Johnny & Mary


Todd Terje's first album proper is out in two weeks and a few of the tracks from it have started doing the rounds including his collaboration with Bryan Ferry on a cover of Johnny and Mary.

Now while Terje's cover is lovely and glacial and Ferry's vocal fascinating and haunting, I find myself returning to Robert Palmer's original video. I've posted before about my love of literal videos and this is a fabulous example. A fabulous example with mimes in it. Brilliant.
