Lately, whenever an artist has done a cover of another song, I dismissed it as 'Some ass hole trying to break through on HypeMachine." I think some band covered the top song on ELBO.WS for a month or two. It was pretty STUPID.
Anyways, KNICKEN posted about Sexton Blake a while ago, and I was pretty into a few of their covers. Mainly "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart and "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes.
Here's the video for the original BETTE DAVIS EYES, which certainly sounds like a lot of the crap I listen to now:
Anyways, Sexton Blake does a pretty good job of adapting the song to make it their own lofi-indie-rock version. It executes the sound of 'what I listened to before I started listening to too much dance music' in an approachable way.

welcome to planet earth, the blogosherical region, where an individual known as hipster runoff has inexplicably tricked you into caring about something and commenting about it.
Sexton Blake bores me :(And not only because he's not electro.Actually... maybe it is because he's not electro.
mm i like!
YOU CANNOT DENY OUR LOVE HRO!!!!!!5
What's Electro?
WARNING: it's cool you're starting to use COLORED TEXT but plz be careful and try to limit yourself to a maximum of two (maybe 3) text colors per post.
um I go to knicken too and started listening to sexton blake!electro is so 2007
the teenagers are also not electro!! (unless remixed by electro people.) so... I don't know why everyone's FLIPPING out.OMG what if some electro up and comer like anoraak or lifelike remixed sexton? that would make me cream my pants
Sexton Blake is so 2007.I was listening to this CD last summer.Where's the NEW not electro music?
i wonder if sahexie is actually saying that sexton blake is SOOOOO 2007, or if sahexie is making fun of someone who would say that sexton blake is SOOOOO 2007, or if sahexie does actually think that sexton blake is SOOOOO 2007 but hides how uncool it would be to sound so cliche hipster by pretending sahexie is making fun of someone that would say that sexton blake is SOOOOO 2007?sahexie - you are a knotted riddle that i aim to untangle!
i really dig sexton blake's cover of "rush rush." i had it on serious repeat a while ago. it's time to play that album again.
Knotted riddle? Hmm... Let me know if you figure it out.
Very romantic. Perhaps we can have a hipster smoochoff one day. Or dinner with Carles to reminisce about the good ol' days of bangers and how kylie songs make us feel inside.
Sexton Blake broke through last spring/summer.He really is "so 2007."
I hope to hear less about good indie artists and more about frivolous LA bullshit.
sexton blake is so 2007, the only times i ever saw "sexton blake" they played starfucker songs. so listen to florida or german love and get down with starfucker josh hodges new project... Starfucker
its true, sexton blake might as well be dead. starfucker is alive and well and is electro and not electro at the same time. the covers album is great though. but you should wait for the new starfucker album coming out this year. and go see it live...
this hipster music banter of "I listened to him first!!" is making me want to slit my wriststhat's rightI'd rather be EMOSHIT than be a part of this runoff
is hipster the new emo?
is gay the new hipster?
i lik the original more. her voice moves.
gay is the new black [via pink]
sexton blake is hard to say ten times fast.
what a fucking queer. this is a merciless hacking of the original. eternal SHAME.
Aw, this was a really stately
Aw, this was a really stately post. In theory I’d reminiscent of to write similar to this too – taking time and real effort near make a impressive editorial… nevertheless what can I say… I procrastinate alot as well as never seem just before get anything done
