Weirdly, this cover version also sounds a bit like Sting/Peter Gabriel to me: [link]
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Wow, that was not long at all. RIP indeed. And what a great clip to link, sumi. Thanks.
Better quality version of that same clip: [link]

Sean -- You've heard tUnE-yArDs, yes?
Jon, no I have not! Please enlighten me!
And now - Greg Ham from Men at Work has died.
tUnE-yArDs (that's two videos there). Seems like Kimbra is doing something similar, although tUnE-yArDs seem a little edgier (i.e. preferable) to me.
Here is tUnE-yArDs playing live, showing how Merrill creates her drum and vocal loops on stage when performing.
Coincidentally just stumbled on another live-in-the-studio tUnE-yArDs video where you can see how the loops come together: [link]
