Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

June: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Santa Esmeralda (a cover of the song by the marvelous Nina Simone). Love his vocals and the band just playing their hearts out. I like this energetic take on the song compared to the more slow, sad, and somber original. Of the many, many covers, this is probably my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu9QH71YKQw
July: Raphael Saadiq and Rob Bacon doing a NPR Music Tiny Desk concert. I cannot tell you how many times I have started my workday with this video. Watching these two guys play guitar and sing is just a pure treat. Especially considering how long their music careers span and how little people talk about them. Raphael just has amazing vocal chops and an aura about him that pulls you in.

And I can somewhat see your point on Nina. I love her version as well but a cover is just the purest form of flattery for an artists. Especially considering the song has been covered over 20 times. Wild as everyone always wants to attribute the song to The Animals not giving Nina the credit she deserves.
