The Peter Gabriel/Hot Chip cover of Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa is the weirdest thing to happen to music since Solsbury Hill.  No, since Gregorian chant was hit with the Hypomixolydian mode.  No, scratch that, since two Neanderthals accidentally banged their clubs together inside a reverberant cave.

“And it feels so unnatural to sing your own name.”
