What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?
Albums? Albums... oh yes, I remember them.
It's very rare that I play albums more than a few times these days. I rarely play them enough to get to that point where I know lots of the words and then eventually get sick of it. A few plays and it disappears into the general iTunes morass of randomised playing.
The only album I've played over and over in the past few months has been 'The Last Brontosarus' by Jacob Borshard, which is downloadable for free from his site. Really recommended if you like Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura and other "twee" tunes.
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Oh well, I suppose I should try posting something to this thing, although I'm not sure why I'd need another place to write stuff. If it takes Questions of the Day to get people to write then maybe they shouldn't be writing...
Anyway... I've got 342 songs in my iTunes "Covers" playlist. Picking from the ones I've rated 5/5...
My favourite covers tend to change the atmosphere of a record, and if I was going to pick a single favourite on that basis it'd probably come from this lot:
But then there are also covers that pick up the original, slap racing stripes on the side and make it GO GO GO:
There, is the world a better place for me posting that?
