I’m a total sucker for bands that take an electronica song and play it on real instruments. The Bad Plus’ version of Aphex Twin’s Flim is pretty awesome. Stephin Merritt’s re-interpretations of his sampler based songs from Holiday and Wayward Bus are pretty much as gorgeous as the originals. This cover of Daft Punk’s Harder Better Faster Stronger is pretty nice, too. (via)
The Bad Plus do Aphex: (previously embedded the wrong video. duh.)
