Seu Jorge - Life on Mars
i LOVE the portugese covers of bowie from the life aquatic !!

This guy seriously needs to sing something a cappella. Everything else is completely unnecessary and just a distraction.

I'm not a rabid Bowie fan, I can take or leave his music, but the covers by Seu Jorge are truly beautiful. I have the same relationship with the Beatles, not a fan of their music, but I really like the covers.

There's so much good music out there and not enough time to listen to it all

Here's Seu Jorge with the full version of 'Changes' on the set of Steve Zissou

I'd much sooner leave him and his music somewhere where they will never bother me again.

Some of the covers of his stuff aren't bad though.

i feel the same about bowie, although there are a few of his songs i like (except i'm not sure how many, because for the longest time, i don't know why, i had him confused with iggy pop. i know, not the same. ) but yes, the seu jorge covers are really amazing.

here are two of my favourite iggy pop songs :

Actually, I didn't know it was from Iggy Pop, I know it from Siouxsie and the Banshees.

at *least*. (1977).

i had no idea siouxie and the banshees did a cover of it. and in a funny coincidence in light of my earlier remark, that's bowie singing on the chorus (of the original version, i mean).

Currently banging my head on my desk along to 'Strange Machines' by The Gathering.



It has always been in the back of my mind, dreaming about going through the corners of time. I always wanted to fly in strange machines.
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime, and feel it with my hands. Touch the World War II and Cleopatra, flying...
Could it be that my dream would come true, building a machine that would actually do what I want it to do?
Russian revolution, let's do that in one day. Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k. More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime, and see it with my eyes - watch Jesus rise, if he ever did, flying...
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime, and feel it with my hands. Touch Renaissance and Shaka Khan, flying...
