‘Stolen Songs’ is Aidan John Moffat’s new covers album, available directly through him OH FUCK THIS WHO AM I TRYING TO KID? ‘Stolen Songs’ is MY new covers album, available directly through ME via Bandcamp. There’s no point trying to pretend someone else updates this site anymore, there’s just me, which is why it doesn’t get updated half as much as it should. Anyway, the album features covers of songs originally immortalised by Cyndi Lauper, Katie Melua, INXS, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Doris Duke, Marvin Gaye, The Kids From Fame, and it also has me reciting an E E Cummings poem (if anyone fancies being pedantic about the uppercase letters in his name, you’re wrong – he rarely used lowercase himself). There’s even a bit of Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson tucked away in the middle too. You can listen to – and BUY! – the album here:
