Beck’s version of INXS’ “New Sensation”

Beck has a side project called “Record Club”. I’ve heard some of their other covers, but the INXS stuff was new to me.

I always loved “New Sensation”. They’ve given it a different sound. The actual cover starts at around 1:14. (I started the video at that point for you. That’s the kind of guy I am.)

I’m not really sure how I feel about these yet. But I felt the need to share.

And here’s a few other INXS cover he/they’ve done.

“Devil Inside”:

“Need You Tonight”:

“Guns In The Sky”:

INXS fans, what say you?

Until next time...

Ain’t No Son

Emily Robison and Martie Maguire from the Dixie Chicks will be releasing new music this spring under the name Court Yard Hounds.

Yea!

I love the Dixie Chicks, so I’m curious to see how the sisters do sans Natalie Maines. (I know, technically they were together BEFORE Natalie was part of the Chicks, back when they had a different lead singer, but still.)

The girls are definitely sticking to their guns with writing music covering topical and taboo subjects. Here’s one of the songs off the album, called “Ain’t No Son”.

“Ain’t No Son” by the Court Yard Hounds

I’ve got something to say
I’m scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am
Come what may our blood is all the same
I’m still your little man

He said you ain’t no son to me
You ain’t no son to me
Eight pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain’t no son of mine
You ain’t no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls there ain’t no use in trying
Don’t expect to get my love for free
And don’t blame me

Well this ain’t no fun for me
This ain’t no fun for me
Oh boys should be boys
That’s how it should be
You ain’t coming home
No you ain’t coming home
Til you walk the straight line
You’ll be out on your own
Don’t expect to save your soul for free
When you’re the one who turned your back on me

Aren’t you a sight to see
Yeah, you’re a sight to see
What you call freedom makes you look like a freak
You must get around
Cause it sure got around
Don’t you know that I can’t show my face in this town
Don’t think I’m gonna get you up off of me
When you’re the one who turned your back on me
Stranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don’t know what to say
So I’ll put you away
This time I won’t leave a trace
I’ll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
I put you away

He said you ain’t no son to me
You ain’t no son to me
Eight pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain’t no son of mine
You ain’t no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls there ain’t no use in trying
Don’t expect to get my love for free
When you’re the one who turned your back on me
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you

Been there. Maybe I should write about that someday.

Oh, and I preordered their CD. Based off the music on their website and their performance at SXSW 2010, I’ll love it.

UPDATE: I find it curious that they went with Sony Music Entertainment, especially after the long court battle they had as the Dixie Chicks with Sony. I guess there’s only so many record companies out there these days….
