Weezer seem to be good at doing covers. Here is Aha's 80s smash hit Take On Me - complete with rotoscoping :D

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Not so much 'different'

Stardate - 1989. Chris Rea has probably his best known hit The Road To Hell.

6 years later Tom Principato covers it with lots of guitar distorsion

I really dont know what to make of this one. Its Robbie William's new xmas tune - but it most definitely samples the Robinson Crusoe tv series theme from the 1960s!

Not really a keeper. Celebrating his Man Friday passed almost three weeks ago


Perhaps next year.

It was on TV a year or so after I was born

Brilliant! Amazing sounds.

I'm ashamed to say that although I had heard of a hurdy-gurdy (I'm old enough to remember Donovan's single) I didn't know what one looked like.

If we take a trip to Dinan in the summer (not really recommended as it can be tourist central) there's an older gentleman who busks with a hurdy gurdy in the medieval centre..
