Hmm. So I've been playing the French Kicks nonstop this year. I'm a noob Fleetwood Mac fan (feel free to recommend your favorite album) and it's clear that the French Kicks are channeling some of that sound. Anyway, the point is I stumbled across their cover of Trouble this weekend. So I went back and found the original, which was done by some guy named Lindsey Buckingham? Who the fuck is that?? Heh, just joking white folk--though not really. I had to Wikipedia the dude to find out he was part of Fleetwood Mac. Yes, yes, the ignorance is indeed stunning. Anyway, all this is to say I think I like
the French Kicks cover better. Maybe the goofy video, which you can see below, turned me off.
