| hey guys...didn't read the whole thread,but it got me thinking about an irish charity album that came out a few years ago called "even better than the real thing"....basically an irish dj asked a few well known irish artists to do a live acoustic version of a "pop" song that they liked......all proceeds went to charity.
if you can, try to have a listen to it..a few of them friggin rocked and i really liked the idea of acoustic artists covering/re-recording pop songs (as it was usually the other way around at the time)....i know travis has done one and nick cave...(actually he's on the album doing "cant get you out of my head')
"sound of the underground" sounded amazing, i had never really listened to the lyrics before....great stuff.....
my point.....to me the "HIT" with all the cute bits o ass/production and snazzmajazz pre's etc was shit, but the unpolished turd version hit a chord with me.......fuuck
peace........
