New Steven Lindsay Video – “Monkey Gone To Heaven”

While Frank Black is busy snuffing out hopes for another Pixies record, let's start the week with this sweet cover from ex-Big Dish man Steven Lindsay, who casts an angsty, androgynous kid in a bra/tank-top thing, bringing out the suicidal tendency of the Doolittle tune. The cover comes from Steven's Kite LP, for which he said he "had been listening to stuff that switched me into music in the first place like Bowie's Low/Heroes phase, early Roxy Music, post-Punk and things with a strong aesthetic and more of an oblique sensibility. The Pixies song always fell into that category for me." Pretty unsettling, no? Happy Monday morning.
