What Is The Best "Head Like A Hole" Cover?

 The song "Head Like A Hole" was written and originally performed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails (NIN). I love that song and his version is irreplaceable.

But whenever a song gets really popular, lots of other musicians tend to want to try to cover the song and make a version of their own. They want to put their own creative spin on it.

Head Like A Hole is one of those songs that lots of people have covered.

Some artists who have covered the song are:


I was scrolling through some random artists and playlists on Spotify when I came across a new cover version. And I believe it is the best cover version yet. At least it is the best one I've ever heard.

The song is covered by Ryan Culwell and Aubrie Sellers. It is in the style of americana country or folk. It is a very different take on the song which was originally an industrial hard rock song, but it really works.

Here is the video for the song:



And here is the video for the original, so you can compare the two:



I listen to most of my music on Spotify, so I figured I'd share the cover version via Spotify as well. If you liked what you heard in the video, you can find the song on Spotify and like it or add it to a playlist.

I really liked the cover version. I liked the Johnny Cash cover version of Hurt better than the original Nine Inch Nails version. I'm not sure if I like this folky cover of Head Like A Hole quite as much as the NIN version, but it is very close.




What did you think of this song? Did you like it? How does it compare to the original? Let me know in the comments!

What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

Image
An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

 Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
