Covers

Normally covers, remakes or adaptations of any form of entertainment fail to live up to the originals in my eyes. I really hate a bad cover!
Sometimes though someone gets it oh so right and this time Mark Ronson has done just that. His take on the Smiths' classic "Stop me if you think you've heard this one before", adding a break beat and the unique voice of Daniel Merriweather, is an absolutely awesome track. 'Stop Me' rates as one of the very best tracks that I have heard recently; you can go to Mark's myspace page to listen to it and other tracks from his forthcoming album 'Version'. I hope you get on with it as much as I did.
I grew up with a wide range of influences on my taste in music, my eldest brother has a very definitive genre whereas my parents having grown up whilst the Beatles were in their pomp yet tempered with their families backgrounds have finer favourites. Ronson has appealed to a number of the different aspects of my view on music with this track and I will definitely be looking out for more.
