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.
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.
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.
I have listened to this song so many times that I have almost forgotten that its a cover. Its haunting and moving, and so different from the original song (by Arcade Fire). Peter Gabriel’s album “Scratch my back”, covering some of his favourite songs with a full orchestra, is a can’t miss, and one you should check out if you haven’t already.
About ten years ago, I had the pleasure of working on this short film from Film Friday, called Dragonquest. I have been so in love with this little film since then, and even after all this time, I am always happy to encounter Melissa, Adam, Joseph, Cal and Matt. It hasn’t been online for me to share since then, so I’m really happy to be able to finally share this with you now.
