one of my favorite songs. indian jewelry does a great version too, but the normals kill it for all time.

suicideblonde:

Peter Murphy, lead singer of Bauhaus (Bela Lugosi’s Dead) and Trent Reznor, Jeordie White and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails cover The Normal’s Warm Leatherette

GOTH-GASM!  This made me gleeful with nostalgia— Peter Murphy’s voice is the definition of goth, and Trent’s NIN edge makes this song, a standard of the scene, have a whole new rock feel to it.

Fonville Winans, Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, New Orleans 1932
“One of the all-time favorite tourist attractions of the New Orleans French Quarter is Jean Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, on the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Phillip Street. It was built sometime before 1772, and is one of the few remaining original “French architecture” structures in the French Quarter.
Two devastating fires, one in 1788, and the other in 1794, all but destroyed New Orleans. Hundreds of buildings - businesses and residences - were destroyed. New Orleans, and Louisiana, was under Spanish rule at the time, and the city was rebuilt as a Spanish styled city, replacing what was a crudely built French port and trading post.
Tradition has it that the Lafitte brothers operated this blacksmith shop as a legitimate appearing business, serving as a front for their privateer enterprises. One of the brothers was the infamous Jean Lafitte, Privateer, and co-hero of the Battle of New Orleans.” -At New Orleans, ‘Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop’
