Paper Crows cover one of my absolute favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs of all time and it’s pretty damn good.

“Disarm” receives a heart-stopping makeover by the Paper Crows, dark tones with a whimsical coating, it’s superb! They’ve created something they can call their own, which is the true testament of a really great cover right? I think so.

Listen to their version of “Disarm” below. What do you think?

This arrived in my inbox an hour ago, I’m now completely obsessed.

The Young Professionals have covered Lana Del Rey and it’s a fucking masterpiece in it’s own right. It’s as if The Killers performed this song in 2005, “Video Games” with a Hot Fuss twist, BRILLIANT! I can rave about it all day so I’ll just stop and let you listen to it already.

Sky Ferreira Does Lana Del Rey!

Um, the bitch can sing…

Indie-POP royalty Sky Ferreira has covered the much buzzed about Lana Del Rey. Ferreira takes on the beautiful ballad “Blue Jeans” and truly does the song justice. A striking recording that not only serves as a great cover but allows for Sky to call the track completely her own.

I’m 100% absolutely in love with her version of the song, listen below!

Must Listen: Sunday Girl Does The Pixies!

Sunday Girl is blazing the blogosphere on fire at the moment and with perfectly good reason. I fell in love with The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” original years ago where it quickly rose to the top of my all time favorite songs EVER. So it’s always a challenge to find a decent cover of the track, let alone one as hauntingly gorgeous as this.

Listen/watch Sunday Girl perform one of the greatest covers of The Pixies classic “Where Is My Mind” below. Enjoy!

Attention Ke$ha haters, sip on this… Ke$ha Does Bob Dylan!

David — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:22:06 +0000

Dear anyone who has ever frowned upon Ke$ha and her “mainstream music”, do yourself a favor and give this post 5 minutes of your time. The party hard POP star has recorded her take of the Bob Dylan classic “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” for a tribute project and I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor. Oh God, her delivery is giving me serious chills.

Drink all the hater-ade you’d like but Ke$ha is a fucking force people. I’ve also included the original by Dylan via YouTube so you could see just how much new life Ke$ha has given the track.

Watch a behind the scenes clip with Ke$ha and read more about the Bob Dylan tribute via Rolling Stone HERE.
