Songs of the Moment: Covers

Friday, July 06, 2007  

A recent conversation while driving home from Lowe's:

"How is it possible for a human voice to make that sound?"
"I think it's Mars Volta. . . . Rush for the new millennium."
"It's like there has to be one of those guys every generation. It's just wrong."
[pregnant pause]
"But you dig the song, right?"
"Absolutely. Don't you?"
"I haven't changed the station yet. . . . You just like the angst."
"Yep. That's why most of the music you like sucks. Not enough angst."
"Well, most people outgrow angst, like, after puberty."
"Whatever."

And then, as if the DJ had been listening, next up was The Bad Plus's cover of "Tom Sawyer." Some more fun covers I've been listening to lately:
