Music Monday - Covers Edition

I'm back with more covers.  I'm actually sticking with live covers this week, so some of the videos aren't as interesting, but I think you'll dig this.

5 - Fun. - "We Owned the Night"
It's interesting.  I like to hear more stripped down performances like this by fun.



4 - Walk Off the Earth - "Somebody That I Used to Know"
I really like this cover.  One of my favorites lately.




3 - Linkin Park - Rolling in the Deep
I've always enjoyed Chester's vocals.  Isn't that his name?




2 - Kelly Clarkson - "Gravity"
Beautiful song by Sara Bareilles.  Maybe even more beautiful by KC.





1 - Foster the People - "Say It Ain't So"





Bonus:  Weezer - "Pumped up Kicks"

love the mutual respect.  also, rivers is wearing underwear outside his pants, and that reminds me of quailman.





What a fun time being cover girl this week, cheers!

Guess who's back? (back again)

Sorry I was away for a week there. Monday was a holiday, then I was sick, so blogging fell away for a moment. Never fear though! I have returned! (And on music monday no less)

This week's music monday post is dedicated to covers because, well, who doesn't love a good cover, and also because there was a time (many moons ago) when covers were kind of my thing. and i had a show on mercer radio. and i was the cover girl. jealous?

Anyway, let's get to the good stuff!

5 - Hanson covering Weezer's Troublemaker
Rivers Cuomo himself tweeted a shoutout to the lovely Hanson boys about this one the other day.


4 - Hugo covering Jay-Z's 99 problems
I just love this song, so any version is good in my book.


3 - Adele covering The Cure's Lovesong
So, I've probably had enough adele on here for awhile, but here's a nice one to go out on. Plus, it's live because she's that good.


2 - Mr. Little Jeans covering Arcade Fire's The Suburbs
I've only heard this one a couple of times on Sirius XMU, but I like its groove.


1 - The Wallflowers cover David Bowie's Heroes
Stop acting like you don't dig this.



Bonus (because I took a week off)
