Can't wait for her version of "Welcome to the Terrordome..."

A singer named Nina Gordon has a great singing voice, a website, and an awesome, folky(!) cover of NWA's "Straight Outta Compton." GOLD!

"Eazy is his name and he's...." probably spinning in his grave right about now. :)

The NWA cover ain't bad, but why' s she disrespecting my brothas Skid Row and Cinderella with crappy versions of these timeless, classic anthems?

I spent many a drunken night lip-syncing to these epic ballads, and I don't appreciate tongue and check versions of these fine tunes.

By the way, can you put a good word in for me with Chuck - Osoyoos needs a rockin' dude like myself to do some muckraking at the seniors' home.

GRACEY!!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I'm not typically big on covers, but this is good. Reminds me of the Mike Flower's Pops (or something closely approximating that) and "wonderwall".

PG: Damn straight. I know you're all over the brewing scandals in...ah, who am I kidding, the biggest scandal is when some guy leaves his stereo on overnight. :)

I have to come down in support of tongue in cheek B-list metal remakes. Now, if she'd covered Devo..nah, actually they did that to themselves with an acoustic version of "Are we not Men?" :)

I'd also like to point out nobody seems to give a shit about my long screed about Russell Smith's effete dandyism, despite getting mentioned elsewhere on the net....

but NWA covers get a torrent of commentary. Whether I'm happy or sad about this, I'm not sure. :)

Isn't it against some kind of blogger code, or law, to flog pretentious topics during an NWA/80's hairband commentary when it's been ignored otherwise?

GRACEY!!
