This excellent cover of an even more excellent original came soaring into my inbox a few days back and I had to share it with the badical kids. It's a version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" by the lovely electronica goddess from Paris, Emilie Simon.

Demain, je suis alle a Nice avec ma copine, Jane. Je vais relaxer a la plage, visiter les musees, dancer a la boom et boire du vin.That may be a load of cobblers.
