Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh….. This is like a breath of fresh air. So refreshing. Of course this is a Sam Cooke cover and it’s lovely. Ben Sollee’s voice is like butter surrounded by lush instrumental musings. Definitely glad I stumbled upon this one.
Ben Sollee - A Change Is Gonna Come (mp3)
Apparently I’ve gone covers happy. I’m not sure if it’s a bad sign that everyone is just playing everyone else’s songs now (if CD sales haven’t hit rock bottom yet, this may be a sign that it’s just around the corner), but I’m loving these nonetheless. I think when you love a song, it’s always […]
Remember that covers CD I was scouring Amoeba for? Well the San Fran Amoeba had 3 in stock when I was there for Thanksgiving (boo Hollywood). Needless to say, I dropped the $30 and have been enjoying it ever since. This has to be one of my favorites because it’s hilarious. Who would ever put […]

Eh, it is what it is. Thought I’d post it for y’all to hear:
Norah Jones - Ocean of Noise (Arcade Fire cover) (mp3)
And just because I have this in my iTunes I thought I’d slap it on this post as well. Two of my favorite bands in one!:
Foo Fighters - Keep The Car Running (Arcade […]
I want to go to a fest in the UK so frickin’ bad. People really get into their music there. At least it looks like it from the various videos I’ve watched.
Here’s Mika and Beth Ditto of The Gossip performing a fabulous cover at the T in the Park festival in Scotland. She is pretty […]
This band is a liiiiil screamo. And they’re covering Frou Frou. Quite interesting, yes? Surprisingly, I like it. Probably b/c this song is so amazing. And I like the completely polar opposite take on it. We’re gonna try something… Download this song thanks to Stereogum by right clicking the link below and choosing save target […]
