This makes me very happy. These songs take my breath away - in an almost literal sense; I can't imagine a more perfect soundtrack for slowly drifting into the hereafter. Beautiful, frightening, ethereal, wafting away despite being so very, very HEAVY.

Nico – My Part In Her Fame
about 1 year ago

Talking with Mike The Knife awhile ago we got onto the subject of Nico (it’s a popular topic) and it reminded me of my role in her career as press officer. The memories sank again into the deep, but then "Spike’s post":http://mog.com/Spike/blog_post/146543 on Nico once more reminded me of those happy times.In 1974 I worked as a press officer at Island Records.

And as an added bonus...Mates Of State covering the same song:

Whether it’s Iggy Pop’s jackhammering “Lust for Life” scoring the heroin-crazed introductory chase scene from Trainspotting, or Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore going all clay-crazy over the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody” in Ghost, directors have always seemed to love scoring big scenes with a well-chosen song.
