promotional purposes for the re-release,the done thing at the time was to promote a clear image of a band, the record industry with it's expensive record covers, fly posters, point of sale displays for record shops couldn't afford for there to be any confusion who people were listening to, this was still the era of the lead singer being the face of a band. Moira Lambert was a one off, Sarah Cracknell became the face of the band. Ergo, you remake a new video for a re-released single.

I used to listen to all St. Etiennes stuff back in the day fox base alpha was the cleanest breath of air i ever had. But is that craknell on vocals there? i dont think so, listn to the album version of hobart paving, thats craknell at her best, all ways will be. Not sure if thats a young sarah or weather it was a backing vocalist. Cant Sleep was also a nice dub with the female vocals though, dont let your mates know you listening to it though hmmm it pretty damn weak for a man.

[Enfusory]

one of the best i ever heard
