Covers of the Pixies's Where Is My Mind

Which one's your favourite?

Jorge & Alexa Narvaez cover "Home"

You're probably one of the 5,631,505 viewers who have already seen this during the month. But if not, enjoy- it's easily my favourite cover of this magnificent song. I've been resisting the urge to post this for the entire two weeks since I'd seen it, but it looks like the cuteness tore through my defences.

My point about sound and lighting.


I have this thing for drummers... yeah, Abe!

Commence the singing screeching

I mentioned it a week ago in this post, so I figured I'd record it. I am using sheet music for this one, and as you can see there's a page turn mishap in the final stretch.

U2 Cover on Disturbed's Latest Album

(Skip to 1:35). As much as I think this is hilarious, I'm really growing to like it. For me, it's much more listenable than the original. David Draiman's rough vocals sound almost joyous atop vibrato riffs. I walked into the Eaton Centre's HMV on Monday hoping to get the record, but couldn't find a deluxe version. (buy Asylum on iTunes) This version also contains several live recordings of earlier singles.

Me: "Do you know if this Asylum is the same as the iTunes version?"
Employee: "Um..."
Me: "Cause I know they did a cover of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", and it's ridiculous."

I just got a blank stare. Favourite track: "The Infection".

The album is rather mainstream, completely departing from their Down With The Sickness days. As an owner of Ten Thousand Fists, I can say that mainstream Disturbed gets tired after a few listens; I left the regular edition on the shelf and spent my money on a new outfit. It also happened to be Brazilian Day, so I joined the festivities on a closed Yonge Street.
