Q Lazzarus "Goodbye Horses" - C or D?

such a shame about his brother.

dope track

Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard.

holy shit, never realized this was sung by a woman. always thought it was a gay or just very affected 80s voice

I downloaded the Goodbye Horses remix EP from iTunes and it's great! My favorite is the one with the choral synth pads.

Wikipedia mocks me though by telling me there's a version that's over 6 minutes long. Where to find?

I am ridiculously excited about this. Thanks Scott!

what can folks tell me about Voodooist Corporation, who also had a track on one of those Demme soundtrack albums?

Stuart from Ike Yard/Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight had a project called the Voodooists.

did they/he do that "Queen of Voudou" song?...seems right in line with DST...

really like the fan death cover of this!

I can't stop listening to this song. Just picked up the extended version on this extended versions bootleg series. I am happy about not paying $400.

apparently she never even had an album, JUST this single (w/ a cover of "White Lines" on the b-side)

try telling that to 15 year old me trying to find more by her on kazaa in 2002

goodbye horses

i'm flyin' over youuuuuu

She's alive, but no longer making music and only surfaced long enough to have a conversation with the author of the above fb post. Stereogum repackaged the story, but she expects to write a more elaborate article soon.

i just read this elsewhere!
am glad she is still around <3

tbh though i super-love Silence of The Lambs, I do get bummed out that culturally the song is sort of a punchline or joke to certain circles of dumb ppl

it’s such a beautiful song, it haunts me in a good way

I've never encountered that reaction to it. Everyone I've ever heard speak about it does so with the utmost reverence.

lucky you then

i am very privileged that i get to play this song to tens of thousands of people a year; i have never, ever noticed anyone respond to it without the utmost reverence.

v. happy to hear she is still alive!!

Wow

:/

A moderately epic troll that when there was finally an official reissue on a 12" it was a shorter edit of the 7" version and not the sought after extended version. And as if to add insult to injury, a no doubt yawnsome remix ;-)

I'm guessing it was a question of getting the rights and/or the original tapes but still wound people up.

wait I thought the song playing while buffalo bill danced was a colin newman song?

it"s Goodbye Horses during that scene but Alone and The Fall's Hip Priest are played earlier in the scene.

fwiw, I don't feel like Buffalo Bill doing a mangina dance to Goodbye Horses is a cultural joke. The scene is amazing and made more deep and strange that it's played out to that song.

If you wanted to do a mangina dance to Goodbye Horses (as a friend of mine and stirmonster's has) then go for it! It's not a song that requires absolute reverence, imo.

RIP Queen. How can one song be so powerful??

So true.

From another obit, some welcome if still sad news:

https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/25644374/diane-luckey/neptune/new-jersey/jackson-funeral-home

At the time of her death, Diane was finishing work on a feature documentary about her life and music with filmmaker and friend, Eva Aridjis. The film will be released in 2023, along with an album of songs spanning her entire musical career.

Wait, the video was never embedded on this thread, let's correct that.

Oh sucks this thread got revived for this. Had no idea. RIP.

Top 10 song of the decade for me.

Oh that's a shame :(

woke up with this old john peel favourite in my head today. the resemblance to 'goodbye horses' has only just occurred to me. both songs from 1991 iirc?

bang bang machine - geek love

Goodbye Horses is from at least 1988 because it was on the Married to the Mob soundtrack (Demme was definitely in her corner early).
