Mainly music and 'Leonardo'
May. 2nd, 2003 08:40 pmLove Friday for music, even if it's either bad pop on Top of the Pops, and middling indie bands on Re: Covered
( Top of the Pops )
And then came Re:Covered, the basic premise of which is simple: 3 bands playing live doing one of their songs and a cover version.
This week - Reef doing 'Naked' and Sabbath's 'War Pigs' which is even better with a good singer. For those who haven't heard them, imagine the love-child of Free and old swamp-blues. They were doing the throwback retro blues way before it was popular and the stupid music press keep slating them. And they've been going ten years, shock!
- Harry doing her version of Imagination and Blondie's 'One Way Or Another'. In the great Harry debate I'm on the 'she's for real' side.
-And Athlete doing one of theirs called 'Rock Scene' and Prince's 'Kiss'. They are supposed to be this great young band. Trouble is they sound like a watered down Mercury Rev. (I like MR btw). And if you've got no sexy oomph you shouldn't be doing 'Kiss'.
