The Streets – The Escapist
The Streets’ new single The Escapist has been released as a free download and it’s definitely worth getting hold of. It’s got a lot more in common with Dry Your Eyes than Don’t Mug Yourself or his other more lively…
Paul Weller – That’s Entertainment feat. Noel Gallagher
I’ve just been browsing round YouTube and stumbled on to this little beauty. Paul Weller, who I recently saw live, and Noel Gallagher, who I’ve rediscovered my love for, cover one of Weller’s greatest ever tunes, That’s Entertainment. Really there’s…
Radiohead – The Rip (Cover of Portishead Track)

Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker – Hey Ya (Outkast Cover)

Paul Weller – Wild Wood (The Sheared Wood Remix by Portishead)
Trip-hop band Portishead add some serious percussion to Paul Weller’s acoustic classic Wild Wood… I could write an entire series of blogs about how great Paul Weller is, and how under-rated he is in the UK (despite the fact that…
