How many times can a great song be covered again and again. Too many and not enough.
Some songs just shouldn’t be covered, like pretty much anything from the Beach Boys and the Beatles.
Yet some covers turn out to be in some ways kinda better than the original. Like Phil Collins cover of the Supremes ‘You Can’t Hurry Love’.
Perhaps it was the music clip.
One song that has always fascinated me is the classic party/pub song ‘Louie Louie’. The original by Richard Berry is so-so but some of the covers that followed… oh yes. Continue reading ‘Tequila, Louie Louie, Phil Collins and MySpace.’

I’ve spent a lot of time working within the Hong Kong Convention Centre and doing spare moments I’ve enjoyed staring out across the Victoria Harbour and watching the sun set across Kowloon… I’ve always wondered however what the HKCEC looked like from the outside during these times. Now I wonder no longer.
The following is a super cool image that through the amazements of modern technology and creative sorts, shows the sun setting. To get a full feel for the effect just follow these simple instructions.
Place your cursor at the top of the photo. You will notice it is 6:10 PM.
Bring the mouse down slowly over the photo without pressing the button on the mouse. Do not right or left click.
Night time appears, the lights come on, and at 7:40 PM, it’s dark!
I think this is photo technology at its best!
Okay – your good to go! Now CLICK HERE to test it out and be amazed… well at least a little!
Thanks to one of the voodoonista – Miss S for the link.
