Blur’s Song 2 – But every “woohoo” is done by Mario
This is very bad. But also kinda fun.

The Flaming Lips have done a pretty nice cover of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs.
The Masterplan / Oasis (1995)
So The Masterplan is 30 years old today. Do you feel old yet?
Xibalba / Clint Mansell with the Kronos Quartet (2006)

Sonata For Solo Cello: ‘Joanna’s Tale’ (Live Session) / Dobrawa Czocher (2025)
Really very good.
