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.

    • On three occasions I've had a dog run up to me. On two occasions, including one last week, the dog was aggressive. The third time it was a whippet who was being playful but did nip me on the leg. On each occasion, the dog owners were completely ineffectual.  The owner of the aggressive Staffordshire didn't call the dog off at all and the other two owner's attempts were pathetic and half hearted. I have a friend who is a dog walker. She says that you need to shout at the dog. You call its name and say 'come here.' loudly.. If you are a dog owner, you need to learn how to control your dog, or keep it on a lead.  
    • A political weekly I subscribe to was often delivered to me on Monday or Tuesday after it's Thursday publication. Or later. Never before Friday.  They have changed their delivery from Royal Mail to a courier service and for the last 3 weeks it's been posted around 7:30 on Thursday morning or before!  Presumably that must now cost in for them.  The slow death of Royal Mail may not be that slow...   
    • No, it hasn’t improved.   How often and how are they assessed?  Every time I’ve had an interaction with them,  I am sent a message on the NHS App asking to rate my experience.
    • Pleasant and honest. In East Dulwich. I have already got Dexter's in Nunhead on my list. Rude remarks also gratefully received
