Townes Van Zandt - No Deal //
Fuck anyone who doesn’t like country music. Townes will kick your ass with awesome. I am known to cover this one.
Mudhoney - Let it Slide
Caravan Palace - Suzy //
Tonight I discovered a kind of music I really, really like. So that rules.
Caravan Palace - Jolie Coquine //
I hope you like stop motion and awesome fucking music. Because this video has both.
Parov Stelar - Love //
Thanks to Victor for showing me this guy. So good.
Einstürzende Neubauten - Sabrina //
A classic. I dig later Einstürzende Neubauten. Fuck the naysayers.
Killing Joke - Eighties //
A good’un.
Weather Girls - It’s Raining Men //
This song was written by Paul Schaffer, of The Late Show With David Letterman fame. It’s his only pop songwriting credit. Somehow knowing that makes it so much better.
Otis Redding - Satisfaction //
Pretty much one of the only Rolling Stones songs I’ve ever really dug any cover of (the other being Townes Van Zandt’s version of “Dead Flowers”). This is the second cover of this song I’ve heard worth shit (Devo’s was pretty fucking awesome too, of course). I might even like it more than the original. If only because I’ve heard the original enough times to be sick of it.
Chromatics - Into the Black //
Chromatics covering Neil Young. Okay, yeah, I guess I can get behind this.
