We've always thought Hana had just a twinkle of a Nicks-ian quality to her soulful, beyond-her-years voice, so it's pretty sweet to hear her take on one of Fleetwood Mac's classics. Listen to Hana's glittery, heartfelt rendition of "Gypsy" (which Stevie wrote almost 40 years ago!) below, and catch Hana live at Noise Pop in 2019.

I came across this song on the legendary lovefingers.org site (RIP) a few years back. I was lucky enough to inherit an archived collection of .mp3s from the site and this song was one of the big highlights for me. I love playing it out DJing - its so infectious and weird and the half-time groove that happens with the beat comes-in makes it so funky...

Before influential Scottish '80s pop/new-wave cult heroes Strawberry Switchblade were a duo, they were a short-lived 4-piece, formed in Glasgow in 1982. There is very little evidence of this first, "full band" incarnation of the group, aside from a few grainy photos and a charming, lo-fi, C86-prophesizing 3-song demo tape recorded at Glasgow's Hellfire Club, to be reissued in early 2017
