WHEN YOUR GRAVITY FAILS...

Abortive attempts at reviews are... Well, not going anywhere fast. Hence, instead, two songs that've caught my attention recently:

First up, Guitar Slim's The Things That I Used To Do. I don't wanna heap ridiculous praise on this'n, or ruin the song for you by jabbering on about how it makes me feel, but just know that as far as I'm concerned it's pretty much perfect. (If you're up for a laugh, however, SRV's hilariously overblown version will provide.)



...And Lisa Hannigan's fantastic cover of Dylan's Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues. Again, understated and perfect. Reworking Dylan is a pretty finicky art, but I think Ms. Hannigan just about nails it. And she has a gorgeous voice.



Enjoy.

LATE EDIT:

This is fucking BOSS. A remix that totally twists Foals' Spanish Sahara out of all recognition, and yet is still imbued with awesome. All cut up and funky and with a lovely little bassline, like. Czech it out:
