Newish covers I adore

Chromatics

Dagger Moon - excellent and different Dead Moon cover

I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen Cover

Into the Black - not as good as above but I personally don't like the original that much



HTRK - Sweetheart - lovely Suicide cover

Hanna Peel - Electricity - OMD cover

Robert Smith - Small Hours - best thing I have heard him do in aeons

]Best Coast - The way Boys are lesley gore cover

Dirtbombs - Cosmic Cars- Cybotron Cover think their cover of Shari Vari isn't that good though

Gemma Ray - Ghost on The Highway Gun Club cover

Alpines and Maya Jane Coles - Why? carly Simon cover. Kuedo also nicked the melody from why for Scissors

Bat For Lashes - Strangelove Depeche Mode cover I also really like herA Forest cover

The Gutter Twins - Deep hit of Morning Sun - Primal scream cover. Sounds like the Cult

[whisperit]

Mr. Little Jeans - The Suburbs - great Arcad Fire cover

Blondie - Sunday Smile - just because I never expected them to cover Beirut

[shadowplay]

a very old favourite is;

The Pointer Sisters - Yes We Can (lee Dorsey cover)

Mighty, bigbottomed, clodhopping and yet stupefunky retread, that gets yer booty shakin. I super admire how this just rolls along in its missile locked mega groove.

Was in my opinion murdered as a sample on Unknown Mortal orchestras Ffunny Ffreinds. Like what's with the horrible digital crunchiness?
