The problem with 'Strict Machine' was always that it didn't sound quite glam enough

This might have been endlessly wanked on about on 'the blo­go­sphere' when it came out (which was a few months ago) but it only came to our attention today that Suzi Quatro — in many ways the Sky Ferreira of her day — only went and covered Goldfrapp's 'Strict Machine' on her last album. And if you're thinking, 'well it's not that much of a stretch, it sounded like a Suzi Quatro song to start with', she's really 'done a number' on it here.

The same album also includes a rather less suc­cess­ful cover of Rihanna's 'Breaking Dishes' (?!).

Suzi Quatro. Much like God, she gives with one hand then takes away with the other. But there the God com­par­is­ons must end.
