Wow. Fantastic Cover. Maintains essence of song while making it completely diffferent. Reminds me of NYE 2007 when I saw Gnarls Barkley preform all the tracks of St. Elsewhere with completely different instramentals provided by a live band (including 4 violinists, 2 guitarists, a bassist and I belive a horn blower).

I love hearing something loved, become something new.

i didn’t post an MJ song today for a bunch of reasons but I couldn’t resist reblogging this. MJ’s gifts to the world will be remixed and sampled for years to come. Just like this.

My roommate Brian Jacobs pointed out the timing of Discovery’s album release in a couple of weeks, which contains this cover of Jackson 5’s I Want You Back.

BTW, here’s a good guide to legally selling downloads of cover songs.
