Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 6, 2022 New collaboration between Jack White and rapper Q-Tip. Interesting, could have told me this was a new (or maybe really old) Eminem tune and I’d have more likely believed it. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,414 Posted March 10, 2022 Okay, so here is the annual reveal of the UK Eurovision entry, sung by Sam Ryder, a Viking from Essex. All well and good doing a song called Spaceman but I can’t help but think Babylon Zoo did it better. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,697 Posted March 15, 2022 Oh, the epic, windswept, brutalist glamour - a footballing 'Vienna', no less. On me carefully-coiffed 'ead, son. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,414 Posted March 16, 2022 It’s been remixed again recently by producer Ben Kim, but the original song from ‘67 will always be the best. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,987 Posted March 29, 2022 Purple Zone - duet of Soft Cell and the Pet Shop Boys, lots of 80s stuff, the horns of Always On My Mind, melody of ... Coldplay's Viva La Vida?, overall pretty calculated, but hey, you get what you expect. I do wonder why three of the four involved are open, looking good, but Chris Lowe, the always stoic keyboardist of the Pet Shop Boys, is wearing a mask and hiding his face and head. Immuno-compromised? Relatively ill? You know what I mean, and maybe it's even more than what I mean. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,165 Posted March 29, 2022 Chris has got a history of hiding behind masks, disguises etc. He's always been enigmatic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted March 29, 2022 Was bantering online about cover versions yesterday which led me to share this estimable onslaught on a sixties classic. You know Haim are on form when Este's gurning takes hold. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,562 Posted March 29, 2022 I've said it before, but I still think in outright terms of "how the fuck did this happen?" the biggest cover disparity has to be Richard Thompson covering Bowling for Soup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Link below to late period Peter monstering a Bowie classic. 5 mins and 43 seconds into this: YouTube doesn't allow embedding of the song on its own, apparently, so they do care about us, then! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted April 5, 2022 Someone thoughtfully put this mash up album together a few years back, on 1 April the Albums I Wish Existed (which offers up pretty much what you'd expect) blogged it, claiming the thing to be legit and scuppered only because the record companies involved couldn't agree copyright issues. Going on the comments, a few people fell for it. It, kinda works: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 28, 2022 Amazingly singer/songwriter Donovan is still with us, and still recording. Here’s one from his new release this month. Gotta think he’s DL material 2024+. Very Deathlisty! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,414 Posted May 31, 2022 The Kunts did a brilliant job with their last single, getting Boris Johnson Is Still A Fucking Cunt to No.5 in the UK Christmas chart. Now, they’re back in time for the Jubilee, and aiming for No.2 (because they’ll never let it be No.1, let’s face it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
