Vanessa Carlton - Where The Streets Have No Name

[Mark Freedman]

Ok, I was afraid to hear this, but now that I have, I think she did a pretty damn good job.

 

[ylimeU2]

Who is Vanessa Carlton?

 

[Mark Freedman]

She had that huge hit a couple of years ago -- A Thousand Miles. Coming out with a new album, and has that new single getting a lot of airplay -- White Houses.

 

[bcrt2000]

is where the street have no name also on the new album?

 

[Mark Freedman]

Yep.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Her cover of "Paint it Black" also kicked MAD ass. It was disturbingly dark in contrast to the single, which is true of much of the album. Is the new album out yet?

 

[Mark Freedman]

Not yet -- "officially" 11/9.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Also, when's the last time someone this cute covered Streets?

Certainly cuter than Tom Morello, Flea, Serj Tankin, and Maynard James Keenan (Talented as those guys are)

 

[macphistofreak]

Where can I listen to it online?

 

[Mark Freedman]

Not sure. The album was leaked.

 

[Bono's shades]

Everyone seems to be covering Streets these days...

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Everyone seems to be covering Streets these days...

Pet Shop Boys
Axis of Justice
Vanessa Carlton

At least that's an interesting range of styles and commercial standing. Very much an universal choice. Now all we need are the inevitable P Diddy samples on the next Mase album.

 

[Anirban]

add clay aiken to that list...
shameful...

 

[Mark Freedman]

Ouch -- Caly Aiken's version hurt.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

We shall not speak his name.

 

[Mark Freedman]

Vanessa's is the best cover I heard of it so far.

 

[Anirban]

can anyone email it to me? i can't find it on soulseek or warez...

edit: sorry! arbhatta@gmail.com

Vanessa Carlton covering streets?
She's a pop singer and I dont get into her music at all (although "Thousand Miles" was stuck in my head for days like everyone else in this country), but she's cute and she is talented, a good piano player. I remember seeing something on TV where she said about Bono, "I just had never seen a man sing like that. It's almost operatic." You go girl!!! Would like to hear her cover.

 

[Bunbury]

Is it any good or is it shit??

 

[jick]

can someone please email it to me?

atyclb4ever@yahoo.com

Also, where can I find that version with Flea, Morello, and Keenan?

Cheers,

J

 

[jick]

No need to email. I got it already.

Its a great version.

Cheers,

J

Wow it's not bad at all, I'm really surprised. Still like the Pet Shop Boys over better though.

 

[learn2kneel]

Very good cover. She does the edge's guitar on the piano. The intro is worth having the song alone.

 

[Nate Dogg]

could someone e-mail me this?

njf377@gmail.com

thanks

 

[neutral]

I can't stop listening to this

 

[phommel]

Ehere can I find it? I want it!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

It looks like, according to Nessaholics message board anyway, it's not gonna be on the album. I'll be buying the album anyway, but if anybody could send it to jasonccash@yahoo.com I'll shower them with mint chocolate chip ice cream (in tubs so no one gets sticky)

 

[Mark Freedman]

Huh? It most definitely is on the album. Track 7 (originally planned for track 11).

 

[Catman]

Matchbox Twenty also covered "Streets"

Yeah, I'd like to hear Vanessa Carlton's cover, too...

You know there was a persistent rumour, thank Christ it never came to fruition, that Creed was going go do a live medley of "My Sacrifice" with Streets on their last tour...
