HA! This is great. I haven't listened to The Arcade Fire enough to know many of their songs well and don't recognize this one, but I've listened to them enough to think I at least like this sound more than their typical sound.
Replying to your last comment on your previous jam, those promo CD's are great places to find new music, but the promo CD's I was referring to are the pre-release promotional copies of actual albums and singles music stores are given by record companies.
Don't know a single Arcade Fire song, Chrissy. This is stunningly good and possibly the best movie I've seen in a long time! I believe I shall listen to this more than once or twice...
@debutch I'd only heard the original once and didn't even remember it, but I went back to check it out. I like it, but yeah, I'm at least feeling this version more at the time being.
Listened to the whole album all the way through twice. The first half didn't really do much for me at first, but the back end made up for it. This is still the standout track, but I really like two or three that follow it as well. Thanks for making me aware of her!
I like it #battlejams we need to have some songs duke it out in a TIMJ arena for music supremacy.....Who did it better? kind of thing...what do you think @shiningsun2k? @debutch?
@SheRa Well, I love the Arcade Fire version so much but this is so different that it's difficult to compare......let's just say that 'at the moment' I would like to hear this one again, 'next'....
@SheRa I first read your Battlejams idea on my phone a work and mistakenly read "kind of thing" as "King of the Thing", which I absolutely love as a title. :) I'm interested. :)
@shiningsun2k No worries on the backward...living with dyslexia my whole life I do that daily, so take back that facepalm ~@21schizoid I am so glad you enjoyed it sir!!!
Not heard of her before, then I see just this song has been Jammed over 80 times!! I sometimes think there's a parallel TIMJ universe somewhere that I never find.
* frowns *
I like this and the powerful video. :-)

And funny that the name of the band is also the name of a highly acclaimed Arcade Fire album. I wonder which came first.
shiningsun2k
*hard facepalm* Never mind. Just realized I was looking at it backwards and Mr. Little Jeans is the band.

@debutch you always make me smile~ she has that hypnotic quality to her voice doesn't she?

I hadn't heard this excellent cover before, ty :) The music and (somewhat) unnerving video really turn this song on it's head.

@gorillawit The video is a bit unnerving isn't it?!? @mikelowe I agree... sometimes I feel like I miss a lot due to this parallel jamiverse
