    I'm not necessarily a huge hardcore REM fan. I like the hits a lot, a couple of which are all time greats. But I was listening to this because my spotify suggested songs list played a cover (that I really didn't like) and I thought "surely there is a better cover version of this" which led me to the voice looped Ingrid Michaelson version and then to the Coldplay/Stipe version. Song is ok. I think it's meant to be "circular" like that structurally, but I can see where that might make it seem unfinished although it doesn't bother me too much.

    If I thought it sounded like Elton John I'd never listen to it (he said counter-culturally).

    I feel like there is a Charlie Peacock version of this with a kind of cool piano thing under it, but I can't find it on the interwebs. Vocal version still great.

    They translated the title! I knew I didn't imagine this.

    I really like this a cappella version. While the Peacock version is good too, I just like hearing the distinct voices without the distraction of the piano. Excellent find.

    Phil Spector dies at 81. Known as a hitmaker, for working with the Beatles early in his career, and for murdering Lana Clarkson later in life.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...der-dies-at-81

    Philles (Spectors' Music Company)had two No. 1 singles: “He’s a Rebel” by the Crystals, with Love as lead singer, in 1962 and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” by the Righteous Brothers in 1962. The Ronettes’ first single, “Be My Baby,” was No. 2 in 1963.

    Spector produced John Lennon’s single “Instant Karma” and was then asked by Lennon and George Harrison to work on the Beatles’ album “Let It Be,” released in 1970.
    Lennon collaborated with Spector on the “Imagine” album and three other solo releases. Harrison worked with him on the “All Things Must Pass” album and a live recording of “The Concert for Bangladesh,” the 1972 Grammy Award winner for album of the year.

    Known best (sarcasm) for his bit role as the drug dealer at the airport in Easy Rider.

    I think Harrison wasn't particularly fond of the "wall of sound" production on "All things must pass." I remember some interview with him and he was saying they worked and worked to get every note right and all the sounds as clean as possible, then could barely recognize what they had done when Phil got done with it.

    It's a couple of hundred years off, but I've been reading a book about the 14th century and listening to the soundtrack to Kingdom of Heaven some while I read (set in the 12th century). I mean, it's not the kind of music they'd have had back then either way, but still kind of sets the mood.

    Rammstein - Deutschland

    I'm not linking the video because it could be considered pretty graphic or NSFW. But it's an amazing video, and the song is pretty good. And, even though I don't understand German at all, it's pretty easy to get the "gist" of it (with the video especially).

    I figured I'd finally give Rammstein a shot after decades of hearing about them and being told to give them a try.

    Slightly different groove than Rammstein I think. But this is something I was listening to today.

    Their live shows are over the top. The lead singer has his pyro license, so he incorporates the pyro into his costumes. The Sehnsucht album was decent back in the day.
