busy? heavens no!

but never to busy to chuckle. i stumbled over this and it made me smile. click on it to see it bigger and chuckle as well.

but, in regards to the title, obviously, i’m being sarcastic. especially considering during the last week, i’ve been RATHER busy, ‘flat out’ some would say. But that may leave you wondering, why haven’t i posted since valentines day? MORE than a week ago? I HAVEN’T HAD MY DOSE OF CRUSTT! deep breath, i understand your frustration. allow me to explain.

take cover! vol. 2

so considering the big day out is now less than a day away (!) i thought the best candidate for a take cover! was an artist on the bill. and even better would be one i haven’t spouted about yet!

but sadly, when looking through my music library, i was stumped to find one that fitted the above requirements. so i decided SHOVE IT, i’ll do something else instead. thankfully, i stumbled across this.

ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80′s | CALVIN HARRIS

this is the original track, which has everything you want in a decent dance track. its catchy, has a ‘harsh tasty beat’ and lyrics that make no sense. i got love for you if you were born in the 80′s/ i got hugs for you if you were born in the 80′s. ohhh yeah. hopefully i get a peek at mr harris, his sets supposedly ‘go off’. i like that. but back to the track in question – its damn infectious and pretty much a dance-floor filler. as distinct from the cover.

ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80′s | EDITORS

a total backflip no? from harris’ electro-grooves, to this dark, almost JOY DIVISION-ESQUE dirge. EDITORS have successfully turned a bubblegum track into something ominous that almost sounds like a murder-ballad of some kind. i think it’s all to do with mr tom smith’s voice, which is a VERY impressive adaptation of mr ian curtis’s tortured baritone.

i applaud EDITORS for their excellent work in transforming the original into a nearly new track. that’s what covers SHOULD be all about.
