Music that breaks my brain

mangosteen and I used to play a game of finding the most outre' covers or mixes we could to startle each other. I think this would've gotten at least an honorable mention.

- a bossanova/orchestral strings cover of "Paint it Black"

It's not bad, per se. As a piece of music it's actually well done. It's just that I'm old enough to have had the original well and truly implanted. (If you're not that old, listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjoeLpVCNr0 for contrast.)

I like the Gob version alot

in my teens "Paint it Black" was one of my faves

Yeah, I think I remember that, vaguely, from our early conversations.

I'm not familiar with the Gob version.

imeem seems to think i need an account to listen to their music.

bah, humbug.

Really? How very odd. I found that link simply by a Google search and did not create an account before listening.
