SUNDAY UNDER COVERS (Let's All Celebrate Bein' One Of Ziplok's Trusted MOG, Shall we?)

Posted about 1 year ago


I think we're all justifiably proud of bein' chosen as one of only 1045 MOGgers that Ziplok trusts. What a thrill.

But on to the music. Maybe you remember the Concretes, maybe not. Their following in America never rises much above cult status. Their music can be light an' airy or thick an' challenging, but the appeal, for me at least, was the voice of Victoria Bergsman so when she left the group to form Taken By Trees, I followed.

From a 2008 single then, Taken By Trees covers Guns N Roses

    Ziplok has not trusted me, so I am not blessed with his imprimatur. Unless he has something in a real Ziplok bag to share, I think I can go on, with eyes full of tears.

    I like her voice as well, and they create a superior version of a song I never could stand to begin with.

    its an honour fo sho...

    as for the song, while i can see some purists being annoyed at a Guns n' Roses song being Regina Spektored/Feisted- i dont mind it too much myself and yeah she has a good voice for sure

    I got the "Ziplock" seal of approval ;-)

    I felt so special until you "ran the numbers here" - lol.

    Is he freezer safe? If not, I'd be skeptical. I need to know more.

    Fragile, but not breathy..I remember when my dad used to like this tune even..I wonder if she dances like Axl? I like the piano replacing the guitar solo.

    As we say in Scotland, Axl Rose "couldnae carry a tune in a bucket", so ANYTHING would be an improvement on his horrendous screeching

    This lustrous cover is comforting.  To be warned away from the original makes life simpler.

    ziploc has been blessed with a discerning ear and an unquenchable need for affirmation. And I, I need to be trusted - it's a symbiotic relationship

    toss your pointed barbs elsewhere!

    oh, and good tune
