Jarvis Cocker and The Strokes, "Just What I Needed"
Yep, it's exactly what the headline says: a cover of the Cars classic apparently shot at this weekend's Reading Festival. Big thumbs up from this corner. [Via]
That's all fine and good, but where's my chillwave cover of "Drive"?
I would have booed this in person, and I like both the Strokes and JC.
@djfreshie AND THAT SONG. Every ingredient is good, but that execution is horrifying.
Wake me when Jarvis Cocker covers William Shatner's "Common People".
This is why cover bands exist… and although they're much -maligned, i know three or four cover bands that would rock the shit out of Reading with some Cars, a Rolling Stones power medley, select cuts from Nevermind, & all wrapped up with a searing rendition of the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water".
Fest that.
Was is Jarvis or Julian who blew the lyrics in the first verse?
@GailPink Julian- he sounded off key as shit too
