Video: Laura Marling - The Needle & The Damage Done.

While many artists have attempted to cover various Neil Young songs over the years and some very badly (I'm looking at you Tori Amos and Duran Duran), it's always quite a treat when someone gets it right. Last month Laura Marling released a version of The Needle And The Damage Done and it's superb.

The track was produced by Jack White who seems to have a great knack for producing quality country rock tracks and the video is also a very nice and clever animation by Redman and Sasufi. Enjoy!

The Ambience Affair-Service Bell (Grizzly Bear Cover Version)

Cover versions can be pretty hard to get right.
However Dublin based band The Ambience Affair managed to perform a very credible version of Grizzly Bear's Service Bell (from Horn Of Plenty), at their gig in Whelan's last Friday night and also featured the vocal talents of Elaine Kelly from the delightful Carnival Moon.
The Ambience Affair plan on re-releasing their Fragile Things EP on June 1st which shall feature a new track titled Mockery.
Check out their version of Service Bell HERE and video to Vacant Hearts HERE
