Too high to get over, too low to get under
Several weeks back, before my dance set started at Sev and Ethan's reception, one of their picks for the "family hasn't left yet / let's try to be a bit mainstream" set that preceded it was Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". I don't give a rat's flaming diseased ass what people think about MJ's eventual slide into Cthuloid mutant squickmeister; that song kicks major, major ass, and the dance floor was hoppin'. But DID YOU KNOW that there is an absolutely sublime acappella version by a group called spiralmouth? Listen... and swoon. To add to the fun, for those of you who missed it months ago, here's a repost of spiralmouth's equally badass Beatles cover, and a nice phat cover of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. Yes, it's all acappella. From spiralmouth's self-titled album on Hot Lips Records.
spiralmouth - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
spiralmouth - Come Together
spiralmouth - Closer
These and other fine, fine tracks can be heard on Comfort Radio. See you next week.
