yeah that madder rose cover is nice. The original is so frenzied, so slowing it down actually reveals something new.

bedhead were mentioned a couple times upthread. their cover, with macha, of cher's "believe" is my ur-NISVOPS:

it's important that it arrived during the height of the napster era, when music blogs were coming into their own, as this sort of thing is so emblematic of the internet era. and i can't think of a clearer example of "indie" artists subversively reinterpreting a "mainstream" pop song to expose something (supposedly) hidden within. that implied underground vs. overground narrative seems a bit archaic now.

^ which puts it at the intersection of old and new modes. appropriate, i suppose, for a song released in y2k.

with that subversive meaning gone, the practice has taken on a schlocky, talent show sort of quality.

That ILX dude's cover of GG Allin's "I Kill Everything I Fuck" was the best example of this.

Hmm well posting the url was supposed to work. Version of The Stallion Pt. 3 which I like.

this stuff is insufferable and by now past the point of saturation. if it isn't a superhero movie with a slowed down Leonard Cohen song it's a new TV show with a Pixies cover or something. it's like the sincere form of muzak.
