The Observer Business Friday, February 19, 2010 page 7 MARKET RECAP N.Y. judge questions Google deal Google’s new plan to preside over the world’s largest digital library raises questions

Associated Press

NEW YORK — A judge Thursday questioned whether Google and lawyers for authors and publishers went too far when they struck a deal that would let the gigantic search engine make money presiding over the world’s largest digital library. U.S. District Judge Denny Chin put lawyers who reached the $125 million settlement on the defensive as he presided over a fair- ness hearing in a packed Manhattan courtroom where opponents of the agreement spent several hours urging him to reject it or demand changes. He did not immediately rule. When the lawyers who completed revisions on the deal in the fall took their turn to speak, Chin ques- tioned why the settlement gave Google publishing rights well into the future rather than merely rectify- ing any harm that led authors and publishers to sue it five years ago. “Usually it’s a release of claims based on what’s hap- pened in the past.

Letters to the Editor They gain you street cred. True story.

By MAIJA GUSTIN, DECLAN SULLIVAN, JORDAN GAMBLE, STEPHANIE DePREZ, BRANDY CERNE, NICK ANDERSON Scene Writers

Since U Been Gone/ Maps — Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Originally by Kelly Clarkson and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs We already mentioned a cover of one of these songs, but I guess that Clarkson’s original was just so sweet it merits two! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs recorded the second half of this acoustic two-fer by Ted Leo, who has been touring with The Pharmacists since 1999. The mash-up works well, as Leo has the skill to seamlessly transition from one song to another, and the pure acoustic take on each brings out whole new feelings for each song. If that does- n’t do it for you, Leo is also a Notre Dame grad, so double bonus points that.

Love Rollercoaster — Red Hot Chili Peppers Originally by Ohio Players What happens when you cross a classic disco song, one of the most successful bands of the last two decades, and the Beavis and Butt-head movie? An awesome funk/rock cover song, duh. This cover was record- ed by the Chili Peppers for the movie soundtrack to “Beavis and Butt- head Do America,” so it does not appear on any of their studio albums. The original was recorded by the Ohio Players, and it is most definitely an awesome disco song in its own right, but the Chili Peppers’ version takes the classic and somehow manages to elevate it to epic-ness.

Fluorescent Adolescent — Kate Nash Originally by Arctic Monkeys The British speak-songstress, often compared (perhaps unnecessarily) to Lily Allen, covers fel- low Brits Arctic Monkeys’ “Fluorescent Adolescent” in a live recording from 2007. Nash’s version is just a little bit lighter, faster and more upbeat than the original, and her unique voice and musical style give it a little extra oomph that makes it hold itself up well against the Arctic Monkeys’ classic.

Yellow — Jem Originally by Coldplay Jem’s cover of “Yellow,” originally done by Coldplay, provides a completely different sound for the pop hit. Even though Coldplay’s original is seemingly very down-tempo, Jem sets it with light piano accompani- ment, making the lyrics far more intimate and giving it a very vulnerable tone. Turning the lyrics around and having them come from a woman instead of a man also makes this song appropriately separate from the original, and its own piece.

Womanizer — Lily Allen Originally by Britney Spears While Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” is fun, catchy and dance-party friendly, Lily Allen’s slowed-down version has a heavier weight to it. Her superior vocals and stripped-down quality lend the song more authenticity than Spears’ mass-produced pop. Allen’s trade- mark cheekiness present in all of her songs is also more suitable to “Womanizer’s” scolding message. Use Somebody — Paramore Originally by Kings of Leon Kings of Leon’s “Someone Like You” had barely hit the airwaves before Paramore’s acoustic cover took over YouTube. The raw recording of Hayley William’s voice above an acoustic guitar in the Live Lounge spurned many a negative comment, mostly for cover- ing a song so recent. It manages, though, to be dif- ferent enough to garner its own sort of respect, and brings a new tenderness to the song.

Under Pressure — My Chemical Romance and The Used Originally by Queen and David Bowie When David Bowie and Queen did this the first time, it was epic. When My Chemical Romance and The Used joined up to cover “Under Pressure,” it was suitably emo but still entertain- ing. Freddie Mercury would probably approve of Gerard Way’s wailing chorus, even if this version doesn’t do much to put a new spin on the song.

Since U Been Gone — Mark Ronson and Florence Welch Originally by Kelly Clarkson Brits Mark Ronson and Florence Welch take on American Idol Kelly Clarkson’s biggest hit as an acoustic number featuring Welch on vocals and Ronson on guitar. Welch’s unconventional and imperfect vocals may initially shock those used to Ms. Clarkson’s careening pop voice, but she seems oddly at home on this mid-2000s standard. Beloved as the original is, this cover deserves a listen, as it not only pays homage to Clarkson, but also creates something entirely new out of it as well.

Whatever You Like — Anya Marina Originally by T.I. This cover of the T.I. song starts off with Marina’s little-girl voice, and it sure sounds like some self-consciously precious back- ground music for “Gossip Girl” (which it was, for an episode last fall). With unmis- takable lines like “stacks on deck, Patron on ice,” it’s difficult not to sing along with this deliciously ironic remake. Let the Beat Build — Nyle Originally by Lil Wayne New York University college rapper Nyle took the hook from Lil Wayne’s song and repurposed it with the help of about 40 of his classmates, recording the audio track and video together in one take. While the song itself veers away from Lil Wayne’s lyrics (such as when Nyle raps “we don’t need no samples, got a girl with a banjo”), the homage does serve as a great basic for a frankly amazing clip, which has racked up thou- sands of hits on YouTube.

Naive — Lily Allen Originally by The Kooks Lily Allen tackles Brit-import The Kooks’ “Naive,” turning the indie hit into a fluffier tune, done in Allen’s typical nonchalant, light pop style. It sounds almost nothing like the original, but does it justice just the same. It relies almost sole- ly on Allen’s vocals and a little guitar, very unlike the rock tune, but is a great testament to the ver- satility of the Kooks’ lyrics and harmonies.

You Belong With Me — Butch Walker and the Black Widows Originally by Taylor Swift We have all tried to resist singing along with Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” but it is pretty much impossible. Butch Walker’s folksy version captures this catchiness but makes the song actually enjoyable and fun to listen to. Switching out a few lyrics and adding a man- dolin, Walker’s cover is endlessly listenable. Be ready to sing along without feeling any guilt. Satisfaction — Cat Power Originally by The Rolling Stones It takes a certain amount of guts to cover a song when you know for certain that there is no possible way to outperform the original. Instead, most bands just play the best tribute they can. Cat Power took the opposite route when covering The Rolling Stone’s iconic “Satisfaction.” Dropping the universally known opening rift as well as the well-worn chorus, Chan Marshall makes the song near unrecognizable. Marshall reverses the tone but creates a reflection on the meaning that can only be understood in light of the 35-year difference between the recordings.

Hounds of Love — The Futureheads Originally by Kate Bush Covers have become the stomping grounds of ironic hipsters. Take a song that’s not cool, play it, and at worst you can all laugh about how uncool the song is. The correct way to do it is to take a song you love and try to make it better. The Futureheads, a young, punkish foursome from Sutherland, did just that with Kate Bush’s “Hounds of Love,” the guitar driven, semi-a cappella rendition of Bush’s 1986 minor hit. It tops the original not only in style but also on the charts.

Rafalski finished the late outburst in the last minute. After winning only once in six games (1-4-1) four years ago in Turin, the United States will have a chance to capture Group A with a victory over heavily favored Canada on Sunday. With only a 3-1 victory Tuesday over Switzerland, the U.S. was in danger of tiebreaker problems should it fall to Canada. Four teams clinch spots in the quarterfinals, while the other eight countries will play for the other four spots. Goal differential is a key tiebreaker, so lopsided wins are beneficial. The Americans held a 15-2 shots advantage through the first period and 23-9 after 40 minutes. But Miller was beaten for a short-handed goal by Marius Holtet in the second. That gave the Norwegians, seeded 11th in the 12-team tournament, something to cele- brate after an 8-0 loss in their opener to Canada on Tuesday night. Chants of “USA USA” broke out less than 20 seconds in and before the Americans recorded their first shot. Unlike Wednesday, when ABBA music was played during stoppages of Sweden’s game against Germany, U.S. artists—Bruce Springsteen, John Denver, Bon Jovi—were on the playlist. Not to be outdone, many fans decked out in red—Norway and Canada varieties — yelled sup- port for the decided underdogs. The Americans’ top line con- nected in the second period for its first goal. Kane slipped a pass to Zach Parise at the left point and charged to the net as the New Jersey Devils’ forward fired a shot. Pal Grotnes, who despite allowing four goals called the loss to Canada the best game he ever played, left a big rebound off his pad that Kane steered into the open right side to make it 3-0 at 5:52. Grotnes didn’t finish the game against Canada and was said to have leg cramps. The U.S. had numerous chances to put the game away on its power play, but never got it in sync. Kane made a nifty move deep in the zone to get around a defender, drawing ooohs from the crowd. But instead of shooting, he tried to pass to captain Jamie Friday, February 19, 2010 The Observer N SPORTS page 17
