Your 'ps' rocked and was totally new to me. Grimes is always sort of alternately ethereal and in your face. Cold is a good word, actually.

Thanks! I'm pretty much anti cover. Almost across the board. Rarely do I hear one that doesn't make me want to shut it down and hurry to listen to the original instead. That Ashes to Ashes cover really moves me though. But Uwe Schmidt isn't exactly run of the mill either. He's an incredibly prolific artist having released music on over 60 aliases.

I would barely call that a cover, though. I'm with you, few and far between are the songs that have been improved upon by those who didn't write them. I think there are either two or three covers in the entirety of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs list.
