Saw this! had already been enjoying Shakira, surprised and delighted when she did this. Then went to see the XX straight after - fantastic, even enjoyed Florence turning up.

there's a whole biggie/xx mash up album
their set up at glasto looked really different -- jamie was playing a marimba and they had a new girl doing live drums during the florence rmx -- but i havne't been able to find any videos of them playing their own songs

based on ^^^^ I desperately want to hear that XX/Biggie mashup album (although going by comments looks like the dude who did it got sued into nonexistence)

it's a shame the choreography isn't better in that video. conceptually it's quite strong but it's nowhere near as good as e.g. this:

there was some buzz around that cover in may - don't know whether it'll be officially releasedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=tU1ELfjmxJY

oh wow, it's kind of embarrassing how much better Ma$e is than, like, every recently famous/popular emcee I can think of other than T.I.

hey shakira does justice to that song, good fit imo

just listened to Shakira's xx cover and man -- studio version ASAP plz
― ksh, Monday, 28 June 2010 21:11 (fifteen years ago)
uh the clunky diy sleekness is their whole appeal, i don't get y anyone wants a glossed up vers.
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:07 (fifteen years ago)
yeah I thought the shakira version was competent but doesn't have a patch on the original imo
― got you all in ♜ ♔ (dyao), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:16 (fifteen years ago)
I get that the arrangement is part of the appeal, but it's a good song apart from that, and it's fun to see songs put in different sonic contexts.

― based on logical thinking (HI DERE), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:29 (fifteen years ago)
shakira's forte isn't really glossiness, "she wolf" notwithstanding.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:31 (fifteen years ago)
yeah, good covers are always enjoyable. they don't take anything away from the original.
also: though it took me a while to get the gist, i eventually succumbed to the xx and love them still nearly a year later. it's been a while since i actively listened to the full album, but i'm always happy when a song pops up on random. have recently noticed a lot of ILM backlash, though, to the point where hating the xx has become a kind of punchline in itself. which strikes me as weird, cuz i don't see this as an offensively ubiquitous or vapid album. surprised that it would prove divisive.

It's one of those records that 10 albums-a-year art school punters in denim button-ups won't shut up about.

it's just the circle of life with ilx, like freak out about the band and record four months before it's out, then once it's out and gets popular and a good review on pitchfork, you gotta start making it a punchline for indie joeks
― it's detlef season, you schrempfs (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)
ppl on ILX hating an indie album for no good reason shocker
― ksh, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)
it's also a total dinner party album!

yes, who could object to a dinner party.

I exclusively play Cobalt and late 90s alt rock hits when I have ppl over
― ksh, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:31 (fifteen years ago)
no that was def a compliment. have heard it at many a dinner party and it's always been appreciated
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:31 (fifteen years ago)
liked this better when it was slowdive and without the shitty visual aesthetic
― the food has a top snake of 1 (ulillillia), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:51 (fifteen years ago)
Naturally, the xx sound nothing like Slowdive...
