Re: AV Undercover Season 8 Liveblog-Ish
the official playlist doesn't have all of the videos? these guys (the AV Club in 2018) really suck from a presentation angle

#25 Atlas Genius — "Only Wanna Be With You" (Hootie And The Blowfish)
nope. same problem as the TLC cover. the original song is goofy, don't try so hard! it's not terrible by itself, but in context it evokes pat boone doing an alice cooper cover. that's not good.

#29 Steve 'n' Seagulls — "Sabotage" (Beastie Boys)
I almost forgot about this one! I just dug it up. I had a playlist of AV undercover videos from the past that I liked, but they deleted like 80% of them. what are you doing, people? it's legal crap, I'm guessing. I hope these videos aren't gone forever.
these guys are from finland this isn't the AV club version, but it's still really solid

#37 Baths — "All My Friends" (LCD Soundsystem)
I just remembered this one, but it appears to be gone off of the face of the earth. what the fuck, people. posting it here so there's a chance that I don't forget about it completely.

#38 Natalie Prass "Raining Blood" (Slayer)
a lot of bands do "reimaginings" in their own style, and often it doesn't work. this one does, though! it's funky and sort of deconstructed, but they find the song by the end. it's good stuff.

#39 Reggie Watts — "Panama" (Van Halen)
reggie scraps the original song for parts and forges it into the musical equivalent of a +1 vorpal blade (?)

#40 Xenia Rubinos — "Psycho Killer" (Talking Heads)
a counterpoint to #38 (and I guess #39)—I kind of like this one, I don't hate it, but it's too MUCH. there are a lot of covers like these

My favourite one of these is how "Roll and sausage" (ie a roll with sausage on it, as opposed to a sausage roll which is a sausage rolled in pastry) transformed to "Roll n sausage" which then became "Roll on sausage"

I'd lived over a decade without listening to a Hole song, darn you Phantogram.
