Mark Albrighton Posted June 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2022 Bit more of a curio this one. Phil Daniels, Gary Kemp and “The Tomorrow People” actor Mike Holoway performing “Sandman” by America in 1975. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just now, Seat68 said: What search took you to that? I was listening to a podcast about British sitcoms, one of the episodes was a quiz with several music rounds. Basically one host asking the other to work out which one of the actors in the sitcoms discussed was singing in the audio clip. That was one of them. Another was Wilfrid Brambell singing “The Decimal Song” in 1971. If you’ve never heard it, I guarantee that it sounds EXACTLY how you’re imagining it to sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2022 A prime example of the type of cover I'm not a fan of. Beck (an artist I like) covering the Neil Young (another artist I like) song Old Man This is just a straight cover, Beck trying to be like Neil young, it adds absolutely nothing to the original. It is spectacularly dull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is spectacularly dull Springsteen, who I love, has covered the northern soul track, do I love you. Which I also love. A needless and poor cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted October 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2022 Keeping with the theme: Elliot Smith doing a very good job of sounding like the Beatles for no obvious reason. All I can think of is that he obviously liked layering vocal tracks and he probably just had fun doing this one. It would certainly have been in character to do something because he enjoyed it with no concern about what others thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted October 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2022 Another Elliot Smith cover, of Big Star's Thirteen. Still similar to the original, but I like the pared down solo acoustic treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is spectacularly dull Beck sang 'My old man'? Learn something new everyday. Maybe when he used the lyric 'in the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey', he was talking about SHA?

OutByEaster? Posted October 27, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thirteen also works well in burnt out nineties hairy Evan Dando's sound voice. There's also a nice version of The Ballad of El Goodo out there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Babs Streisand covers Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. This new release is a performance that was recorded the year before her debut album. She's really good here, I actually toyed with buying it last light Keep it in mind if you're buying presents for Buble/Rieu fans this Christmas?
