So I’ve never listened to Tegan & Sara before, but they really kill it on this acoustic cover of Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark.” There’s also no synth or eighties flavor to it. If you’ve always passed on this Springsteen classic because of that corny eighties sound, take another chance with this one. It’s worth [...]
So this week, we’ve got the Chili Peppers doing their version of Jimi Hendrix‘s classic live from Woodstock 1999. Click here to see Jimi do the original 30 years earlier at the first Woodstock. For some reason, the Hendrix video is better quality….O and by the way, just a warning: Flea’s performing naked, but who [...]
Remember when Oasis was going to be the next Beatles? Here they are doing their best impression.
Ok so I know it’s not our usual day for Cover of the Week and it’s not an Australian band, but I’m a little thrown off of everything over here and this song has been stuck in my head. Also, it has two really good artists in one song. This is Lykke Li’s take on [...]
Yes, someone did make a cover to the classic booty anthem by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Jonathan Coulton puts a little country twist on the song that makes the dong go bong and badunkadunks shake, rattle, and roll.
This one’s been around for a while, but it’s hard to get sick of a good rendition of them Beach Boys…especially God Only Knows. Oh, and this girl in the video is not Joss Stone, but it’s all Google Video had. Enjoy!
This one is recent. It comes from Wilco front-man Jeff Tweedy. If you don’t know the song already, it is the beautiful “Fake Plastic Trees” from Radiohead.
Bon Iver swoons an excellent cover of The Outfield’s smash hit “Your Love” in this Cover of the Week. If someone could take the initiative and find out which eighties movie this one comes from, I’d love to know. I’m just a little lazy – hell, I’m on winter vacation. Posted by Joe.
The original is one of my favorite songs of all time. Ben Harper isn’t quite as sensual as Marvin Gaye, but just the fact that he can hold a candle to the original says something about how talented he is. (The music doesn’t start until about 1:30)
Okay, so this one is probably a stretch for “normal” people, but this is a REALLY awesome version of a REALLY awesome song. So basically, you can’t lose.
