whiney can you please go on a twitter rant about jonathan coulton whining about glee stealing his arrangement for baby got back because that whole story is so nauseating on every level I feel like you need to channel all of our vitriol for us

I feel like it represents some kind of cultural nadir that does need discussing

well the sad fact is that Coulton's right!
and that both arrangements are horrible!
and that the face the blonde chick with the short haircut in glee makes on the first "oakland booty" is fucking haunting me!

he's "right" in what sense? you can't cover someone else's song and then have any kind of ownership of your arrangement of it. and when someone brazenly copies it, the best thing you an do is just let people notice and act like it's nbd, since raising a stink will never get you a check or a credit anyway.

did we ever figure out who did that cover on that wedding mix CD?

i dunno, this dude is like endemic of the entitled wantreprenuer crybaby millenials that make up a big chunk of the internet "IDEA FACTORY" but, saddest of all, he's 42.

Plus the whole Wired/Kotaku-reader attitude of "information should be free maaaaan" until OH NO BIG COMPANY WANTS TO ADOPT NERD """CULTURE""" show me the moneyssss$$.

I dunno, there was Australian film festival website that totally jacked the idea of H1pster Pupp1es, and all I could do was laugh and link to it. It just shows that something you did was part of the culture. You should be PROUD and HONORED instead of a money-thirsty bottle baby with his fucking hands out because someone liked your idea. Especially if your idea is shitty and probably racist like "JoCo"'s

didn't Cale just record the first studio version w/ some lyrics Cohen had only performed live though?

have you ever compared cohen's and cale's? not just lyrics but tone is totally different - buckley's cover is based directly on cale's and everyone else's is based on buckley. i'm guessing most people never heard the cohen one until watchmen.

i mean, if forks can get away with posting that hideous garbage, why can't we have glitchr display names?

sarahell, Monday, 28 January 2013 05:47 (4 months ago) Permalink

Cale's version forms the basis of most subsequent performances, including Cohen's performances during his 2008–2009 world tour. It was also the version used in the film Shrek (2001) (although it did not appear on the film's soundtrack album).[7][19] It also appears on the first soundtrack album for the TV series Scrubs.

buckley's is on guitar, cale's is on piano. Cale's is way way superior to buckley's.

yeah it's been a long time since i listened to any of those diff versions so i've glossed over it. if your point is Cale never called out Buckley or anyone or whined about his contribution to it becoming a standard, yeah that's cool of him.

i heard it on I'm Your Fan or one of those.

always thought it was weird that if u sample a session musician's riff or horns from a cover the writer of the bare bones tune gets the $. like bob dylan has a composer credit on beck's "jackass" because of the Them! riff from "it's all over now baby blue".
