Agree it is a beautiful version, but Jeff still just takes it fr me.

I liked the original of both of these tracks but they both had the same effect. Immensely popular and catchy to the point of irritation - then given a new lease of life thru a innovative cover version. Two slices of great pop.


From last year: Ray LaMontagne - Crazy


From the radio this morning:

I haven't listened to that Maics link, but is it definitely the manics? Biffy Clyro did an acoustic version of Umbrella which was on the Radio 1 Live Lounge volume 2, so it may be either that version, or the manics have just robbed someone else's joke which gives me another reason to dislike them (like I need another reason... They are Welsh you know!)

Hurt by Johnny Cash is fantastic.


On the other hand Lou Reed did a version of Sam & Dave's Soul Man for a film some years ago

that was abysmal.

Reviewing it in the NME Charles Shaar Murray simply wrote 'Everyone responsible for this record should be taken out and shot'.


Harsh but fair I thought.

    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
