Something's Different About This Song

Acoustic. Live. Remix. Demo. Instrumental. There are many ways make an alternate version of a song. Leave it to the Contrast Podcast to do just that.

This week's theme of "Alternate Versions of Songs" provides many different versions of songs I thought I knew, including a beautiful acoustic version of the Guillemots' "Trains to Brazil" provided by Marcy from Lost In Your Inbox. Listen to it here. And click here to listen to the original version.

My choice this week was actually a last-minute submission. I randomly came across "This Time Is The Last Time" by Mae and realized there was a remix of it and quickly turned it in.

The original:
This Time Is The Last Time from Destination: Beautiful
The alternate version:
This Time Is The Last Time [Wave Remix] from Destination: B-Sides

Next week is the Contrast Podcast song chain. I have no clue what to expect but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

thanks, andy. : ) i kind of resisted the acoustic version of trains for a while, but now i love it, too.

i don't have any idea what the song chain is, either. we'll have to wait and see!
