Simon Pegg (Spaced, Shaun, Hot Fuzz etc) chose Marianne

Pegg was asked to pick (5?) songs on Radio 2 last night.
Afraid I wasn't paying much attention to what program it was.
Turns out Pegg was a goth in his youth, and chose Marianne.
Odd hearing it on the radio!

Simon.

Writer and star of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, etc and Scotty in the new Star Trek movie?

I saw an interview with him in the past, and he confessed then to his pre-rave (i.e. Spaced) goth-ness; I had completely forgotten about that, but bit like me really. :)

I'm going to look on iPlayer, hearing Marianne on iPlayer will be even stranger than hearing it on the radio.

Agreed 100%

He's like Rowan Atkinson now - just not funny but has the talent.
