TV On the Radio - Heroes (cover)

Anyone heard this yet? A pretty good cover, better than the Wallflowers IMO...

Re: TV On the Radio - Heroes (cover)

i like it. starts off dull, but maybe a higher quality play would change my mind.

is this/will this be on a compilation or official release?

Anything would be better than the Wallflowers' limp cover. Then again, nothing will be as good as the original, imo.

yeah, the quality of that was pretty poor - on the radio yesterday sounded much better. It's from an upcoming War Child benefit disc i believe.

Cool, not mind blowing or anything, but pretty sweet for a throw away cover.

The orchestration, singing, etc. isn't that bad. But the recording quality is worse than concert footage recorded on a cellphone.

Very nice cover. Much stronger rhythmically even than Bowie's IMO. Thanks for the heads up, OP.
