Music

Normally I'd carry these over to Tuesday's entry, but that will surely be dominated by The Cosmos Rocks, so here they are in an unusual inbetweeny post instead.

James Bond Theme (Casino Royale Trailer Version) by Pfeifer Broz. Music [many listens]
I've only had this track two-and-a-half weeks, but it's already my 9th most played song of all time on iTunes -- and I'm obsessively thorough with keeping those play counts up-to-date, so that means something (well, to me).

Runaway (song) by Queen + Paul Rodgers
It doesn't really sound specifically like Queen -- with the exception of Brian May's guitar, which is always recognisable -- but, regardless, it's an utterly fantastic cover. Recommended. (This song is currently available exclusively through iTunes.)

Summer in the City cover versions (originally by the Lovin' Spoonful)
Another great song, which I've acquired a selection of covers of, by:
  • Los Challengers -- Latin-Rock-y, and great. Probably my favourite.
  • Pierre Belmonde -- instrumental on panpipes. Seriously.
  • Subt Lemon -- kinda punkier. But, like, modern punky.
  • TEA -- '70s cover (of the '60s original). Rock-y.
  • They're all pretty good, in my opinion.
