Connections, Some New Ones and Some Old Ones

I love seeing how things connect, how everything connects. That's how my brain works. That's why I love cover works.

My latest Elliott Smith loved song:

Led me to the origin:

That linked to a cover by Wilco. I find it disapointing though:

And this last cover by Garbage. It's all Garbage-styled,  is cute but redundant..:

My favourite version is the Elliott Smith one... surprisingly.

My Elliott Smith temporary obsession almost makes my other obsession go unnoticed. Silverchair. They disbanded this week. Their album Diorama (2002) is one of those album that each song captures you, gets to you hard. They have a sense for drama, even theatrical sense, and i really appreciate that. Reminds me a little of Pain Of Salvation. The music is smart, refreshing and beautifully melodic, and the vocals are excellent. The sort of songs i can't stop singing all day.

And this song is extremely cool, well done everything:

Of what I've heard by now, Incubus' new album If Not Now, When? sounds maturer, as prompted, but keeps the band's forever-young style. There are some surprises there, and some promising hits, like Isadore:

Some groovy 60's band to finish, Blind Faith. So fine!
