All I was doing was surfing around, minding my own business when I ran into this on the Muruch blog (better half of the Brencast):

"I should preface this by saying that (with the exception of "Trouble") I don't like Coldplay, including "Fix You". I think the original sounds like a yawn set to music. So I was very surprised when my husband forced me to listen to the above cover and I loved it."

"Jim Christian is the guy behind the Posithink podcast. Jim has such a nice, emotive voice that he transformed this rather mediocre pop song into a beautiful ballad. Which leads me to think Chris Martin should give up torturing our ears with his singing and become a songwriter for better artists."

Holy. Freaking. Crap.

This is a reference to the "Fix You" Vidcast test I did some time ago over on Posithink.

Well, I thank you wholeheartedly. Really I do, because Muruch has great taste in music and I know she means it.

If this is a more material manifestation of my thanks, here's a version of Radiohead's "Creep" I did after reading that entry tonight, inbetween pizza slices. Up until I read that post, I'd been having a pretty bad day...

...I still am, but I think the song's worked most of the mood out of me

If your ears can stand a guy in his office with a USB mic and a copy of Audacity, then away you go.
