The Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These” has seen a variety of covers from different artists since it released in 2003.

And recently, a group from the North West Ambulance Service has taken on the song to raise funds to support the staff and the communities in the northwest region of England. So far, they have raised around £6,000 (or $7,468), NME reported.

“Thanks for listening. This was a fun project for some of the staff working for the North West Ambulance Service. It was something positive to focus on during the recent tough times,” the video caption said.

Andrew Wood, who’s the North West Ambulance Service team leader, said that they were inspired by BBC Radio 1’s cover of the song that dropped in April.

“I decided to choose the song because the lyrics really hit home with everything that was going on with Covid-19 and the pressure that it was putting on all of the NHS, not just the ambulance service,” Wood told The Mail.

Watch the North West Ambulance Service workers perform their version of the Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These” below.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
