Who does the Nick Drake-a-like version of Kylie's "Hand On My Heart"?

And can they be stopped?

José González!

He's done an acoustic cover of The Knife's 'Heartbeats' too. Surprisingly it is OK. I have not heard this one though.

It's dreadful, Tom is right. His version of Heartbeats is, I think, excellent, quite an effective recasting. Bits of the Veneer elpee are quite lovely though it would probably send any reasonable poptimist into a coma if you listened to it all the way through. Quite nice taken bit by bit though.

Yeah, I thought it was technically quite good, he's good at being Nick Drake in the same way that Nouvelle Vague are pretty good at what they've chosen to do. But it's a dreadful disservice to the original record.
