The performance was recorded earlier in the month, during the band's recent tour of Australia, though it was broadcast on the morning of Friday, March 21 (Australia time). Though triple j have long presented the covers as being live, Fontaines D.C. vocalist Grian Chatten told fans on Monday (March 17) the band were forced to cancel a run of shows in Mexico and Latin America after he suffered a herniated disc which left him unable to perform.
As is standard for Like a Version, Fontaines D.C.'s appearance launched with a rendition of an original, with the band tearing through 2024's 'Starburster' before debuting their Bring Me the Horizon tribute. Though officially billed as a rendition of 'Can You Feel My Heart,' the performance shifts focus after the first chorus and sees Chatten instead singing the lyrics to Nirvana's 1993 single 'Heart-Shaped Box.'
'I think the sound of that song, the electronic elements, and just the general vibe of it kind of reflects stuff that we were touching on our last album, Romance,' explained guitarist Conor Curley in a post-performance interview.
'It kind of seemed like a good place to start, and it's a moody, beautiful song. I always get a little a bit nostalgic about that band just because it reminds me of reading and crying as a teenager and stuff like that, so I've always kind of kept tabs on them.'
''Heart-Shaped Box' is an absolute classic,' he added in reference to Nirvana's appearance in the performance. 'Grian just started singing it when we were getting the sounds, and it was almost kind of like, 'Do we switch it to that and use the instrumentation?' So, it kind of just made sense.'
Notably, it's not the first time that Fontaines D.C. have been the focus of the Like a Version studio in recent months. In February, Porter Robinson used his appearance on the segment to cover the band's 2024 single 'Favourite.'
''Favourite' was, no pun intended, one of my favorite songs of the last year,' Robinson said after the fact. 'It was the song that made me a fan of Fontaines D.C. I just love it. I love major-key music. I love music that's extremely catchy and extremely hooky. And I love the way that this song feels like it's constantly tumbling forward.'
Having first launched in 2004, the Like a Version series has gone from being a near-impromptu acoustic affair to featuring larger studio productions. Numerous artists have taken part over the past two decades, with the likes of Billie Eilish, Childish Gambino, Arctic Monkeys, and more reinventing classic tracks in the process.

HR exec in Coldplay cheating scandal married into one of the oldest, wealthiest families in Boston: ‘The Cabots speak only to God'
The HR executive at the center of a viral infidelity scandal married into one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston. Kristin Cabot, who is on leave from her job at Astronomer following the embarrassing caught-on-Jumbotron incident last week, appears to be married to Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot, according to social media posts. 3 Kristin Cabot was caught on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert sharing an embrace with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who resigned since the scandal broke. Grace Springer via Storyful The allegedly jilted husband touts his family lineage as the sixth-generation owner of the longstanding rum brand, founded by the 'original' Andrew Cabot. Advertisement The Cabot fortune has transcended generations, and was estimated at $200 million in a 1972 New York Times profile of the family. That's $15.4 billion in 2025. 3 Cabot, who was an HR executive with the company, married into one of Boston's oldest and wealthiest families. LinkedIn/Kristin Cabot It's not clear when Kristin and Andrew got married, but it's at least the second marriage for both. Advertisement Her previous divorced was finalized in 2022. Kristin Cabot's now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an 'advisory board member' at Privateer Rum since September 2020. Property records show that they bought a $2.2 million house on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year. The Cabot family is one of the original 'Boston Brahmin' clans that controlled New England for centuries — a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold. Advertisement The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as 'carbon black,' a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England for 10 generations. But, family members have been behind a slew of businesses across New England — including the rum company. The family patriarch, Samuel Cabot, kick-started the family's fortune by marrying Eliza Perkins, the daughter of wealthy merchant trader. 3 Photos of the her family appearing happy and affectionate were seen plastered all over Kristin Cabot's social media accounts in the wake of the scandal. Maud Cabot/Facebook Advertisement The family is so well known in Boston it's said locally that the 'Cabots speak only to God.' As a local poem goes, ' And this is good old Boston/ The home of the bean and the cod/ Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God.' The Cabots of yesteryear were seafarers and merchants who partook in the slave and opium trade in the early 19th century. They shared portions of their largesse over the years with New England educational institutions like Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Norwich University and the Perkins School for the blind, according to the profile. Heir Francis Cabot, of New York, once said of his family that over the years they've been 'interested in two things — one is marrying rich women and the other is group singing.'

Fans Are Ecstatic Over Kerrygold's New 'Rich' and 'Comforting' Item: 'Oh My Heavens'
Fans Are Ecstatic Over Kerrygold's New 'Rich' and 'Comforting' Item: 'Oh My Heavens' originally appeared on Parade. As far as butter brands go, Kerrygold is worth its weight in, well, gold. It's quite literally the gold standard in high-quality butter, and while it's slightly more expensive than your casual stick of Land 'O Lakes, it's still reasonably affordable for the average home cook. It's renowned for its golden hue and unmistakably buttery flavor that gets a boost from its higher fat content and nuanced cultured profile. Some even say it has a slightly grassy bouquet due to their use of milk from grass-fed Irish cows. Being the cream of the crop might seem effortless for the undisputed heavyweight champ of butter, but even icons know that it's important to reinvent themselves. Much like Beyoncé seamlessly transitions from the atmospheric synth-pop beats of house music to the crooning, bleeding heart of country, Kerrygold continues to prove why it's earned its spot at number one on the Butter Hot 100 that it needs to be anything more than the reliably delicious spread that it is, but we won't complain about getting a little something extra from our fave now and then. In a move we never saw coming, the beloved butter brand just announced a decidedly sweet new item that's got our imagination running wild with possibilities. If you thought the OG was good, wait until you get a load of the new Cinnamon & Sugar Butter sticks from Kerrygold. We totally understand if you're right, friends. As if it couldn't get any butter (pun intended), the fan-favorite butter brand just announced that you can now find the sweetly nostalgic sticks out in the wild, and yes, we're hyperventilating. The rich and comforting sticks feature the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, rounded out by lemon juice and salt for balance. Not only would this be great softened and spread on crusty bread, but it's the ultimate cinnamon shortcut and would be fantastic on top of waffles. You could even whip it up into a luxurious buttercream frosting, but we won't tell if you just take a bite right out of the stick itself. As expected, fans (myself included) were losing their minds in the comments. 'Respectfully, please give it to me,' demanded one fan. 'OMG 😮,' said someone else. And of course, there were plenty of recipe ideas, including everything from 'French toast' and 'biscuits' to 'croissants' and 'snickerdoodle cookies.' If you're looking to try it out for yourself, the sweet new sticks have been spotted at Target and Whole Foods stores and will likely pop up wherever the brand is sold. While we are forever satisfied with this new innovation from Kerrygold, one fan offered another hit of inspo, saying, 'Now create chocolate butter and we can talk lol.'

Watch Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman and walk-on Isaiah Dunn funny segment on SportsCenter
With Notre Dame football making its annual New York media trip, head coach Marcus Freeman a more than a few Irish players are making their rounds on various shows. One of those was ESPN's SportsCenter, and while Freeman thought that he'd just be speaking with Kevin Negandhi, that wasn't the case. Walk-on cornerback Isaiah Dunn was on the set as well, and surprised his head coach while on a video call for the interview. The senior from California wasn't one of the players accompanying Freeman to New York, but instead was in Bristol, Connecticut and had quite the question for this head coach. Dunn asked who, on a random Tuesday practice, would come up with a big interception, and his coach picked the 'host' to make the play. It's another reason why players really love playing for Freeman, he always has their backs along with a generally great sense of humor. The relationships that he's forged with former, current and future Irish players has been impressive, and one of the big reasons why Notre Dame is becoming one of the top teams to play for. See the full interaction below. Contact/Follow us @IrishWireND on X (Formerly Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes, and opinions.
