Aphex twins rendering of phiip glass's cover of heroes with bowies accapella is twisted and boss.

June tabors beautiful versions of joy divisions live will tear us apart and kd langs 'thats my veil'

And johnny cash sending nine inch nails to the cleaners when covering hurt. A lovely story behind thats cover version: trent reznor the man behind nine inch nails wrote hurt and its a deeply personal song, and one that he used to end his concerts. A song about the wretchedness of being a fucked up person, its not the sort of song youd expect an aging country singer to be able to do justice to, and reznor wasnt excited at the prospect of his magnus opus being sung by someone else.

Cash fucking nailed it though. The video is incredible. A decripit and flawed old man, singing his last mea culpa looking back on how he messed up the most important relationships to him. Reznor watched the video with friends and band mates and told them 'I feel like I lost a girlfriend, because that song isnt mine anymore'

Cash's daughter when she saw the video told the rest of her family to think caefully about whether they wanted to watch it as it carried such emotional weight. He died before the song was released

I dont know what caused a dying old country singer to put his heart out there for all to see and cover an industrial rock classic as his last artistic statement. But im glad he did. The most surprising of covers and one of the greatest. The video is beyond boss

I love the Nine Inch Nails version; it makes my spine tingle every time I hear it.

Never knew you were a music buff, Vince.

Can we reasonably assume you are into the greats too, such as Robbie Williams, Pink, Aerosmith, Lightning Seeds, Knopfler, The Wilburys, Eminem, Jeff Lynne?

Missed The Smiths off that list?

I may have albums by some of those artists in my collection.

Cant argue with that can you really.

I certainly have some Smiths albums.

[teddybloat]

Love the smiths.

Used to be into techno and at after parties people would play the most messed up downtempo glitchyness for you to trip out to.

Great post teddybloat, and you're right, the Johnny Cash cover is just genius.
The whole thing is so poignant I find it quite difficult to watch,  so God knows how his family felt about it.

In fact it's rather killed my Saturday morning vibe, I may have to take inspiration from cambridgealex and watch Geri Halliwell's cover of ' it's raining men' by way of balance

Placebo covering Kate Bush

[Marky147]

Spooky!

I never listen to the radio, but I had it on a couple days ago, and that Placebo cover happened to be playing.


I really like Boyce Avenue, who do some really good covers.
