Xiu Xiu - Brooklyn Dodgers (Fag Patrol version)

Xiu Xiu's Fag Patrol is one of the darkest records I own (along with those scary Nico LPs). It's songs that were already released on other Xiu Xiu releases, apart from a cover of The Smiths' "Asleep," only hauntingly bare. There are no drum machines and wild saws, just Jamie Stewart, an acoustic guitar and sometimes an harmonium. The original version of "Brooklyn Dodgers", on the quite disturbing A Promise, is a mean, nausea-inducing piece of a song. This one is just disarming.
