Lovely cover of the Massive Attack song by Swedish singer/songwriter Jose Gonzalez, who can write pretty damn good songs himself.
His high, almost frail voice reminds me a bit of Neil Young, though the timbre is much different.
This song is available on Rhapsody but I will continue to upload mp3s independently of that, so users outside of the US can listen. After all the idea of a Swedish artist being unable to be heard in Sweden is a bit bizarre...

Last night I saw Einstürzende Neubauten play. I never thought I'd be able to see them live, but my stay in Europe has let me see so many good shows.
They were excellent. I won't go into details but I will say that they are very tight musically. Despite the crudeness of the instrumentation, for example metal blocks falling from a loader, everything is precise and exact. There is not much room for improvisation here, and that's OK really. It sounded great.
Here is one of the songs they played last night. They provided the entire concert on CD after the show, which is a great service I think. There is no track separation of course, so I have done this for you!
This is from their latest album, Alles Wieder Offen. Like on the album version, the stage performance featured NU reciting "Ursonate" (a pleasure to all art-nerds in the audience) and Bargeld playing a drill-mounted LP with a plastic cup.
I should also mention the venue, which was classy and had excellent sound. I think normally this venue is host to horribly lame disco nights frequented by over-dressed teenagers trying to be "fancy." All of the members of Neubauten's audience made a beeline for the door as soon as they got their merch, as the barstars were making their way in for the late-night disco shit club.

Yeah, I don't really have a good excuse for this.
I've been at home all day, my head spinning from a bizarre sickness. All in all, awful.
I am listening to a lovely album by Danish 4AD-worshipers Manual, when this track pops up.
I... don't know what to say. The album is brand new, and you gotta hand it to them for not updating the sound to this Miami Vice classic at all. Totally awesome.
Now if you excuse me, I am going to go walk on the beach in the cool breeze.

That was chilling...the good kind of chilling....
I'm now a happy Greek listener ;)
Thank for uploading the track. I wish they would open Rhapsody up to other countries (including their neighbors to the North) because it's a service I would actually be willing to sign up for.
A great cover though. I loving hearing song covers that take a track you know and love and completely transform it into something unexpected.
Thanks, the rhapsody thing is a bit off a bummer but its just a shadow on an otherwise sunny day
