TRIPLE J’s LIKE A VERSION 4 – Various

This latest installment in the Like A Version series (which is still essentially a rip-off of Andrew Denton’s ‘Musical Challenges’) is a hit and miss affair. The unexpectedly inspired ‘versions’ are provided by After The Fall (Billy Joel’s ‘Only The Good Die Young’), British India (a raw, soulful take on Hot Chip’s ‘Boy From School’), C.W. Stoneking (‘Seven Nation Army’) and Saosin (a stirring cover of ‘Time After Time’). Paul Kelly puts his trademark on ‘Rehab’ and Plan B does a lilting version of The Smiths’ ‘Stop Me’. Jamie T’s stripped back nod to Rancid is a worthy mention too, as is Snowman’s haunting ‘Strange Fruit’.
