Covers - Followup 2

The meaningless semi-coordinated prancing around. The helmets with plasticky feathers. The shining waldhorns.

Covers - Followup

Yesterday, I linked to a list of favourite covers by musical connoisseur Le Gammeltoft of Unga Bunga fame.

If you haven't perused through them yourself, let me highlight these two haunting acoustic renditions of soul/pop-hits "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley and "Hey Ya" by Outkast. I did not know any of these artists before. I most certainly have them on my watch-list now.

By Ray Lamontagne - "Crazy":



And by Mat Weddle from Obadiah Parker - "Hey Ya":

I just noticed that Le Gammeltoft had posted a list of favourite covers. Mmmmmmh, food for my addiction.

By the way, these days, busily coding, I've got this old little juvel high on my Youtube playlist - Newton Faulkner playing Teardrop by Massive Attack:

Whoooooa, I'm alive!

Where were you man?!


Eh... I don't know. I've been busy. Doing ... Like stuff...


Then why didn't you tell us about it?


It was like... boring stuff... Wiping the nose of my kid... And so on. Do you want to hear about that?

No! We want more fun and music. Some more rants, also. And science! Where's the science in this blog? Gofix!


...


Ah. Well. Let me see. I should think this is already weird enough to count as a rant. Science. Ah. I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that, right now. (Did you see what I just did there? Referenced a classical sci-fi flic, while stipulating that I cannot talk about science? This blog may be dropping to new depths of cheap puns to survive...)

Now go listen to Alphabeat's perky cover of the excellent Daft Punk tune, Digital Love.




There's a recorded and polished version as well. As usual I prefer the live version, though.
