Anika - Love Buzz(Crystals Cover)
I’ll be honest, I hadn’t even heard of Anika until this morning, and I’m pretty glad I did. Anika, has a retro, sorta sound, reminiscent of Nico.
Julia Stone - Bloodbuzz Ohio (National Cover)
With her sultry Australian accent, Julia whispers out a great cover of a great song.
Oberhofer - Runaway (Kanye West Cover)
Like everything else Oberhofer releases, this is brilliant. I think it’s pretty cool when bands aren’t afraid to tackle a cover song outside of their genre. Yep. Pretty cool.
“Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,
Let’s have a toast for the assholes,
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags,…..
Baby, I got a plan,…runaway as fast as you can..”
Ra Ra Riot - Valerie ft. Delicate Steve (Steve Winwood Cover)
Side one of a 7” Split with Delicate Steve to be released for Record Store Day. Ra Ra Riot has this 80’s sound down. Haha
Memoryhouse - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (Police Cover)
Amazing. Memoryhouse(one of my favorite bands right now) + The Police (Huge fan of them as well) = major win.
If you haven’t heard Memoryhouse yet, definitely look them up.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Ticket To Ride(Beatles Cover)
Perfect for an afternoon like this. Chill and acoustic. The Beatles are a tough band to cover(even though just about everyone and their mom attempt) but Leftwich nails it.
Mp3: Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Ticket To Ride(Beatles Cover)
Chris Cornell - I Will Always Love You ( Whitney Houston Cover)
Acoustic is almost always good,…..and an acoustic tribute to the recently passed legend Whitney Houston by Cornell? Pretty solid.
Florence and the Machine - Lover to Lover
New video from Flo. To be honest though, I don’t really care for videos like this, a little ho hum……….but…..Damn! What a frickin voice!
Great song. Great artist.
Mp3: Florence and the Machine - Postcards From Italy(Beirut Cover)
St. Vincent - Black (Pearl Jam Cover)
@ the Bowery Ballroom 1/21/12
The video isn’t the best, but wow! That voice! And what a song to tackle for a cover!
