I'd make some wiseguy remark about how you think this video features in your condemnation of my occasionally gay/kitsch musical tastes but it's Monday morning and my brain is mush.

yaya, are you calling vivaldi gay? :p

take this

Making Reggae versions of masterpieces sounds like a bad idea, but Easy Star All Stars make it work:


The also made cover versions of Dark Side of the Moon (Dub Side of the Moon) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band), but I'm less familiar with those albums, so the effect of hearing a different version is less big.

hmm, I'm more familiar with the two albums you didn't post than the ones you did. It's not bad for reggae.

not sure if I posted this before, but another example of the flexibility of reggae.

Skindred:

Do you have a link to the original? I'd like to compare the two.

I was pretty sure this was a cover, but I have no idea who the original was by. Some quick googling didn't turn up an answer. So... nope, no link to an original, sorry.

Here's a catchy tune from estonian artist.

I read 'catchy tune' and 'estonian' and was like... great.. it's like an Estonian Abba. I was wrong. It was worse. Much...much worse. It's like an Estonian Justin Bieber using autotune.

/me gives Peltz a hug

I didn't like it either. It was kind of like Eurovision but not so rushed.

All this made me think of Latvian Eurovision winners Brainstorm, which was a catchy pop diddly as well.



God I love Eurovision camp.

zomg that horrific. And the dude's English.... I thought he was singing in some jacked up language at first. But no, he's just butchering the shit out of English.

That's nothing brah, you should hear the majority of the Eurovision entries now that you're allowed to sing in any language you like (so usually English). Last year's winner was an 18-yr old German girl with a thick accent, check it:



She is a hottie though...which helps for considering it to be 'cute' instead of 'painful'.

lol @ gwar. Man they don't make them like that any more. It's all too serious now.

lolz @ the chick... jeez man, her voice is like an octave or two too deep. She's scary. BTW, shiny saw Gwar in concert a week or two ago. I couldn't go because of school.

Here's some more "softy" music from estonia

Haha, that was awesome. In a weird "bland pop tune I don't understand" kind of way. There isn't enough eurotrash on the radio these days anymore dammit!
