5 covers domingueros

Recientemente un amigo me regalo un disco con selecciones del album “Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited” que sera sacado oficialmente a mediados del siguiente mes. Estan apuntados en el tributo varios artistas renombrados y por ahora les ofrezco la version que Cat Power y Karen Elson le hacen a la clasica “I love you (Je t’aime moi non plus)” del genio frances. La voz vaporosa de Chan Marshall le va muy bien a la musica somnolienta y sexy a la que nos tenia acostumbrados Monsieur Gainsbourg y me deja deseando escucharla versionar mas canciones francesas. Cruzo los dedos.
Tambien les ofrezco dos covers de Gnarls Barkley, predeciblemente de su sencillo “crazy” y uno de mis lados-b favoritos de Radiohead, versionado por Sebadohead para el album tributo de atease (Sacado como net release hace ya casi tres años en el infame fansite).
Por ultimo, les dejo un cover sorpresivamente bueno del clasico de The cure que fue comisionado para el soundtrack de la pelicula del mismo nombre.

Cat Power & Karen Elson - I love you (Serge Gainsbourg)
The Kooks - crazy (Gnarls Barkley)
Ray Lamontagne - crazy (Gnarls Barkley)
Sebadohead - fog (Radiohead)
Katie Melua - just like heaven (The Cure)

April Skies (last days)

Last list in April Skies series. I like having the last say in a series, even if it’s pointless. But this list is part of a larger fun group project on ‘Spring is here theme’. It’s an overview of recent releases plus an old favorite.

My Favorite in the list: a track from Sufjan Steven’s next album ‘Avalance‘ And Blonde Redhead old tunes ‘Slogan’. Also Glass, a new small band from Memphis. They do a trippy indie americana.

But there is more along with this post. DIY Rockstar puts out a whole slew of ‘I Can’t Wait! (Upcoming Releases.)‘ and Recent Hot Releases by Internet Labels at Bricolage Fantasy.

Enjoy the sneak peek and previews.

Islands - Swans (Life After Death)
Okkervil River - For Real
Blonde Redhead - Slogan (Serge Gainsbourg cover)
Sufjan Stevens - Dear Mr. Supercomputer
Glass - Tell Me It’s Snowing
