And my apologies for being a "meat proxy".

My ear is a complete moron about key changes, way far away from absolute pitch (or ear, whatever), which is pretty useful to find similarities between tunes. I also suck at rhythm, just good enough for dancing and getting an awesome wife. Maybe comping if there’s a proficient drummer anywhere near.

This happens a lot to me. Cleverer people like Beato showed how an old song is the basis for a few modern (or not so) tunes:

All those key changes make not much of a difference for me.

Yard Act- 100% Endurance

This is in my top 10 favorite songs ever. With obviously some Cure stuff and Talking Heads and Rammstein etc.

From the file of covers that are WAY better than the original.

Pet Shop Boys’ All The Young Dudes / West End Girls (with the Manchester Camerata)

I'm enjoying this channel -- lots of cool unique versions.

That version of Moving in Stereo at the top is (fire)

Couldn't afford a video but it's still a vibe.

Little bit out of my normal wheelhouse. Drove Alec back to Dallas today and he made me listen to country all the way.

13 years ago. I missed it. It's still great. That's the great thing about music?

Basia - the background instruments sound like something out of a Sega Genesis game... maybe Streets of Rage or Shinobi (I mean that in a good way):

Way back in 2003, a creative and wacky Norwegian (is there any other kind?) named Gisle Martens Meyer eleased Resound, his first full length under the name Ugress. It was a breakbeat driven sampledelic good time. On it is the killer track "Decepticons" which among other things, features the sound of Transformers ...transforming being scratched by a DJ. In the 2000s, I used it to lure some of my more nerdy friends into the world of electronic music. It's also littered with samples from the TV series and 1986 movie. (This was years before the Michael Bay CGI slop fests tainted the Transformers name.) "Decepticons" was the first thing I thought of when I heard (voice of Optimus Prime) Peter Cullen died. Do not grieve for him, he shall become one with the matrix.
