Little bit of Strangers in the Night bonus.
Love me some Rogrigo y Gabriela, and I adored the stuff they released during lockdown, real bright spots.
They did an utterly, UTTERLY wonderful rendition of Floyd’s Echoes:
For two people just sat there with no audience, it’s a WILD ride and an emotional rollercoaster.
And I mean, I know they’re really both excellent musicians who work perfectly together, but Gabriela’s playing never ceases to leave me less than utterly flabberghasted.
Regarding moar Metallica covers, although it’s reeeeally more of a mash-up, The Native Howl’s “Harvester of Constant Sorrow” is just spectacular:
I was bummed when i found out that they were going to be in the Houston area sometime towards the end of 2022 (i think?). I had plans to be in town so i could’ve gone but i found out the same day and it was a big ask to drop everything to go to a concert way across town last minute.
They played at Rosemont, and no one in the Chicagoland area thought to say anything?? GRRRRRR.
I’d never heard that track before; what a bitter-sweet tour of the valleys
@FDG135 re Walk Like an Egyptian; German is such a great language for Post-Punk. That cover of Wave is like a refreshing shower in minty mouth-wash; invigorating.
@Beanolini “Not quite as cheerful as most of the ones above, perhaps? Laibach: Strange Fruit.” I am surprised, nay shocked, that Laibach covering Strange Fruit is not cheery. That’s freakin’ scary; as it should be.
@Mungrul seeing Girl School and Motorhead on Tiswas was great.
My boyfriend’s back and he’s got the Black & Decker!
Thank you for introducing me to Alice Donut; those as some rich, fat, fresh morsels.
@Nonentity Thanks for that medley of awesome ass-kicking.
@Dogbutler He is well worth watching.
Boom-bastic! I would love to hear them cover “Baba O’Reily”.
Maybe you are recalling the 1980s’ German-Patagonian co-produced, anime inspired OVA, “Sapphische Roboterkrieger”?
This kid* is really good. I’ve seen him before in a documentary series called “Cities in Blue”, I think. He played drums and bass in that.
Covers a few tunes here.
*Well, not a kid anymore; the video was posted in 2015.
I’ve seen/heard “Kingfish” before.
Always worth posting - he is exceptional.
I’m downloading this!
You cannot go wrong by choosing to listen to PJ Harvey.
My go-to for posting in these is the Muppets cover of Popcorn.
That said, I really enjoy Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence. Changes it from the pop fun of S&G’s version to one I have literally put on my funeral playlist.
And so we don’t leave on a sad note, I love acapella and this cover of Sixteen Tons is so good.
Ver’ Cool. A bit of two-tone, followed by a bit of the ol’ maudlin French.
Only joking, I loved her take on it.
