"textContent": "So I've started getting into black midi because I do what smarty pants music critics tell me to. Their latest album, Cavalcade, is great, even if it can get a little challenging to listen to while I'm at work. Anyway they've just released an EP of 3 fan-voted covers called Cavalcovers: King Crimson's \"21st Century Schizoid Man\", Taylor Swift's \"Love Story\", and Captain Beefheart's \"Moonlight on Vermont\". The first and last are right up black midi's alley, but the middle one's a bit of a curveball—and is fantastic. It's earnest where the other two are a little funny—which I think is what you're meant to expect from black midi—but earnest in a very lovable, respectful way. My other main highlight of the EP is the final verse of \"21st Century Schizoid Man\": the way that the vocals go completely off the deep end feels somehow more honest to the spirit of the song than the original is.
