You may have heard this before, but I HATE cover songs that are done exactly like the original (or at least the most famous version). Worst example of this is Natalie Merchant’s “Because the Night”, for so many reasons. (First of which is that Natalie Merchant is the anti-Patti Smith). I heard 311 cover “Love Song” by the Cure this AM on the way to work…LAME.
Do you think Toby Keith sits down to write a song and thinks about how many “patriotic” TV specials he can sell the song to? I can almost see him “This song will be great for a Fox News special about how great America is”. Anyway, somehow my clock radio was set to a lame “country” station this morning and I awoke to Keith’s “American Soldier”. It’s a fine sentiment, but the subtlety of his work is that of a jack hammer.
I love Interpol.
Yet Dwight’s new album is still not doing it for me….(Shut your mouth)
Other recommends: LCD Soundsystem and M.I.A.
Now, get back to work
