Who Did it Better? “China Girl”
Ok this time I have a close one Iggy Pop’s “China Girl” vs. David Bowie’s version.
First Iggy Pop
Next David Bowie
Usually I am the first one to talk about David Bowie’s musical superiority over anyone, and this is no exception. Iggy’s version was raw and powerful and so was Bowie’s but he still made it his song.
Who Did it Better? “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”
Back with another song and this time I am going to put the Rolling Stones up to task against Otis Redding and Cat Power using their classic “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”
First up: The Rolling Stones
Next up: Otis Redding
Lastly: Cat Power
I am sticking with the Stones hands down on this one, I dig Ottis and Cat Power but when they were in their prime, in my view The Rolling Stones was the greatest rock band of all time.
Who to See: Neko Case or Tapes n’ Tapes
I was as going to go to the Tapes n’ Tapes concert at the Paradise on February 3, but instead I am considering going to go see Neko Case at the Wilbur. It is a tough decision actually I never saw either of them live and you never know what can happen, bands break up, Neko Case could not tour for another 5 years, stuff happens. I remember the first concert I was going to see was Elliott Smith, I ended up missing the show which turned out to be his last tour before he died. So I figured I would take this oppurtunity to occasionally take a look at who is playing at various places in Boston in a new feature “Who to See” . The idea is simple, you listen to a song from a couple of artist playing in the area on that date (date will be chosen based on who’s playing and how far in advance) and you decide who you would rather see.
First Up: Neko Case “People Got A Lotta Nerve”
Next: Tapes n’ Tapes “Insistor”
So let me know what you think!

From I’m Not A Musician:
Who Did it Better? “Maggie’s Farm”
Back with another song, this time I got about as polar opposites as you can get Bob Dylan and Rage Against the Machine doing Dylan’s classic “Maggie’s Farm”
First up, Bob Dylan
Next up, Rage Against the Machine
Although I appreciate Rage Against the Machine version, I am sticking with the original, this is the first song I would say the artist took a little too much creative liberties.
The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger “Schroedinger’s Cat”
This is the debut video for the song “Schroedinger’s Cat” by The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger who is made up of Sean Lennon (yes that Lennon) and Charlotte Kemp Muhl.
Who Did it Better? “Proud Mary”
Back with another edition of who did it better? and this time we are taking on th classic song “Proud Mary”
Bright Eyes – “Four Winds”
On Friday December 17 tickets go on sale for Bright Eyes on March 10 at the House of Blues, I bring this up for two reasons, one, I am a big Bright Eyes fan, but also for the past couple of years there have been rumors about Bright Eyes breaking up so Conor Oberst can concentrate on other projects. Will this be the final go around, maybe-maybe not, in any case I am hedging my bets and going, better to play it safe then miss out.
