I WANNA BE YOUR COVER! #3 O nome da nossa seção de covers mudou mas a proposta continua a mesma: apresentar grandes reinvenções de trabalhos de artistas que você curte e que costuma acompanhar por aqui! Na seção desta sexta, destaque para uma versão sensacional do Scissor Sisters pra clássica "Take Me Out" , do Franz Ferdinand (que certamente você já ouviu em alguma finaleira da Freak! ) e para as étnicas "Rock The Casbah" , do The Clash , revisitada pelo franco-argelino Rachid [...]
Canadian hottie Stephanie Lapointe revisiting Eileen's French version of These Boots are Made for Walking . You watch the video. You check the mp3, for sale in the Canadian iTunes store. You listen close: the mp3 sounds flat. As badly mastered as the sound in the Youtube-video (the song was done for Canadian tv-show Les Rescapés ). There are words for this: Odd. Cheap. Shameful. Rip-off. All of those word apply. But seeing Steph in a short dress and cowboyboots... so nice. So we'll let is pass. This time. Our Canadian correspondent Ralph send great [...]
![Spider Bags – "Teenage Eyes" b/w "Eileen" – Odessa Records [Lucky 7-inch]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2268789_lg.jpg)
S pider Bags - "Hey Delinquents" MP3 Titus Andronicus - "Waking Up Drunk" MP3 (Spider Bags cover) I wasn't even going to review this "7-inch" (I put 7-inch in quotes because all I have is a 2-song CD-r) ... I planned on giving it a cursory listen, dismissing it, and moving on to something else. Well, that didn't happen because Spider Bags ' "Teenage Eyes," not to mention the b-side, "Eileen," are [...]

DJ Sterrenmix from Deventer, Holland, goes all ooh-aah on us, in the final winning entry of the Filles Fragiles giveaway : I didn't know which one to choose. Claudine Longet singing her accent-laden rendition of Let's spend the night together, or something by the Sissi-like romantique of Frida Boccara? Another fave is the lovely ditty Ces bottes sont faites pour marcher by Eileen (idd, a version of Nancy's These boots…). Hear the erotic tones when she pronounces "Yeah" (0:49) or "Ha" (1:48). But going for just one choice, as mr. Guuzbourg asked for, [...]

Earlier this week I discovered a French band called the Plastiscines thanks to a tip from a friend. They're an all-female rock quartet out of Paris whose influences "include the White Stripes, the Strokes and, from an earlier generation, the Kinks and Blondie. Their name derives from the phrase "plasticine porters with looking glass ties," from the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." They've just released their debut album titled LP1 this year. Thinking the Plastiscines had a pretty cool sound, I figured I'd use them [...]
