Some Velvet Morning

 



Had a dream i cut my flatmates hair but it came off her head as orange peel and as the wind drew in through the crack in the window, a very strong gust, it dispersed the peel evenly all over my room. We then looked at images of Kate Moss in magazines for ages. Girllyyy. I think it's because I was listening to this song (Some Velvet Morning) yesterday morning and it surprised me that Kate Moss was present in a musical context, this time with Primal Scream. It's the first i'd seen of her collaborating with bands but it seems she has worked with The Lemonheads and her brother, Nick Moss' band. This Disco Heater Dub version is alright, I heard it in an early Weatherall mix, but there's something about the breathiness and sass of the vocals which makes me cringe a bit. The original version recorded in 1967 by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra can be found here: Some Velvet MorningThe male part of the song is in 4/4 time signature whereas the female part is in 3/4. Lee's voice is recorded with more reverberation than Nancy's, making it sound bi-dimensional. My favourite is Slowdive's cover (Some Velvet Morning) - overdriven guitars and hi reverb vocals, a dreamy shoegaze version.
