I'm not too proud to say that I'm ok

OK.

I love Belle & Sebastian.
I love Crash.

Please will someone tell me where I stand on this:

I'm quite confused. I really liked it when I heard it yesterday, but today I'm not so sure...

Hmm, I love Belle and Sebastian as much as the next person, but I don't love this. I think to cover a really great song (as Crash indisputably is) you have to bring a bit more to it. I wouldn't go so far as to say Mike Flowers, but it does seem a kind of lazy and unnecessary reworking.

I tried to think of a good B&S cover that I have heard, but I don't think I've caught any of these: http://www.coversproject.com/artist/belle%20and%20sebastian/
have you?

Hmm. I think I might have a copy of their version of The Boy With The Thorn In His Side somewhere. I seem to remember that it was as un-noteworthy as Smiths covers almost always seem to be.

I'm the next person, and I'm pretty sure Belle and Sebastian are a heap of twee bobbins. Admitting it by going Mike Flowers is kind of an improvement!
