It's a ploddingly overcast day at the Idolator flophouse, so we're going to brighten things up with Solex's fizzy take on the Madonna track "Beautiful Stranger," which never fails to thrill us when it pops up on shuffle. (It's all in the glockenspiel.)
Solex - Beautiful Stranger [MP3, link expired]

Nice -- better than Ken Stringfellow's take (at least I think it was him; if not it was Jon Auer). Also superior to the original but I suspect I'll be alone there...
I put my finger on why, but hearing this really makes me want to go out and buy a women's tracksuit jacket at H&M.
Whoops, I meant to say CAN'T put my finger on why. Stupid fingers.
Oh god, I love Solex with all my heart and soul; this has made my day.
Genius! As expected from the "Laughing Stock of Indie Rock". Please, please, please come to California soon!
It's really nice to see people enthusiastic about Solex, it's really too bad Elisabeth has fallen so far off the radar!
