A Recommendation.

If there’s anybody out there who loves Sheila Chandra’s version of The Lament of McCrimmon, for God’s sake don’t watch the You Tube video. I did. It’s awful. It misses the haunting quality of that track by a million miles. Whoever made it (assuming it was a man) should be suspended by the testicles from a tree in Rutland and left there for the ravens to disembowel – slowly!

He should.

On the other hand, the video for Speaking in Tongues (the one where she's wearing what looks like a posh woolly hat) is quite brilliant.
