Artist: t.A.T.u.
Album: 200 km/H In The Wrong Lane
Appears On (Mixes): Past The Barber and Gymnasium
Song Notes: I adore t.A.T.u.; 200 km/H In The Wrong Lane is just a great pop record. They're actually working on a new one, due out in October, so I'm pretty excited, even though they've apparently decided to stop pretending to be lesbians. According to the site, they got Richard Carpenter to do a string arrangement on a song, too! I know what I'm going to be buying on October 18. Anyway, this is from their only non-remix album, and is a cover of The Smiths. I've never liked them much at all, but this song is so well done. In fact, I love this song so much that I am worried that between this and my love of Belle & Sebastian in five years that I will be moping around talking about how Morrissey is so misunderstood and was placed in a world that was too cruel for his beauty or something and that I wish that I could be half as sad as him. In the mean time, though, I will still love this song and sing along with it and go "Man, 'I am human and I need to be loved/just like everybody else does'… that is so true." (Actually I do really like that line; I am so ashamed. But I think it works particularly well in the context of the t.A.T.u. album, with the whole sexuality aspect, assuming you treat it like a really involved concept album—especially considering "Malchik Gay" doesn't really work if you just go with the base-concept, since on that song, they're straight girls, pretending to be lesbians, singing in character as a straight woman who is in love with a gay man.) - Rev.
