Still a bit of a busy bee this week, but here’s a great little electro-pop cover of Siouxsie & The Banshees‘ Happy House by Gallic duo Ginger Ale (AKA Klima, another little hottie I might add. Jeez, what’s in the water over there???).
On a bit of a time crunch today, so remind me later to tell you about how today’s cover star Tricky (under his Nearly God moniker) and I almost came to blows one time when I interviewed him for a TV show.
For the lyrics, Lemmy said he “used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice – when it comes to that sort of thing, I’m more into the one-arm bandits actually, but you can’t really sing about spinning fruit, and the wheels coming down”

In Brazilian Portuguese slang, mas que nada (literally, “but, that [is] nothing”) means “come on” or “no way”. This is sometimes confused with the Latin-American Spanish más que nada (literally “more than nothing”), meaning “mainly” or “principally”; though in more literary Spanish, “mas que nada” (note the omission of the accent, which changes “más” (more) to “mas” (but)) would have the same literal meaning as the Portuguese.
