The Sundays are one of those sleeper bands, the kind who don’t have one or two big hits buried in a sea of mediocre songs, but smack that musical fastball into the outfield EVERY FLIPPING TIME.
Here they’re doing a cover of some song by Mick the Jagger or whoever. I’ve learned that Jagger and the Stones that Roll are four guys from Britain who, despite being older than Yoda, still run around the world, holding rock concerts and such where they actually play their own instruments and sing, the fuddy duddies, rather than lip-sync to backing tracks recorded in the studio and auto-tuned so horrifically that T-Pain vows to never again have his voice digitally altered one tiny itty bit.
Also: the lead singer of The Sundays has the voice of an angel and the face of a supermodel. That never hurts.

I love The Sundays. I would kill* to sing like Harriet Wheeler. And this is a wonderful cover!

That’s a nice version!
You’re right – voice of an angel. I’ve never been much of a Stones fan, but still… I must see them before they die and they do come to S.F. every so often…
One of my favorites!
