A new song by the strokes, it’s supposed to be a Jim Morrison homage of some sort, but I for one think you can widely interpret that. It’s just a great song. Julian is really pushing his voice to the limits here.
On the other side performed by the Strokes.
This one’s a Marvin Gaye cover together with Eddie Vedder. The original is also worth your time, but then again, Mr. Gaye often sweeps me of my feet.
Mercy, mercy me – The Strokes and Eddie VedderÂ
(btw, the footage is from the late 80’s/early 90’s series: Captain Planet, very hilarious show. One of the first educational Super Heroes.)
One that’s been stuck in my car for a while is Maximo Park’s “Going Missing”. Many a time, I sung along to this delightful tune, nodding in time with the beat. The slightly deranged singer (Paul Smith) adds lots of charisma and feel to the somewhat straight forward songs. But anyway, it’s just plain fun.
Well it’s about time I throw in a few cult bands. For the obscure music-hunters among us, today I am your servant…
The Chameleons, could’ve, would’ve and should’ve been big. They never were for some dark reason.
Second Skin;
The following band has a very interesting guitarist, but I’m not a big fan of all their work. Gang of four.
To hell with poverty
This is a little more my kind of song. Performed by the Kitchens of Distinction.
Drive that fast
The Stone Roses conclude my post with this rock anthem.
Love Spreads
One of the greatest punk/pop song’s ever written. Simple but honest. That about summarizes most of Eric’s work. There should be a tribute album out any time soon, so i’ll be keeping my eyes open for that one as well and report here a.s.a.p. .
A live version of the song;
Will ferrell givin’ it a go in the movie “Stranger than Fiction”.
