various and sundry covers

[cheyinka]

So dive and I were listening to Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)^[1], and (as one does) I looked it up on Wikipedia, only to learn that Peter Gabriel had covered^[2] it.

It was spectacularly terrible. So, of course, I looked up said cover on Wikipedia, only to learn that Peter Gabriel had also covered David Bowie - Heroes^[3]!

Naturally, we listened to that cover^[4], too... and discovered that while Youtube is a marvelous resource for finding music quickly, it is also a marvelous resource for finding ghastly horrors...

( No, seriously, we were both traumatized. )
