| chatelainedc | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 18:24 I love that this crazy song exists, and I love that this is probably the only place I would ever hear it. Bravo. |
| skooba (The tip of Americas Wang) | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 18:23 Ouch, this is painful. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 18:22 A square peg in a round hole. |
| zair99 (In Cognito) | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 18:22 Nope. Nope nope nope! |
| Jörg_Asmussen | Posted: Aug 09, 2011 - 02:20 Love both of them, but this tune turned my stomach around. Never before has a song accomplished that. Thank heavens this song is followed up by Arcade Fire. Now my stomach is getting better. |
| ciolca (Bucharest) | Posted: Aug 09, 2011 - 02:14 such a boring cover... |
| neuticle (fog fog fog) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:30 kind of lame..wish they had redone the vocals ..sounds like the cheesy remix that it is, below both artists IMO |
| suesblues (Sydney, Australia) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:27 It's funny, Heart of Glass is so funky and fast and fun, so this sloooow cover gives it a distinct wistful sound, that melancholy somehow feels right for a reinterpretation.... so thumbs up from me, I wouldnt want to listen to it a lot, but it is AFFIRMATIVE of the right place for nostalgia and looking backwards |
| kyleminor (San Francisco) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:26 Um... THAT is insane. I... love? ... it? |
| modemhead | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:26 This brings to mind all the joy I have cleaning the dryer lint filter. Well, actually the execution of the task is no fun at all, but I am really glad when it's over. |
| burdell (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:25 wow. simply wow |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:24 I hated the song. Now, I hate this mix - to quote Richard Thompson: "A meeting of great minds! How nice! Like Einstein and Sporty Spice..." |
| Boreal (Alaska) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 17:24 This is OK. ONCE!!!!! |
| zanref | Posted: Jun 07, 2011 - 01:57 Sounds simply magnifique this late! Can't understand why it's less then 7. |
| prickelpit96 (Where the grass is green and the ball is round, meet me in the stand behind the goal.) | Posted: Jun 07, 2011 - 01:54 Amazing! Love the both original songs. |
| CanyonMan (Pacific Palisades, CA) | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 22:27 Fascinating. The perfect tension between harmony and dissonance really works.... I'm not a fan of either Blondie or Glass, but this is very cool. Not that I would listen to it very often or anything.... But what a unique experience. |
| merobreno | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 22:15 Bill, I love what you do but, honestly, this thing with Glass has to end. Really. his work is like Chop Stix on luds. It's childish. And this mix is just an abomination of a dynamic pop song. Get over the Glass thing. |
| bc (It's everything. Location, Location, Location.) | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 22:12 I was working away and heard the piano. Fine... I heard Debbie Harry singing. I started laughing. I knew this HAD to be Phillip Glass only because the Blondie song was Heart Of Glass. I checked to find that this was, indeed, a great musical pun. It's amazing how well they come together, too... Fitting together so well, breaking into dissonance, then coming back. Thanks for playing this. There's no way I would have heard it anywhere else. |
| wonderunit (St. Edhar) | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 22:08 I'm ready for my colonoscopy now. |
| jkhandy (Near the ocean (in my mind)) | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 22:08 WTF? |
| hschlossberg (Los Angeles) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 11:55 I really like it. It reminds me of Philip Glass' album, "Songs from Liquid Days", where his music was matched with lyrics and/or vocals from Linda Ronstadt, The Roches, Paul Simon and others. |
| duncanidaho | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 11:55 Interesting, then bit boring, then horrible, then I got to quite like it. No idea what to rate it! Only on RP. Keep surprising us (-; |
| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 11:53 I don't like the original Blondie version, but I like this version. What little Phillip Glass I've heard I've not liked. |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 11:51 Some things that are good separately should never go together. A horse and cabbage, curry and custard, beer and wine, and now Blondie and Philip Glass. This was appalling from the very first bars, and an immediate 1 from the appalled Nottingham jury. Who's put this dire concoction together? It can't be the idea of either Philip Glass or Debbie Harry, I'm sure. |

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 09:00 FlatCat wrote: Blondie - 10 Agreed. Philip Glass strikes me as being an important avant garde composer because he's convinced enough people that his noodling should be thought of as the work of an important avant garde composer. If you truly appreciate his structure and theory, this observational glass doesn't hold water, of course. To my ears and analysis, it's similar to my experience of being in art school and 'talking your work good' to certain instructors despite it being uninspired mediocrity.Philip Glass - 0 10 * 0 = 0 |
| membeth (Washington, D.C.) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:55 This was a lot better in practice than the concept sounded in theory. I'm pretty impressed. Not that I'd really want it in regular rotation, but it's pretty neat. |

| Webfoot (Eugene, Oregon) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:54 Lighten up people! |
| modrakocka (far from home) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:54 I get it, they have the same chord progression, and wow, the song is called Heart of Glass, and the composer was Phillip Glass. That's interesting the first time, but anything beyond is disappointing, especially as it starts off without the Blondie. |

| MojoJojo (Indianapolis, IN USA) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:54 The concept is more entertaining than the listening. |
| Shae (stamford, CT) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:54 This is a shocker..and I like it! |

I completely agree. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet CAN I GO HOME NOW?) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:52 I love the piano part but the rest is a travesty.......leave it to RP to play something you've never heard. Good, but ditch the Blond. |
| crispynz1 | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:51 oh no |
| SAM_I_AM (Ladera Ranch, CA) | Posted: Apr 18, 2011 - 08:51 Please don't ever play this mess again. Thank you. |

| ufamsm (Phoenix, AZ, USA) | Posted: Apr 04, 2011 - 20:37 Actually, I think that one totally worked in a strange sort of way. Oddly relaxing. |

| bluematrix (confluence of mississippi and missouri rivers) | Posted: Apr 04, 2011 - 20:12 interesting. and kudos to bill once again for pushing musical boundaries (and buttons too from the likes of the comments). |
