sgnp - I liked Roisin Murphy in Moloko, but I think I like her better in this song.
sgnp - I like it when Subtle does this.
sgnp - Subtle and Beck combine to create a Voltron-like superaudiogiant that surpasses the sum of its parts.
sgnp - Someone needs to do a cover of this and do it straight. If I get good enough on the banjo, that person may be me.
sgnp - Paul Anka covers are all over, but I contend that "Mr. Brightside" completely sounds like it could be a standard. The name, the lyrics. Perfect.
sgnp - Pat Boone doing Holy Diver feels almost like I'm cheating. It's like picking on the kid with the broken glasses. Still. Worth it.
