[PLAYLIST] The Best COVER SONGS of 2012

Cover songs are still my favorite way for emerging bands to put their own sound on a hit song and get easy attention. However 2012 was for some reason a slow year for cover songs. Luckily a handful of bands did them well and left us with flipped and twisted takes on old classics and net hits alike. Here are my 10 favorites (#1 at the bottom). What did I miss?… continue reading

[STREAM / COVER] The Young Professionals – “Be With You Tonight” & “Video Games” (Lana Del Rey cover)

should find a faster train, a taxi in the rain, i should be laying now with you in a bed somehow

I don’t know how I missed this new mega dance jam by Tel Aviv favorites The Young Professionals but I’m making up for lost time with repeated listens now. This oversized and infectious love banger also come with a video made of fan photos inspired by the lyrics. And there is also their great Lana Del Rey cover that … continue reading

[COVER] Jhameel – “Thinking About You” (Frank Ocean cover)

we’ll go down this road ’til it turns from color to black and white

Jhameel has been on his cover game for a minute now but this one is out of the park. Do we credit his recent move from SF to LA? Yes we do. Yes. We. Do. Welcome, man.

[COVER/REMIX] Ellie Goulding – High For This (The Weeknd cover) + William Carney remix

i swear i’m right here, we’ll be good i promise, we’ll be so good

♫ Ellie Goulding – High For This (The Weeknd cover)

Ellie Goulding came on so strong with 2009′s “Starry Eyed” and then straight fell off the game with that snoozer LP Lights. Could this inspired Weeknd cover signify a rebirth? Well, we’ll see. People forget she cut her teeth on inspired covers (that Sam Sparro one is a classic!) although the minimal production is certainly working … continue reading

[COVER] Ben Howard + Jimmy Fallon, Carly Rae Jepsen and The Roots – “Call Me Maybe”

In case you missed the memo, Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” is officially taking over the world. This does mean some good news. Besides the steller Manu el Chino remix there is the version she did with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots which is all kinds of giddy fun. However, the hands down finest piece of music related to the phenomenon is the heart-stopping folk cover by the UK’s Ben Howard. He reinvents the song all over, breathing his own life into … continue reading

So grab that Calvin Harris cover while you are here but the real reason I’ve invited you today is because one of my favorite live DWNTWN jams “See My Eyes” finally has a proper release! The quite dark video is below where you can see sexy people doing silly things (like write letters with paper!). Enjoy all this goodness while you … continue reading

In other MCA tribute related news here are two Beastie jams reworked by people of varying fame.

♫ Beastie Boys – Intergalactic Heads (Its Overture Bootleg)

Who knew that “Intergalactic” would blend so brilliantly with A-Track’s remix of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “Heads Will Roll”?
