Musical Notes

[kingandy]

Heard on the Radio One this morning:

BLINDED BY THE SUN LIGHTS by The Streets - By use of keen observation and dilligently-produced trance backing track, FrankMike Skinner successfully recreates all the emotional trauma of a horrible nightclub experience. By which I mean, I just don't get it.

DON'T STOP by The Beautiful South - more than made up for The Streets, it is a cover of an old track by The S Club 7s inna mellow Jazz stylee. Nice. It has been noted that I am a fan of dreadful punk covers; this is not entirely accurate, what I favour is unusual covers of familiar songs.

These are my beliefs. I appreciate that they are WRONG JUST WRONG, but unlike some people I would rather die for my beliefs than kill for them.

EDITED TO ADD: Today's Scary Go Round seems strangely relevant, but I can't quite pin it down.

I myself have always enjoyed covers of familiar tracks. In fact I make a habit of collecting them. I also collect accoustic and solo renditions as well. A song that translates well between several musical styles shows it strength IMHO. I'll have to take you though some of my collection some time.

I also quite liked the original S-Club version of Don't Stop. I don't think it has any musical merit, but as a boppy little pop song it hits the spot - and if thats what you want at the time then thats fine.
