Ingrid Michaelson – Skinny Love

Here’s Ingrid Michaelson covering Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love”:

It’s always interesting to me to see musicians covering other musicians’ work. It’s a very direct attribution to the original creator, and it probably happens more in pop music than in any other art form, at least at this point in time.

“Copying” art and attributing artistic predecessors are interesting things to think about. I would argue that the majority of the hip-hop world is built on honoring those that came before. Some call it copying, I call it respect.

But it’s 2:11 am so maybe I should talk more about that later.

  1. This post reminded me of a quote I saw on dctobc.com recently: http://www.dctobc.com/2009/01/motivational-words/

    Check out the quote from Jim Jarmusch

  2. Great quote! I’ll have to hold onto that one.
