Cover versions - music bitch/rant

I know it's like really uncool, but I like cover versions. It's, like 'gay' to hate the cover-versions and just be like 'oh, it's alright...but the original is so much better'....

Anyway; the top 5 off the top of my head (i.e, there's more to come):

Tatu - How Soon Is Now (The Smiths)
(I think the two are almost even; Tatu just gives it a rockier edge and when Taylor Momsem (don't ask me about the correct spelling) and friend dance to it in Gossip Girl Season 2 its amazing.

Lior - Needle and The Damage Done (Neil Young)
I just like Lior's voice better, and it's a more polished sound in general. Sorry.

Adele - Last Nite (The Strokes)
I think it's just that I'm sick of the Strokes' original. Adele just has the better vocal capacity to make the song go from okay to cool, instead of just ok the whole way through.

Lily Allen - Oh My God (Kaiser Chiefs)
Again, the last time I checked Lily Allen was 'cool' but has a simular reputation to Amy Winehouse - secretly we love the music but we're quite aware she's obviously relatively fucked up. Again, simular review to Adele doing the Strokes...Lily Allen just has that edge. I remember that the first time I heard this was while I was looking around (not shopping, I swear) in Sportsgirl...I became content with my love for trashbags. Immediately I came home & downloaded it.

Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)
I never really 'got' Kate Bush. Yeah, i'm of the wrong age & it's cool to like all things old but she just doesn't do it for me. Placebo does; the days of 'Every You, Every Me' and 'Teenage Agnst' etc are all over, it seems, but god this is just good.

In other news, I really want the new Goldfrapp album. I'm worried I won't like it because its, like, disco. I want the new Calexio album to come out really really badly I can't wait till April. I cant wait for mid-semester break, I wanna take a trip to Polyester so bad because JB has shit staff and nothing that I want. In short, I want, I want, I want. fuck x 10000000000000000
