Someone posted a video of them doing Top of the Pops with Last Train to Trancentral, and I'd completely forgotten I had this copy in storage in the garage, so immediately pulled it out and stuck it on.

First, let me apologise for the english of this message, i'm not to sure how to write it correctly, but i think it may be important.
This one is a bit peculiar. It's a song that was written in 1955 by Aragon for a French Resistant, Poet, Armenian exiled (Missak Manouchian) and his group that was murderer 80 years ago, in 1944, by the french fascist government. He, and his wife, were entombed 3 days ago in the French Pantheon during a national Homage. It was sang by a french group (Feu!Chattertone). The first one to sang this song was Leo Ferret.
Anyway, the two version of this song are ... beautiful and has so much meaning ...
I hope you'll like them, even if they are in french (the youtube translation is okay i guess ...) and you may not understand everything.
The version sang 3 days ago :

This is one I haven’t thought about for a while.
Sophie Barker was originally a singer for Zero 7, she did In The Waiting Line
She had a bit of a sketchy time with addiction and had to take time out to get sober. just before it all went to pot, she recorded this song for a British Airways ad campaign, her own take on John Denver’s “Leaving On A Jet Plane”. I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever made. It’s on streaming platforms now, but it was never promoted outside of the advert so few people know about it

Ok, I just found out something really weird, but quite remarkable.
Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles
Was written and recorded by (massively influenced by Kraftwerk) the bassist who later produced All The Things She Said by Tatu - Trevor Horn
AND the synth playe at 32 seconds in in the Buggles video is none other than HANS ZIMMER! (He was just in the video, not a member of the band)
How mental is that!
