Cool.
Paulo is a big deal these days. Good to see he has more than an awareness of Love. |

I love how some of those fools who were posting were saying things like "this may be better than the original", or "its such a jumpy song with great sad lyrics....I love Paulo".
My, oh my. |

Paolo covered AAO in his recent concerts and had kids in Glasgow saying ' oh I know that one, my parents play it all the time'

I havn't heard of this track and really don't want to hear it. Is it just me who finds Nutini rather offensive the way a young scottish white guy puts on a fake jamaican accent to sing? I just don't get why his rubbish is so popular but suspect it's the usual thing that people prefer their 'black' music sung by white people, it's been going on since Elvis Presley and before. |

I'm glad he is paying respect to a great band. The more publicity for Love the better. Although I am no fan Mr. Nutini at all, he is doing his thing, and there is no stopping him it appears. So...well give Love a nod. |

Although,
On another note, but similar I guess. I sometimes have a hard time listening to other people do songs by Love or Arthur Lee. It feels as if his music and Love's as a whole was so unique that it simply should not be translated. Like Fela Kuti or something. Wild.
I most recently heard Alice Cooper's version of 7&7 Is, and I hated it. Oh my gosh it really was not good to me.
Its great though that people are paying their respects. |

I always loved The Bangles' version of Seven and Seven Is - I've posted a link to the studio recording before - but the only one I can find on Youtube now is this live in Holland version. It's not at all bad:

I must admit that I do like the way some 80s bands interpreted some of the great songs from the 60s West Coast....often lending quite a 'gothic'and otherworldly feel to them. |

Cool.
I will listen to The Bangles version on Lala. A great website by the way if you are not hip to it. Also Skreemr.com is a great place to check out music.

Yeah, that's a good one. It's an obvious cover for them but I'm very fond of Calexico's 'alone again or'

Electric Prunes does a great cover of "7 & 7 Is"
....a slow psych tune from around 2002.

Smack Dab's cover of "Bummer in the summer" on the Love tribute
We're all normal and we want our freedom
is pretty appalling
Most of that tribute is appalling actually. Not as bad a tribute
as the Beatles tribute Come Together, or the wretched
Brittle Days (dreadful Nick Drake tribute) but pretty ghastly
Yep, whether its Teenage Fanclub doing an unrecognizable cover
of "Maybe the people would be the times"
or the baby girl tones of Smack Dab rendering Bummer
comatose, We're All Normal And We Want Our Freedom is THERE
Surprised Arthur endorsed it in the liner notes. Appalling really. Simply ghastly
Any good Love tributes out there? for Gods sake! |

Shack always used to do a good version of 'A House is not a Motel', live at least. Think I have a studio version somewhere, I'll try and find it.
Meantime Here's a Love tribute for you Joe:
Love are the best group ever.

I can't think which song you mean when you mention 'Cockney'.
Shack are a band from Liverpool (made up of the Head brothers) who are huge 'Love' fans and made an album with Arthur, Live in Liverpool 1992.
http://www.amazon.com/Live-Liverpool-Arthur-Lee/dp/B00004TF1O
Sadly, though I am rather fond of the band as musicians their music has been rather overshadowed by their fondness for illegal substances |

Paolo Nutini Alone Again Or
