Following on from their storming version of 'Burning Down The House' for the recent 'Stop Making Sense' Talking Heads covers album, David Byrne put his spin on one of my favourite Paramore tunes, 'Hard Times', and it slaps. I can't think of a more perfect track for him to cover. It has that same tongue-in-cheek feelgood air about it that he's always had, and it almost feels like it's coming to you directly from the lounge of a private beach resort somewhere in Cuba. It's beyond joyful in every possible way, and I am 100% here for it.
