Song(s) for You: Adem and Paolo Angeli


Two cover albums by two very different artists. Both beautiful and both very worthy to listen to over and over again. They both happen to cover this Björk track so I thought it would be nice to feature them. Please check both these artists out. I am generally not a fan of cover albums but I think both of these are solid and stand on their own beautifully.

Adem's music is folk(ish) and fabulous. His newest album, Takes, are covers of some of his influences ranging from 1991-2001. Some artists featured are the Smashing Pumpkins and Yo La Tengo and one of my favorite tracks is a beautiful acoustic version of To Cure A Weakling Child by Aphex Twin. Truly fantastic.



Paolo Angeli plays a prepared guitar meaning he has made some adjustments to his acoustic guitar and often plays it with a bow. His latest album is a wonderful collection of covers of Björk and Frith. The sounds that can be made from this one instrument are surprising and beautiful.

This crap blows. Baby, you need to hunker down and listen to some REAL fucking music. Try out some Mayhem, for instance. Or Darkthrone. What I am saying to you, you strange little hotty hippie, is get the fuck out of your comfort zone a try some music that pushes a goddamned BUTTON somewhere and makes things HAPPEN.

What am I Saying?
