This is not a review of the Horrors gig I went to on Sunday (since you ask, it was very good - noisy in just the right way) but a post where I want to share something horrible. Normally I'd like to only mention good music on this blog, but there is lots of bad music out there too - and sometimes I feel almost compelled to focus on that fact. That is for example when bad music attacks good music. I just came across this - a fresh example of what I'm talking about:
That's Sugarbabes covering Florence & the Machine. Gone is the sheer force of Florence Welch's insisting vocals, the heavy drums and the incredible energy of the original and instead we get a weird, look-how-much-soul-we-got version complete with congas and three anonymous girl group vocals. This isn't the worst cover I've ever heard but I think it's both quite weak and pretty boring, which isn't at all what I would label the original song with.
What is much, much, much worse, though, is this:
Cascada has commited many crimes to music over the years, but for me this is the worst. 'Because The Night' is a fantastic pop song - especially in Patti Smith's version - and I don't really feel like I need to say more. Listen to Cascada's version, then Patti's and if you don't find the existence of Cascada's version incredibly sad afterwards, I'm afraid you have no soul.
