How about keeping the 80’s movie theme going with a cover of Together in Electric Dreams? Can’t remember the film at all, but what a tune!

Can you cover a band you've performed with? I'm thinking Ash (girl from Mars, Kung Fu, burn baby burn) or Art Brut (good weekend)?

Or, hard swerve, any song from Bo Burnham's inside show.

The B52’s ‘Legal Tender’ or Radiohead ‘All I Need’ Stay Rad!

I could go for an REM cover, maybe?

What a lovely surprise to come back from work to! I have been quite frankly terrified of David Cronenberg since I watched James Woods pull a gun out of his stomach 🙈 so I’ve not seen this (and still have little clue what it’s about) but it did make me smile. I especially liked the rattle of ice cubes in the background. I might have to go and pour a gin 🍸

Thanks, Lou! Yeah, "Videodrome" is strong stuff! Even its memory is best washed down with a gin 🥂

You obviously need to cover that Paramore song that one person on Twitter or wherever was so riled up about.

Not a terrible idea. Would the Paramore fans hunt us down and slice us up, or would they think it's a tribute to their Almighty?

Hard to tell, honestly. I suppose it has to do with whether the moon is in Aries or something like that. I say go for it.

(I sent this in your DMs and you didn't respond, I guess you don't do the whole DMs thing) for the tour, what place would you recommend to me under the following conditions, I would like to go to the UK, and I would prefer something with less people (obviously).

So Chris Urbanowicz says he used to hear Chris singing "Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne in the shower all the time*....would love to get a taste of that, plus it would provide a warm, touching contrast to that meat hating monster in H.O.T.M.

* - May not be a factual nor true statement (but would still love to hear the song done the W.A.S Way).

I'd love to hear you cover something Canadian, like Heterosexual Man by Odds or Denial by Pure.

The Canadians do pump out some solid songwriting!
