Covers

I REALLY wish that Lianne La Havas would do a studio recording of her sexy/jazzy/soulful cover of Radiohead's 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi'. Doubt it happens, so I'll just have to stick with live versions like this.



And a bonus clip featuring Lianne's simple but effective cover of Twin Dragon's 'Twice'.

 

[EvanBenner]

New cover of The Cure by Atlas Lab. (Their own album is great and still $2 + s/h at Feedbands.)

 

[Dead C]

 

[Waitressboy]

Conchita Wurst with an orchestra covering Alanis Morissette.
I still don't know what to do with this.

 

[Jan]

DJ Koze covering Kings of Convenience

 

[Bohnjaggs]

I don't think that the JQBX room appreciated this one very much ... Especially @Colonel_Angus

BECAUSE IT IS HORRENDOUS

BECAUSE IT IS HORRENDOUS

Can you believe that it actually charted in 1966?

Miller's voice was compared to the sound of "roaches scurrying across a trash can lid."
Nevertheless, "Downtown" reached the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in April 1966, peaking at No. 82.

I'd rather listen to roaches scurrying.

Not all that different from the original, but Kelly Willis brings plenty of sass vocally on this cover of 'Harper Valley PTA'.

 

[Max Sterling]

I'm a big fan of Nataly Dawns understated voice

 

[AudioAce]

Father John Misty covering Happiness is a Warm Gun is dope

There is a nice popmatters article about how Evan Dandos songwriting for the Lemonheads was shaped by his cover versions

Always loved The Bangles take on this from Less Than Zero. I started rewatching Stranger Things with my eldest lad tonight and this featured on the credits of episode 2. Yes Netflix, I want to watch the whole credits. Can’t wait til he’s old enough to watch Less Than Zero together too.

The Bangles version is way better than the original IMO.

It certainly gives me all the right feels when that electric guitar kicks in. And you get Jami Gertz so move the fuck over S&G!

 

[The-NazZ]

Does Amazing Grace qualify as a cover ?

 

[Dead C]

Since Mikey Dees just passed away this week
