Re: CC GRAND FINAL- Match 5
B makes me wanna reach for my ol' John Kongos album.
For anyone who doesn't love Elvis Costello like I do, A might be a bit much to take, but I love every second of this version.

Re: CC GRAND FINAL- Match 5
Unless there's a hell of a justification for it, if the writer is involved with the production in any way, it's not a cover. And A is a bit obvious, obviously.
B is just OK, but certain standards must be upheld.

Re: CC GRAND FINAL- Match 5
I don't like A's song or the way Costello sings it. Very dull.
B isn't the Mondays at their best, but it has a certain swaggering groove and is a very effective cover.

Awful thing when that happens. I had a similar experience at a Tom Jones concert.

Re: CC GRAND FINAL- Match 5
Oh, I love both. Costello brings a bite to that song that doesn't exist in any other version, while the Mondays track remains bags of fun, vastly overplayed as it is. Umm.

Re: CC GRAND FINAL- Match 5
Elvis's drummer really reminds me of someone, I'm not sure if it's an aging Gary Busey, but I've got a nagging sensation that there was a fairly successful British actor who looks like that. Nothing much to say about the song, Elvis is a very boring musician, and this is a very Saturday evening light entertainment cover of a fairly dull song.
The Happy Mondays are also one of the most boring bands I've seen live, supporting the even more dreadful Oasis at Bolton's Meadowbrook Arena. I know it was some time after their peak, but I was really stunned by how tedious they were, I expected fireworks or shambolic catastrophe, and got fucking Travis. I'd like to vote against it for obviousness (or for the fact that no-one sees this as a great cover, but discovered it was a cover later), but there's no doubting it's a better track than its source.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

The other EC sounds OK but I can't vote against the loose limbedness of the Mondays here....
