I'm gonna go a bit esoteric... even for me. This is Clock DVA's cover of the Velvet Underground's 'Black Angel's Death Song' off the album 'Advantage'. Though I feel they kept to the spirit of John Cale's influence (making it a tad more symphonic than cacophonic); the vocals here, however, have a slight Shane McGowan drinking song tinge to them, as opposed to Lou Reed's original laconic speed-freak delivery. A great song to play on a cold night, in a poverty sparse apartment, where the heats been cut-off and you've burnt the just slid under the door eviction notice for warmth.
