so there's a Stop Making Sense cover album coming out in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary, and i listened to the preview tracks that are out, and the best thing about it so far, for me, is that its reminded me that Girlfriend is Better is a really fucking good song

#i think girl in red's cover is fun but whenever i listen to it i have to listen to the original afterwards and be like DAMN!!!#i don't really like that she jumps into the chorus and 'stop making sense' parts early- kind of messes with the build up of the song for me #the original track is so killer. a song of all time #nothing is better than that!!!#i need a text post tag #i love MUSIC!!!! AAAAAAA (as a casual listener... i don't know like. any fucking music theory or terminology)#the thing about most of the tracks out for the cover album so far #is that they're like. not really very transformative?? they're very straightforward #so hayley williams is obviously having fun and doing a fine job singing burning down the house #but also its like. this isn't bringing anything new to the table for me... very listenable though. burning down the house!!!!#meanwhile in the little preview she's done; miley cyrus is sure putting a spin on psycho killer. but i don't like it #very excited for the full album to drop because i want to hear what kevin abstract does with once in a lifetime #and i love the national but i'm kinda like. can they do anything interesting with Heaven? i hope so! but i'm kinda expecting to be let down #like they'll just cover it straight and it'll be like. yep that sure is the national covering heaven by talking heads #im hoping they'll add something fun with drums... it'd dramatically change the vibe of the song but like. i like the national's drums #at the end of the day i think part of the problem is that talking heads are a tough act to follow
