"A tear of petrol is in your eye / As the handbrake penetrates your thigh"



Warm Leatherette by The Normal (aka Daniel Miller), a 1978 transmediation of Crash.
Kinda jokey, but the label Miller founded went on to release the work of Diamanda Galas, whose LPs about AIDS and the Armenian genocide constitute pretty much incomparable attempts to address catastrophe via sound and performance...
