Love Lloyd Cole & The Commotions. Loved Television. This is their love child.

Brian Eno gets a lot of credit for this track but Robert Fripp should do also. Here is the KC version.

Not strictly a cover of The Four Tops’ original * as the lyric is replaced by a Bragg dialogue about unrequited and then unwanted affection, but as I love it, it gets a run out here…

*Queue some pedant or Fowllyd telling me that it was originally recorded by The Left Banke - but Bragg’s homage was to The Four Tops’ version.

If you are going to cover a song…

I think you’ll find that should be " Cue some pedant…"

Field Music do Pet Shop Boys…

Fab cover of one of the Zim’s greatest songs by K T Tunstall. Nice to see Julian Assange on the keyboards too.

A few I like but don’t have the time to attach videos: Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson Changes - 2pac Whole Lotta love - Goldbug Cold as Ice - MOP Baker Street - Foo Fighters Voodoo People - Pendulum Professional Widow - Armand Van Helden Koochy - Armand Van Helden It’s like that - Jason Nevin’s remix I suppose it’s where you draw the line with sampling and covers.
