Shobaleader One is full of decent songwriting. Imagine him writing songs for andre 3000.

first one is lovely, but man does she get ridiculous with those vocals towards the end!

Her voice is annoying. Prefer the second cover.

Second one you could sample and speed up for a nu disco mix.

beautiful covers

I really enjoyed the 'Kim Mayo' cover. I like the piano arrangement on the second cover, but the reverb on his voice is a little cheesy.

Not sure I like the vocal in either of them, but it was nice hearing the melodies on other instruments.It's a nice track.

Fact!

i had a romantic time with my gf a few days ago listening to plug me in and some other shobaleader tracks

 

 

it was glorious

sp's is an awesome composer.

Kinda liked it, completely different interpretation which showcased the strength of the songwriting and makes you wanna go and listen back to the original with a new ear. Also it has the most poignant delivery of the lyric ''Fresh from the studio'' i've heard this year

I'm going to be controversial and say I like her voice. Sounds like a blacker Esthero.

nah, she's good. sort of weird phrasing in a few places, but whatever. Good cover.

 

the guy's voice on the piano cover is... well, it doesn't do it for me. I'll leave it at that.

 

Plug Me In is a perfectly written song, but a major appeal for me is that vox in the original version makes the central conceit pretty overt, ie, it's a babymaking slowjam from the metaphorical perspective of pieces of studio equipment preparing to line up 'male' and 'female' connections. It's hilarious and absurd and it makes sex itself seem hilarious and absurd, but at the same time it is just a fucking good fucking song, you know, and that delightful tension and humor gets lost a bit in more earnest covers of the song.

 

But I like the first cover. The vibe is correct.

 

My logitech keyboard dongle is now getting a really shitty signal from my keyboard, causing many edits in this post. come on guys, work it out. have some red wine, put on some shobaleader one, get a little closer. that's better. yeah, that's real good. you keep... you keep doing that. don't mind me. yeah. yeah.

Yeah. The covers kinda reveal just how great these songs are though. I really hope he writes some more pop stuff. Plug Me In is such a perfect album opener, man.

joe schneider.. is the best! Love to hear a 12 track album of Squarepusher covers from all of TJ's albums....

 

 

As for Kim Mayo... nice enough take on it.....................lets see her do a "my fucking sound" cover....
