Something Shiny

It starts stronger than it finishes, but all in all works surprisingly well. If it doesn’t piss you off, there’s a whole album of similar covers including The Eagles, Nirvana, and others to track down. Search for “Rockfluence.”

I’d forgotten how very great this cover by Tori Amos of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirt was/is.

Granted, it came for me at that time in my life when I was affected deeply by nearly everything I heard, and most everything from this genre/era “brings me back.” But dang, it really is good.

For that matter, the whole Crucify single/EP was excellent. If you like the song embedded above, I highly recommend checking out the rest of the single/EP.

Here’s a little Wednesday morning pick-me-up. It’s quick, so don’t blink (or whatever the aural version of blinking is).

Enjoy Molly’s Lips from Nirvana.
