Awesome Covers: Virtute the Cat Explains her Departure
Steven Page and the Art of Time Ensemble cover The Weakerthans’ Virtute the Cat Explains her Departure, a sequel song to A Plea From a Cat Named Virtute, and bring out its heart breaking ending.
Awesome Covers: Jump
Can we talk about Paul Anka covering Van Halen’s Jump as a swing version of the song for a second? Yeah, that’s a thing that happened. And its worth listening to.
Awesome Covers: Crash Into Me
The Dave Matthews Band is not a band that is often covered (to my knowledge). A lot of their songs are too intricate or too much like a jam for a cover band. But Scary Pockets has taken the challenge and created something really fun and interesting with their cover of Crash into Me with Julia Nunes on vocals.
Awesome Covers: I Believe in a Thing Called Love
I haven’t done one of these in a while. This bluegrassy cover of I believe in a thing called love is really quite lovely.
Awesome Covers: Party in the USA
Tokyo Police Club set themselves a challenge: record 10 covers in 10 days. I love their cover of the Miley Cyrus “classic” Party in the USA. It is 100% Tokyo Police Club, and 100% awesome.
