So I chose Coma Cinema's version of I wanna be adored, I love the suicidesque drum machine and the plaintive spectral vocals seem to be more in keeping with the lyrics than then more ballsy original.

This weeks theme is "Even Better than the Real thing" cover versions that are better than the original. 1 song on the theme with an explanation of why you chose it.

Dapa CKD results: works just as well for people with diabetes as non-diabetics. NNT=19 for primary endpoint. SGLT2i are total game changers for people with CKD.
