Never been a fan of cover versions and probably never will be. But from time to time a few interesting do come along and (my) childhood heroes OMD covering The xx certainly wasn’t something I saw coming. Isn’t the normal procedure that new upcoming bands cover songs by bands they’ve been influenced by? And not the other way round? But nice for a change! Although OMD has labeled it “rough mix”, their cover of VCR sounds like it could easily be a lost track from one of their recording sessions 30 years ago. Doesn't it?
OMD - VCR (rough mix)
All words in this blog are written by me. It’s a blog about music. A music blog! About music that I like and artists I care for. Things have to be relevant to me. Not necessarily to anyone else. I’m Danish. I live in Denmark. I write at a lot about Danish music. And a lot about foreign music as well. Artists and labels not afraid of sharing music are the coolest. In the past I’ve been getting invaluable recommendations from José Antonio (J.A.) and Rodolfo; and still do! Big thanks to Steven of Letters Have No Arms! for designing the previous banner! Thanks to Ryan of Rikers for creating the current one! Songs for download are sometimes uploaded by me. But only when I have received permission from the artists/labels OR the songs are legally available for free elsewhere.

glad you like the blog Alba, but not sure what you mean with "playmode"?
Chris - The xx are cool ;-)
kommer du fra danmark? Synes jeg har sett det en plass? I så fall prøver jeg å forklare hva jeg mente med "playmode" siden jeg ikke vet hva ordet for det er på norsk en gang!
Det jeg mente var hvordan får du til å lime inn den musikk avspillings programmet på bloggen? det programmet som du har for å kunne spille av denne sangen? skjønte du det nå, eller? heh
