Covers, M: "The Man Who Sold the World," David Bowie/Nirvana

The Original

From the album The Man Who Sold the World

David Bowie:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: Hey, Bowie's great and all, but this is simply here to introduce the cover version... — cwc

Best movie ever = The Labyrinth. Bowie was delicious. — BJ



The Cover

From the album MTV Unplugged in New York

Nirvana:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: Still one of the greatest moments in music for me, Nirvana on Unplugged. How cool is Kurt Cobain to basically devote half his set to cover songs and the Meat Puppets?! — cwc

I've always wondered what Cobain would be like had he not killed himself (for the skeptics — had he not been murdered). Maybe he would be a minister writing songs about his reformed drug use and new-found devotion to his Lord and savior. In reality, sometimes it's better when people are immortalized, as bad as it may be to say. — BJ

And my favorite Nirvana video, for "In Bloom":
