For those of you unaware of the fantastic BBC Radio One Live Lounge , the long running show features artists doing acoustic and live instrumental versions of their notable singles, as well as excellent covers of songs by contemporaries. One example of such a cover comes as today's post, the first part of what I am hoping will become a continuing enterprise of mine here at Salacious.
