@Crucial what are you saying? You don't like Superunknown

Nah, not my thing. I can happily leave that genre to you 90s kids. Does nothing for me.

Was reading the story of how the song came together
Trent Reznor talks Johnny Cash
The latest News,/news,,news, breaking news, comment, reviews and features from the experts at MusicRadar
In a recent interview with a British newspaper, Reznor spoke in depth about the Cash version of Hurt:
"I'd been friends with Rick Rubin for several years. He called me to ask how I'd feel if Johnny Cash covered Hurt. I said I'd be very flattered but was given no indication it would actually be recorded.
"Two weeks went by. Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song.
"I'd known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive".
It was the moving video, though, that made it all fall into place for the Nine Inch Nails star: "It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art.
"I never got to meet Johnny but I'm happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out. I have goose bumps right now thinking about it.
"Having Johnny Cash, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, want to cover your song, that's something that matters to me. It's not so much what other people think but the fact that this guy felt that it was worthy of interpreting.
"He said afterwards it was a song that sounds like one he would have written in the '60s and that's wonderful".

and, linked to my other post, i have spent the last couple of days listening to Powderfinger. This is still my favourite
And this is the go-to track if you are doing karaoke in Aus, and want the crowd to sing with you

Powderfinger are awesome and I always recall my London years when I listen to them. Odyssey number 5 took all the plaudits, but I always preferred internationalist. A muso mate calls them a 4 year band, as he reckons that a 4 year old could play all their music - it's that simple. Never stopped oasis getting as big as they did, that.
Saw them live at Shepherds Bush one Saturday - quality concert.

First time I'd seen that subject-tracking camera effect. Really good clip.
The other track off that album that I liked was Love Your Way. There was some good stuff on Vulture Street - probably the album of theirs that was most "rock".
