12. Ain't it Fun - Tina DaCosta (mp3)
a bazillion years ago I tried to convince mig to cover this song, a favorite, because I thought it would be great to hear a woman sing it. tina finally does it, a few years later, but radically turns it inside out by a) doing it accapella & b) layering on the echo so the song has a disorienting luminousnes that goes against the self destructive nastiness of the lyrics. like a pretty blonde soprano with blood streaming from her wrists being rushed to the emergency room, blissfully oblivious to all the trouble she's caused. chaos erupts all around her & all she wants is a smoke.

I believe this is the version the angels sang to Peter Laughner when he slouched into the pearly gates.
