2. Running Up That Hill, by Chromatics. The original's brilliant, but as covers go, this one is really quite good. Though the video has about a minute and a half of faff before the song even starts (this doesn't happen on the actual track), so if you're impatient I wouldn't recommend it.
3. Daddy Cool, by Placebo. I love disco music (which is an embarrassing thing to admit to friends), and I love Placebo. And even if you don't like disco, Placebo's Boney M cover is awesome in its own right. The video is kind of crazy, though- I'm fairly sure Placebo didn't make it, but I like it just the same.
4. Summer Wine, by Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. It's one of my playlist constants, and is going to stay that way for a very long time..
5. Life In Mono, by Mono. I love this one not only because it's unbelievably lovely, but it also happens to be the theme song for one of my favourite films of all time- the 1998 version of Great Expectations. It's been a clear ten years since I first heard it, and my love for it hasn't diminished any..
6. Dark Chariot, by Peer Raben. I can't find anything for it on Youtube except an excerpt from 2046, so no links.
7. Roads, by Portishead. I couldn't find a video for this one, either (and the reason I'm linking videos is because fileden won't upload my files to share). On a side note: I'm so glad to have a new Portishead album, at last...it's been far too long.

ohmygod, I love that placebo cover (actually I'm quite fond of the original too...) - definitely one of my favourites from them, and much better than their 20th century boy cover too.
I'll have to investigate that cover of "Running Up That Hill." I love that song.
I'm glad I'm a goddess of lipstick and not, say, of garbage bags or deli meats.
Ah, the green dresses and the water-fountain kisses...
omg! i love roads! damien rice obsession aside, i've been listening to this song and the album to death. i've not quite learnt to appreciate their latest album yet, but i believe that i just need some time...
Headmistress: Placebo did a killer cover of Running Up That Hill, too- they're really good at it :)
ENC: It's quite different from Kate Bush's version, but like I said, it's a good song in its own right.
Wendy: Garbage bags? Deli meats? I really wonder who anointed you a goddess of those..no, red lipstick is what you rule.
Perakath: I like green a lot.
Evie: I suspect Third will be one of those albums that grows on you, too- nostalgia will always dictate that I love their older albums most, but the latest has potential.
The Chromatics version of 'Running up that Hill' is BAD to put it mildly - if you love Placebo then you'd have to agree that their cover of it is a thousand times better.
Mina: I still like it...and yeah, I'm fonder of the Placebo cover, but I like the spacey vibe of the Chromatics one. Though it does take a while to get going.
