    The girlfriend was listening to the radio there tonight and she was telling me about some cover of Genie in the Bottle. Apparently it's a vaguely rock-like cover with some girl singing it. It's a bit faster than the original as well. I know that description's a bit poor but if anyone knows who did this cover I'd be eternally in your debt as I really wanna get it for the girlie. Thanks a lot lads.

    They were on Top Of The Pops a few weeks ago. I don't know their name but I do know that the lead singer/guitar woman thing had her Les Paul set up so the E and A strings were setup for harmonics ala a 12 string.

    Indeed they're called Speedway. The Freelance Hellraiser version that uses the Strokes as the backing music is better and predates Speedway by 18 months or so.

    That version is a bunch of arse. As robbo points out the Strokes bootleg is miles better, but even that is pretty weak...

    Aguilera is just wrong, whatever way you look at it
