Thanks Wilson and Tony for those vids. Really enjoy finding "new" stuff. Checked your youtube out and signed up Wilson... girl Friday was really good. I really hear where you're coming from on the single acoustic versions, like Longtrain Running from Girl Friday, they can be so good. Got something special, reduced and maximized like that. Reduced to the Max, I guess. Same time, loved that JT. Thanks guys.

Same thing happened to me on Simple Game by the Moody blues, Suzi. I first heard the Four Tops singing it long before I realized it was a Moody Blues song. This is for tovo: no white honkeys wearing frilly shirts! :

Here's another one I just thought of. I'm not sure this is BETTER than Feist's original version (hers is more lounge-y and Conor's is more down-home), but it's still pretty great. Bright Eyes version of Mushaboom (originally by Feist):

Jackson C. Frank's "Blues Run The Game" has been covered a lot. This is my favorite version.

Thanks for tuning in Tony

sorry for being late on the reply chas but it would then sort of be like Mr. Tambourine Man with Dylan and the Byrds.

I thought there was a thread on covers that are WORSE than the originals, but couldn't find it. So here's a link to an msn article on their top worst covers.. Britney singing Satisfaction?! I'd rather hear Devo's version, Cabro. entertainment.ca.msn.com/music/photos/ga...-documentid=22583051

Britney is touring Australia at the moment and people are walking out after realizing she lip syncs her show. Even more ridiculous is some people defend that. Why would anyone want to pay to see a whole concert of lip syncing? It's beyond my comprehension. Her concert tickets are now selling for 99cents on ebay. Still too much for me.

A sincere apology Tony, to all of Oz. There must be some international treaty that forbids 'Britney Tours' from being inflicted on unsuspecting countries. Bill

I prefer Boyce Avenue's "Bleeding Love" to the original.

I was just listing 'Great Big Sea' on the Canadian music thread and remembered this song!! GREAT take on 'End of the World' by REM.

Can't really say this is better, but I really like this cover. Mahogany Rush had some good tunes back in the day..... Here is their version of Norwegian Wood MJ

..a continuation of my Haydain Neale post on the Canadian music thread. Here's his cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' hit 1979.
