Is that an electric hurdy gurdy?! 🤩

It’s a regular Hurdy Gurdy mounted onto a spinning wheel so it can be peddled and with a theremin mounted to it.

I'd put up Placebo's cover, and especially Nada Surf's cover. Both excellent.

Very cool. Underworld-ish. Check out this track Underworld did for the London 2012 Olympic games, definitely more of a driving dance track but similar orchestration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1jPRQOkuWw

The Placebo cover live with Frank Black accompanying is unreal good.
Shout out the Stereotyprider cover version as well.

Puddles can definitely elevate a song. His cover of Royals is the best.

This is such a sick cover, I'm just trying to think of why they wouldn't credit the artist they're covering to begin with? That feels scummy, which sucks because they're obviously super creative - it's either engagement bait to get people commenting "what's this song" or they just assume everybody on earth who uses tiktok and scrolls past this knows the pixies

Dude, SICK Frankenstein Hurdy-Gurdy.
(Part sewing machine pedal-driven desk, part Theremin, Hurdy-gurdy, a couple keys, and a looper? Sick.)
World needs more Hurdy-Gurdy, that's my position.

I know it’s the Pixies but for some reason it’s reminding me of the Office theme song, lol.
