Simple and easy on the ears. Please excuse the brief strong language.

"All Men Are Pigs" Studio Killers

While I don't agree with this song's generalization, it is undeniably catchy.

"House" The Remainers

 














These guys have had limited exposure, but are more than worth a listen. This link goes to their bandcamp website. As usual, just press play.

"He Loves U Not" Dream

It's probably for the better that I forgot all about this song, but now that I've remembered I feel compelled to ruin your mental peace as well. :)

"Will You Be There" Michael Jackson

This song came on at the Phyrst when the sub-par band took a break. The crowd was at least 20 times more lively and excited to hear this jam than anything the live act played.

"When I Fall in Love" Julie London

 
















I heard this on NPR the other night and had an incredible urge to slow dance.

"Bold as Love" Jimi Hendrix

 
















Today is a reverse cover, celebrating the original recording of a song that is most commonly associated with John Mayer. Work it, Jimi.

"Wonderwall" Ryan Adams

 
















I love the artistic liberties Ryan took with the melody on this Oasis staple.

"The Guitar Man" CAKE

 














It's all too fitting that a band named CAKE would cover a band named Bread.

"I Found a Reason" Cat Power

Almost unrecognizably the Velvet Underground.

"Werewolves of London" Adam Sandler

 















Who knew a Warren Zevon cover of this caliber could come from the same guy who sings about Hanukkah and the Lunch Lady?

"Why Try To Change Me Now" Fiona Apple

I think Frank Sinatra and Cy Coleman would be proud.

"Kids" The Ooks of Hazzard

Hooray for another Cover Week! Let's get started with a folk cover of MGMT. The vocals aren't all stellar, but instrumentation is really quite cool.

Trippy and etherial.

The classic harmonica lick in this song popped into my head after breakfast. Great for a casual Saturday.

These boys rocked Clementine tonight. It helps when your bass players is Felix Pastorius.

This allegretto is perfectly haunting.

The music video may be bland and bizarre, but the song is killer.

I refuse to believe that this song is almost a decade old.
