Cover story

Three covers for today, people i like covering other people i like. what could be better?

First, listen to these two clips from Peter Gabriel, talking about his album "Scratch my back"

Its a brilliant idea (trading songs with other artists... you cover me, and i'll cover you)... and he executes it beautifully.... and the first cover i pull here (after the interviews) should come as no surprise.

If you don't have 20 minutes, skip to the songs posted...





I don't know about you... but I will be buying this album. (see previous posts about my love for peter gabriel)



Peter Gabriel - Flume (original by Bon Iver) - you can download this track for free over at Peter Gabriel's site Sorry for the -kind of lame- video, there isn't exactly a music video for this yet...



The next cover is an interesting one, but once you hear it, you kind of get why they did it.

Phoenix - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands (original by Bob Dylan) - Thomas Mars has a little dylan to his voice.. i REALLY dig how he made it his own, but you can absolutely tell its a dylan song. Awesome.




I will throw this last one in just for shits... because sometimes the covers are better than the original, and sometimes they aren't (pretty profound statement, huh) what you think of this one? Me? I dig.

The Kooks - Crazy (original Gnarls Barkley)




It's a good day for music. It always is.
