Robbie bashing!

Robbie Williams

Apparently the Danish dude who bring us his musical views thru his blog Hits In The Car has a problem with a former boyband member.

On the radio this morning I heard a song called Rudebox by a completely useless, no talented jackass called Robbie Williams. And the past few hours these two questions have been plaguing me. Why? WHY? Why do they give something this bad airplay on the radio? And why was he allowed to record the song (or any other song for that matter) in the first place?

Cover me: The Fairest Of The Seasons

Chelsea Girl

A new cover each week. And he calls it "52 Covers, 52 Weeks". Welcome to eric Metronome's idiosyncratic choice of covers, including The Fairest Of The Seasons written by Gregory Copeland and Jackson Browne and performed by Nico on her Chelsea Girl album.

This song was featured fairly recently in the wonderful Royal Tenenbaums film and soundtrack and after hearing it in that context I knew it was only a matter of time before I would record a version of it. It's just a beautiful little number framed in tradition and transition and it's context is not all that different from my own affair I suppose.
