Scott Matthews covers "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" / download

Q Magazine's website contains an interesting article about young talent Scott Matthews, complete with downloadable studio cover of "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side."

"Elusive is being reissued on 25 June, backed with alternate versions of tracks from debut album Passing Stranger - plus an excellent cover of The Smiths' classic The Boy With The Thorn In His Side. Stripping away the jangling guitars of the original, Matthews invests the song with the same air of ethereal sadness that made Elusive so moving."

surprise surprise, actually not bad. Not great, but thankfully he kept it pretty safe, and didn't do anything extreme. Which doesn't leave much room for criticism. Lets face it, we all have heard horrible covers of Smiths/Morrissey songs....new poll?

What band/person has made the worse Smiths/Moz cover? My vote....My Chemical Romance!

Live version (Score:0)

The version he did for a BBC Radio show was much better than the one here.

I liked it (Score:1)

But then again, I am easily pleased.

Wait - what am I thinking... I am never pleased, I am always disgisted with everything.

But this was ok and I was able to enjoy it. I must be feeling unwell.

Jeff Buckley wishes... (Score:1)

At first listen, I am quite impressed by this guy... Jeff Buckley's cover of I Know It's Over was horrible...begs the question...is it only because he died that Jeff Buckley receives such accolades that he does? I've heard nothing of his that moves me to the level of interest that I also have for Men At Work...

Scott's all right. (Score:1)

Matthews's cover passes muster.

A while back Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy covered There is a Light... which I heard on the radio this evening and can be sampled here - http://obscuresound.com/?p=543 . It was followed by a very old recording of the poet W.B. Yeats reading his famous poem The Lake Isle of Inisfree, to cue to Morrissey's Irish Blood English Heart. Pleasing little medley in the midst of thunderstorms!
