The thing about this particular song is that it's like it's Boston on meth. Or just Boston :). It's a great song not because of the lyrics -- which are on Letters to Cleo's site and make a bit more sense than you'd think from trying to understand the words Kay is singing here -- but because of the speed with which she is singing, which is frankly astounding (as well as tremendously cute :). <br /><br />As for what a Louisiana band covering "Here and Now" would sound like, not a whole lot of grunge bands from Louisiana, Louisiana is more of a country and bluegrass place along with some jazz down New Orleans way. So I imagine it'd sound sort of like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pVW2F3Y5oM" rel="nofollow">this</a>... which is why I'm a long, long ways away from Louisiana, yo!<br /><br />- Badtux the Non-babbling PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-9233623808715510682011-02-17T21:55:27.465-08:002011-02-17T21:55:27.465-08:00This is the one song by Letters to Cleo that is wo...<i>This is the one song by Letters to Cleo that is worth listening to</i><br /><br />Oh, you can just kiss my Bay State Yankee ass. I loved Letters To Cleo when I was still living in Massachusetts. And frankly, I'd like to hear what a band from Louisiana covering "Here And Now" would sound like. I'm guessing it would sound like The Residents on angeldust... ;-)Jim Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614500796136679068noreply@blogger.com
