⇒ covers!

cover versions usually bring something interesting to the music world when done right, mainly because two differing artists' styles can really be compared. The rest of the time it's just a mistake that will hopefully be forgotten with time.

secondhand songs | cover versionen | originals project | ten great cover versions | poparchives | cover songs list | copy, right? | punk covers | salsa covers | songfacts | 10 covers blog | top 50 covers according to the Telegraph |

my fave covers (keep in mind I also enjoy the originals, it just that these new interpretations come from left field or have a special quality):
'Yellow' by Petra Haden & Bill Frisell (orig. Coldplay)
'Don't dream it's over' by Sixpence none the richer (orig. Crowded House)
'Sweet Dreams' by Marilyn Manson (orig. Eurythmics)
'Bizarre Love triangle' by Frente! (orig. New Order)
'Don't dream it's over' by Sarah Blasko (orig. Crowded House)
'Dead souls' by Nine Inch Nails (orig. Joy Division)
'Quando quando quando' by Michael Buble & Nelly Furtado (orig. Frank Sinatra)
'Champagne Supernova' by matt pond PA (orig. Oasis)
'Time after time' by INOJ (orig. Cyndi Lauper)

that's all i can think of now...

⇒ stay calm!

handheld gaming evolution | photoset of kid playing gameboy around the world | another ambient clock | Microwave weapon. Set phasers from stun, to kill | iPod's 5th anniversary | dark lords of the sith | worst games ever. Apparently | projected console sales. Personally, I think it's bullshit. I see the PS3 achieving great success in a few years when the price drops several hundred dollas. And total console sell-through of ~60 million by 2010? Please, the industry is growing, not shrinky-dinking! Totals will exceed 100 million in 2010. But I guess time's gonna tell on this | Zelda retrospective
