Dolly v Whitney

MP3 Viking Moses / I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton cover, 2006)

Another Catherine-response, this to the Bowie/Whitney dancegasm.

Does Mr Moses imagine himself singing to Ms Parton or to Ms Houston? Would a lovechild named Viking Dolly Houston-Moses the IIIrd get beat up or do the beating? Answer: he'd hire bully-protection for the price of two Fruit Roll-Ups per recess.

Byrne-ing Down The House (Because No One Has Ever Made That Pun Before)

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing David Byrne (along with some highly questionable (and I sincerely hope ironic) interpretive dancers) at the Greek Theater. He didn't play this cover (or any covers for that matter), but maybe he should have. Two of my favorite things? David Byrne and songs to which one might throw an impromptu dance party.

MP3 David Byrne / I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston Cover)

Speaking of impromptu dance parties and songs that Mr. Byrne did play, Austin-based Voxtrot does an attempt at at a Talking Heads impersonation with "Heaven." Maybe it doesn't need to be said, but Ramesh Srivastava? No David Byrne.
