Often there will be a hit song that turns into everyone's favorite thing to cover for a while. This year, that song was Rhianna's "Umbrella". I find it endlessly amusing, and I just discovered these a few weeks ago, so up they go! I don't actually have that much to say about any of them - the music says it all, in this case.

There are a few songs that I collect covers of. As in, no matter who covered it, if I see the link, I will download. Either because I love the song to death, or because I love what people do with the covers, or, as is often the case, both. Here's two songs that are high up on that list.

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is a song that everyone covers ( Read more... )

I don't have any commentary for these tracks - they are (for the most part) lounge lizard-esque covers of rock songs. You might love em, you might be scandalized, they might grow on you (that's what happened for me), but there really isn't much more that I feel I need to say with these. Enjoy.

Richard Cheese - Fell In Love With A Girl

I love covers. I absolutely adore them. From horrible live covers to ridiculously inventive studio covers - it's all good. Granted, I do tire of versions that sound exactly like the original.

Apparently I'd uploaded these songs a while ago, before things started fucking up. I'd completely forgotten. Huh.

And we reach the end, however many months later. I've enjoyed this, I hope you have as well.
Another 4-song post. My Z catagory is sadly lacking. Help a girl out?

I'm prefacing this post with some thoughts I've had about this band, as well as others.

( One might call this a rant. )

I've recced at least half of these before, so apologies to those of you who already have a lot of these. But they deserve multiple mentions. Also, as I said in a previous post (I think), my flist is different from what it was when I initially recced some of these.

Bob & Tom - Yeah ToastThis song is EPIC in its hilarity. That is all ( Read more... )

Steriogram - Walkie-Talkie Man
The song from that iPod ad. If ever there was a song that made me want to dance...

The Moffatts - Walking Behind
Gentle 90s pop. And you know how I love it when it sounds like the singer is pushing his was through all the words? This song has that. But yeah, such a chill, feel-good song.
