v/a - whore 2: songs by wire that other bands taught us



you may remember this.
and i'm just going to assume that you found something there that you were able to tap your foot to.
and i'm sure that you've also tried rubbing your head and stomach at the same time as well.
you shouldn't do that.
you remember what happened the last time.
you barely made up a believe story to try and explain to that family why it was you were in their kitchen at 3:00am.
but we've all been there.
we're not here to discuss that though.

this was a collection of songs that i'd come across somewhere that someone had taken the time to put together themselves and then slapped the title of WHORE 2 on it.

i'm the one that put together the cover art.
i also provided the "songs by wire that other bands taught us".
very shake 'n' bake.

so that's what this is.

    I did something like this not too long ago, unaware that it had already been done ... I did not find everything on "Whore II", but there is a good bit of overlap: all but 6 or 7 of the songs (and I'm glad to have 'em).

    Here's my hoard of 80-odd Wire covers, which makes me +50 whored. What do I win? Other than a deep sense of shame, I mean.

    Nice job on this my friend --- I have always loved the 'Whore' compilation (or at least parts of it).

    This cover of three girl rhumba by klonherz is not terrible, although clearly the video is neater than the interpretation of the song. I had a friend who developed a serious crush on the drummer in this video, in spite of (and I think, because) the fact that she is a paper cut-out:

    Thanks for this and all else. You are much loved : )
