Why do we like this?
Two covers in two days for Song of the Day? Sorry I'm not sorry -- but this cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Games" by London Grammar just knocked my socks off.

Certainly the London-based group are not the first to cover this song. Indeed, this past year we've featured amazing versions by the likes of Parra For Cuva and Widowspeak, each within their own right absolutely amazing renditions.

But this version totally exceeded my expectations for one major reason: it was recorded live at BBC1's Maida Vale session yesterday. Frankly, the recording is good enough for this to have been mastered in a studio. It's no wonder they uploaded it to their SoundCloud...
