There's a lot of elements dragging this track/video about, good and bad, but this woman always ensures trouser adjustments are required nonetheless 8-)

I love covers that strip the familiarity of famous tracks, and lay bare the essence of the original you neglect through ubiquity. So there.

What's old is, well... still old. Nonetheless, this ain't a bad effort for the old dame.

Hit it, grandma.



Edited: Ah, this is the one I was really looking for.

Oldie, but goodie, I've just heard on my i-pod. (It's on random play.)

S.O.D.

This is a real toe-tapper. It's hard to imagine why these guys weren't more successful. I wonder if they ever took their act to Mexico?

I really like Of Monsters and Men, I posted the vid for Little Talks a couple of pages back. I think Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir (gotta love Icelandic naming conventions) has a much better voice than Bjork. But like all Icelandic music it's a little bit nuts.

Here's one for you 19 year old Jake Bugg, probably the most exciting UK artist to have emerged in the last 12 months.

COMFORTABLY REMADE

Post by RayThom »

Very few covers leaves me as spellbound and wired. Acoustically simplistic, yet it draws me in 'almost' as easily as Pink Floyd's classic. (Best listening with studio headphones.)

Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco:

I haven't stopped listening to this recording since I discovered it while using the "shuffle songs" settings on my ipod.

GOB. THE GREGORIAN CHANT

Post by RayThom »

There's something hauntingly mellifluous about the kyrie and other chants that resonates within the mind and body, even without all the iconography and other religious attachments. It was no doubt the sounds akin to the Solfeggio frequencies -- key to Gregorian chanting -- that initiated mans long slog out of the primordial ooze. I often listen to this genre of music for relaxation purposes. Sort of like TM with an upbeat mantra.

OM...OM...OM...
