Some more covers for you all
Well, I know these have been posted before, but I figure that you might like to hear these if you haven’t before…
First up, my support of Lightspeed Champion this year annoyed a few folks, but I stand by it, especially when he does covers as good as these…
Lightspeed Champion -Back To Black (Amy Winehouse cover).’ mp3
Lightspeed Champion -‘Xanadu (Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra cover).’ mp3
Endearingly shambolic, and a wonderful version:
Raincoats -‘Lola (The Kinks cover).’ mp3
I was passed this cover by the record company, proof that some record companies areawa

Alabama 3 -‘Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover).’ mp3
Another cover of a post-punk era song:
Belle and Sebastian -‘Final Day (Young Marble Giants cover).’ mp3
I spent ages trying to track this down. Cheers to Steve at Teenage

Kicks, hope your blog is up and running again soon, mate!
Cud -‘You Sexy Thing (Hot Chocolate cover).’ mp3
Proof that great songs DO get to no.1, Rihanna’s Umbrella topped the UK charts last year for ten weeks, spawning these two covers. If anyone has an mp3 of her collaborating with the Klaxons doing a mash-up of ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Golden Skans’ please email me and I will post it here.
Biffy Clyro -‘Umbrella (Rihanna cover).’ mp3
Manic Street Preachers -‘Umbrella (Rihanna cover).’ mp3
The greatest ever Scots band take on one of America’s greatest bands, and do them justice.
Delgados -‘California Uber Alles (Dead Kennedys cover).’ mp3
There are apparently folk who do not like this cover. They are idiots. That is a fact, not an opinion:
Slits -‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine(Marvin Gaye cover).’ mp3
2008 -The best so far?
Another, oh five months or so, and everyone’ll be making their lists of the best of the year.
As 17 Seconds progresses, I have heard about seventy new albums this year alreadt, as well as masses of tracks, and face the task of trying to put it all in order for the end of the year. It does feel like it’s been a good decade for music so far, in fact; BTW did the nineties ever go through a phase of being out or was it accepted that it had been pretty good overall? There have been one or two rubbish albums -I never want to hear the Black Mountain album again,

frankly, but there has been some great stuff.
Anyway, this is a Top 10 tracks of the year so far for me:
1. Wedding Present – ‘The Trouble With Men.’ mp3
2. MGMT – ‘Time To Pretend.’ mp3
3. Santogold – ‘My Superman.’ mp3
4. Jamie Lidell -‘Another Day.’ mp3
5. Kills -‘Cheap and Cheerful.’ mp3
6. Dom DeLuca -‘Birds Of Worry.’ mp3
7. Hayman Watkins Trout and Lee -‘Sly and the Family Stone.’ mp3
8. Vampire Weekend -‘The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance.’ mp3
9. Neon Neon -‘I Lust U.’ mp3
10.Rustie -‘Mic Of The Year.’ mp3
See what you make of it, comments welcome, but do not assume that it will be the same come December. Oh, and anyone who thinks that there is only ever white middle class indie boys with guitars on this blog is not paying attent

A few covers for you
Next week, 17 Seconds will celebrate its’ second birthday, which is something I will be celebrating. However, it is also mine and Mrs. 17 Seconds’ first wedding anniversary -and no, marrying was not something we did to mark the first anniversary.
As well as pushing much new

stuff at readers, I’ve also enjoyed posting cover versions on here. These have varied from the painfully obvious to the almost violently obscure. So, proud of the fact that this blog has managed to last this far, I will repost a few here:
First up, the 1984 4AD album It’ll End In Tears, put out by label founder Ivo Watts-Russell as This Mortal Coil, had some classic cover versions that became known as songs in their own right.
This Mortal Coil – ‘Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley cover).’ mp3
This Morta

This Mortal Coil – ‘Kangaroo (Big Star cover).’ mp3
The Sisters of Mercy have done two different versions of Hot Chocolate’s song ‘Emma.’ The first was a Peel session from 1984, the second appeared on rei-issued versions of their second album

The Wedding Present have done some good cover versions over the years, including Orange Juice’s ‘Felicity,’ Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel’s ‘Come Up snd See Me (Make Me Smile), and a dozen that were the b-sides to their a single a month run back in 1992. This was recorded for 6Music, I believe, the only Take That song I’d want to let near my blog:
Wedding Present – ‘Back For Good (Take That cover).’ mp3
The Breeders rock utterly, and apparntly their debut Pod contained this excellent cover of a Beatles’ number:
The Breeders -‘Happiness Is A Warm Gun (The Beatles cover).’ mp3
There may well be more to follow, so keep your eyes peeled…

d am coming ot the conclusion that whilst it was the year punk broke in the UK, that there was good non-punk music released that year. This list gives an idea. After all, it was the year of Dylan’s Desire LP, which may well be my favourite Dylan album (yes, even above Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde and Blood On The Tracks) and Bowie’s Station To Station, as the man moved to Berlin, listened to Kraftwerk who were about to invent the eighties a few years before they happened, and prepared for being involved in no less than four key LPs of 1977. Bob Marley continued his rise as Roxy went on hiatus. In Ireland and the UK, Thin Lizzy hit the big time. Disco and Punk were not being mixed in at this point, but they were happening and it’s probably quite accurate that this was the year was the quiet before the storm. I may only have been there for the last six weeks of it, but galvanised by punk, this was the year that The Clash, U2, The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees played their first gigs, and my world is still reverberating from that and the aftershock

d at golf, or that the Williams’ sisters are rather good on the tennis court: an understatement that doesn’t begin to get to grips with the facts. Quite simply, on the evidence of these songs he is one of the best. And you can quote me.
Bradley’s solo debut is a collection of twelve songs that shows a range of skills and twelve fantastic songs that reflect a wide range of influences. This Edinburgh-based man, who has travelled the world and been steeped in music from a very young age writes beautiful songs, but they are not predictable. This is not an album that takes one song and gives you a dozen more on a similar and rapidly diminishing theme. Rather, chord changes, lyrics and a vocal range that reminds me of Jeff Buckley’s in range, if no

Last year he was invited by Riley Briggs to join Scottish institution Aberfeldy, which he accepted, adding yet another string to his bow. Briggs’ brother Murray features on drums on two tracks here, as does ‘feldy bandmate Ken McIntosh, and the original ‘feldy drummer Ian Stoddart.
