Word.

On a completely unrelated note: Am I the only one who feels compelled to commit physical violence upon mustached hipsters?!

unprovoked violence? Do tell why? Should I shave my mustached face to avoid an attack?

While not released until November 1st, there is at least a good minute-plus of Canadian Jann Arden's cover of Dreams at the link below. In the small interview clip before the track starts, Jann says some pretty great things about Stevie. I thought it might be worth posting here for you guys.

Beautiful!

Very nice cover. Her voice is great.

Jann Arden is great! If you haven't heard anything from her album "Living under June" you should check it out!

Very Nice. Yes she has a fine voice.

Oh I love Jann Arden... her voice is beautiful. The cover isn't too bad either.. I didn't like the plinky plodding keys in the beginning though

Wow, she looks different these days. This version of Dreams actually really reminds me of the Glee version. I'm still shocked how much I enjoy the Glee rendition of Dreams. It's probably the only cover of Dreams which has ever come anywhere near the original. Who would have thought Kristen Chenoweth could nail Stevie so amazingly? Or that such a vapid show (IMO) could really capture the essence of the original song so beautifully?

Thanks for posting this! I love Stevie Nicks, and I love Canadians! Jann Arden is too cute when she talks about Stevie and the lyrics.

Fleetwood Mac “Dreams (Megaman & Panic City Remix)”

There are few songs in the world that are as honest-to-God, capital-p Perfect as Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”.

The song, one of many crazy-beloved entries housed on the group’s 1977 blockbuster classic Rumours, just feels like the result of the planets and stars aligning in a certain magical way; the soft, warm churn of the steady drum hits and guitar flourishes having the power to transport one’s mind to a state of dreamy bliss from second one, and the somber heartache found in Stevie Nicks’ distinctive rasp as she comes to terms with the finality of a romance damn near leaving one wanting to be nursing a bruised heart over a glass of wine in the dark just so her words can dig in deeper all amounting to a gem that’s never un-welcome when hit by a random spin of it at any time of the day.

No wonder then, that the song has experienced a renewed life of sorts in the past decade (otherwise known as the “Nothing Is Un-Remixable” era) with countless DJ’s and producers taking a stab at giving “Dreams” a modernized luster, whether in darker, (whatever)-gaze-y framings that emphasize the emotional ache behind the lyric, or flashier dancefloor revisions that pay tribute to the song’s timelesss greatness with a fist-pump grandeur club-sparkle seemingly specifically made to incite various drunken “THAT’S MY SONG!!!” exclamations once the TGIF night crowd figure out what song is being tinkered with beyond the thump.

This latest remix, by DJ’s Megaman and Panic City, falls into the latter category and it’s simply fantastic, utilizing many familiar dance production tricks in such a grandiose way that the whole thing deserves a slot on a post-midnight NYE playlist to help sustain that giddy celebratory feeling long after the ball has dropped.

Sounds very karaoke to me.....more the music than her singing
