And I have no 360. And lots of people are starting to talk and blog and Twitter about it and IT'S ABSOLUTELY KILLING ME. Partly that's because I want to see what it's like and blow an entire night of sleep unlocking the last le...

John Cale - Hallelujah

So as promised last week - another cover version that I not only think is better than the original. For me that's a group that includes, amongst others, "All along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix and slightly more obscurely, Faith No More's versi...

Nirvana- Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live)

There are very few songs where the cover is better than the original - I have a list in my head, as I'm sure do you, and in all probability they don't match up. And, you know what? I'm ok with that. I really am. I'm not even sure that this count...

Sid Vicious - My Way (Complete & uncut) ELO - Showdown (1973)

Apparently, in January 1978, Wings' mawkish sentimentfest "Mull of Kintyre" was the Christmas number 1, to be replaced on the 4th of February by one-hit-wonder "Up Town top Ranking" by Althia and Donna. Over in the US the Sex Pistols played their...

Underworld - Born Slippy .NUXX

When most people say "Born Slippy" they actually mean "Born Slipp .NUXX" which, although it's a remix (appearing as a b-side on the original "Born Slippy" single) sounds, well, completely different. And has vocals. Shouty, anthemic vocals just be...

Yoda in Soul Calibur spartan vs samus

That narrow *cough* overlap between beat-em-up fans and Star Wars fans are going to be squeeing into their bowls of marshmallow flecked cheeriholes this morning because Saul Calibur is going to contain Yoda (360) and Darth Mouthbreather (PS3) as ...

Utah Saints - Something Good Kate Bush Cloudbusting

Described by Bill "KLF" Drummond as "the first true stadium house band" you've got to love the sheer ninetiesness of the Utah Saints. Look at this video - it's pure greebo. The undercuts, the ratty dreads, the long sleeve tshirts, the dancing, the...
