AHK-toong BAY-bi
There's a pretty good album being included in Q tomorrow: various artists, including Nine Inch Nails, Damien Rice, Jack White, Patti Smith... covering the U2 album Achtung Baby, which is actually, I'm more and more confidently thinking, is a hell of an album. Some of the covers are great; more are poor; some are all right; but more importantly, they're all very interesting. You can stream all of them on the weblog Cover Me. The streaming widgits (or whatever they are) are spread over a number of posts:
The Killers do 'Ultraviolet (Light My Way)', Nine Inch Nails do 'Zoo Station', Depeche Mode do 'So Cruel'.
Damien Rice doing 'One'.
Jack White doing 'Love is Blindness'.
Garbage do 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?'
Patti Smith does 'Until the End of the World', Gavin Friday does 'The Fly', Snow Patrol do 'Mysterious Ways', The Fray do 'Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World', Glasvegas do(es?) 'Acrobat'.
