This is something really interesting to listen to. A very nice arrangement, changing at least 50% of how it sounded originally, yet kinda hit the spot. Their frontwoman, Hannah Scanlon's voice and style is hauntingly unique.
Dem yuh!

Stereophonics Live in KL
So this one group (or company) (or movement) called THIS FEELING is bringing what is being claimed as 'one of the best live bands in Britain', alongside Coldplay and Muse, that is Stereophonics.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of them, but what the hell, I'd go for the show. KL is too boring with no real entertainment. Why? Read HERE.
Watch couple of their videos.

Maybe Tomorrow
This is a cover song they did at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. It's a song by Foo Fighters - Best Of You.
It's just less than two weeks away, and to make this more interesting, the first 500 tickets will be sold at EARLY BIRDS rate (RM78), then the price will go to the normal price (RM118). What are you waiting for?

Cool Covers: Kanye West - Stronger
I am super busy at the moment. I have like tonnes of projects I need to work on in advance, so that I can have my end-of-year getaway without any interruption. I'm juggling every work I have on my plate in hoping that I'll be a better worker and a better person. Like, much better than who and what I am now.
Well I don't wanna dwell into that now.
I can't think of anything good to write now. Mind's been thinking about work, and some personal matters. Might as well share some good music on a Thursday afternoon.
Cool covers.
This time, it's a song by Kanye "The Louis Vuitton Don" West - Stronger.

Poyo lah kau ni mamat.The song was originally made by Daft Punk - Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger.
Memang gila stylo dua ekor mamat ni.Daft Punk made electro dance music to that song.
Kanye West made electro/hip-hop/R&B to that song.
Recently (but not so recent), 30 Seconds To Mars, led by jambu-faced frontman Jared Leto, did a total awesome remake on the Stronger song. Yes, it was done at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge with Jo Whiley.

Men are from Mars.I can't write longer, I need to get back to my works. Listen to all three versions, and tell me what you think.
Remember, be open to new ideas.

Let's get lost tonight.
And lastly, this is the one done by 30 Seconds To Mars.
Fucking cool, isn't it?
See, if we just be creative and open up. Enjoi.

Cool Covers: Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
People who evolve from one's originality of own thought, expression or imagination: CREATIVE.
People who make changes in anything established: INNOVATIVE.
I admire BOTH.
This time, I want to introduce a sub-topic of my blog, which I call it Cool Covers. It doesn't have to be strictly music, but can also be arts, or writings, or anything. Why is it called "Cool Covers"? Because the word "Covers" usually referred in music as a form of another party playing/performing/singing someone else's song. It can be a straight-forward cover, a re-make, re-mix, re-arrange or improvise. The word "Cool" of course refers to what I believe is cool to me. If it's cool to you too, then good. Great minds think alike. If not, then you have all the rights to disagree. I can't expect you to have the same taste in life like mine, obviously because my life ain't like yours.
At the moment, I will post more on music.
Another thing, the idea of "Cool Covers" is not to judge who or which one is better. It's under different categories. To compare CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE is IRRELEVANT. The songs chosen as cover versions are often from a completely different genre to that which the performer originates, and offer a new perspective on the original songs, mostly in acoustic set up. So the idea here is to give a different perspective (I love this word), to get the artists/performers out of their comfort zone and to see how far they're willing to take the challenge.
As for today, I want to officially start this special section. Actually I did post something about BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge before, check it out HERE.
Today, I chose a song by Kings of Leon - Use Somebody. I think many of you have listened to this song before. It's a nice pop-rock song, jiwang-jiwang gitu. I like it too he he he.

I personally think they're both HOT! Well, my vote goes to Miss Lott though *grin*
So, what do you think?
Okay, let me help you out. In order for you to get used to my idea is that, you need to open up a bit. You need to let loose of yourself, have no expectation and try to relate as to how the cover is done by respective singer/band. It might be boring, it might be dull, it might be off but at the end of the day, you will get more ideas of how other people take something. There are no boundaries (soundtrack by Kris Allen - No Boundaries).
Comments are welcomed. Thank you.
