Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: Elvis Costello to Christina Aguilera
You'll allow me a little leeway, I hope, because Christina has a little help with this cover. Scrub that, she's the one doing the helping, because this is Chris Mann featuring Christina Aguilera, covering The Blower's Daughter, very much with a Straight Bat. You have to wait over three minutes for Christina to come in. Try to contain yourself.
As an antidote to that fake over-emoting and saccharine sentimentality, here's Damien Rice's original, complete with kick-in-the-balls whispered line in the outro. There was a brief time in my life when this song was very important to me. Now it's like a postcard, a reminder of a forgotten past.
Next time: Damien goes to see the bright lights...
