I was once told that I looked like the bastard child of Robert Smith and Kelly Osbourne. Now, the logistics of that particular affair send shivers down my spine and make me a nauseous sausage. However, I do not actually oppose to the reference. Who doesn't love some Robert Smith? (Well, I'm sure you people are out there, but come on... The Cure is classic!) I don't think it's a particularly accurate comparison, but then again, back in those days I looked a bit more like this....
So, I guess I sort of get it. Anyway, the reason I am randomly blogging about my appearance is because I just watched a decent cover of "Just Like Heaven." I actually really love cover songs, provided they don't completely bastardize the original. I like that today's musicians are bringing the music from decades past to a whole new audience.
The cover in question is done by AFI, and there's actually a live video where Robert Smith is in the audience at the show, even cooler.
Another cover that I found to be particularly well-done is the cover of Gerard McMann's "Cry Little Sister" done by Seasons After. Though I do prefer the original, this is pretty damn good.
