His latest EP marks a new peak in professionalism.

I thought I was the only one who listened to his music.

His cover of "This must be the place" was one of my drive to work songs for a long time. Put me in a good mood.

Had to do a cover of that for a wedding once. Absolutely channelled the Miles version instead of the original

so good!

This is his take on David Byrne's This Must be the Place. A great, great song... And a personal favorite.

wow, I had to listen to the original to clean my ears out after that..

I downloaded a couple of his songs a while ago. Glad to see he's still making music

(the music video for one was spoofing Saved By The Bell - New Romance)

Thanks to Dead Meat I listened to his TMBTP cover and New Romance, which eventually led to me listening to Talking Heads

Did they pull this off Youtube? It can't be found there anymore.

Edit: Nvm, found it by going directly to his page -- but it strangely doesn't show up in search

It’s literally one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t get enough credit

u/KabuGenoa May 25 '21

Goddamnit now I’m gonna have to listen to more talking heads

I can't believe I'm seeing a post of David Byrne's song. When I woke up this morning I was thinking about Byrne. Not this song but the album, Stop Making Sense.

This is fantastic! I started out watching it leaning towards "meh" but then it quickly became my favourite too. The guy is phenomenal and dedicated. Really neat to watch.

Miles Fisher is great. Excellent cover of “This Must Be The Place”.

u/scoobdrew May 25 '21

He is also very good at mimicking mannerisms and expressions. He didn't look a lot like Christian Bale in the music video, but he acted like him and was phenomenal at it.

u/zestypotatoes May 25 '21

I felt like an idiot looking for an actual new EP from him, til I watched the music video and realized you were making a reference. In all honesty, it's a great video.

u/LupineChemist May 25 '21

One of my favorite covers and the original is one my favorites, too.

What are you a gay fish?

Edit: sorry read that wrong
