Back in the late ‘70s through the ‘80s and into the early ‘90s when I left, the New Zealand scene was really interesting. The pop bands couldn’t get play due to the commercial radio stations playing sure things from overseas
But the record label Flying Nun ensured the alternative scene flourished. I’ve been listening to one of my all time favourite from that era - Straitjacket Fits - to and from work for the last few days…
Nobody (John Cale came close) has ever covered Leonard Cohen as well…

I`ve heard a lot of Hallelujah covers that were very good indeed but not so many Marianne covers. This one was quite different from the original. Can`t recall Straitjackets I`ll have to look them up when I get a chance. I think that Marianne was a girl/woman from Norway not far from where I`m now living.
