it's been a long day, but a really great day. i couldn't sleep last night so i just went for a drive. midnight drives are one of my favorite things in life. it gives me a chance to really listen to the music without any distraction in the world. i ended up in rome, ga this afternoon. i came across some killer old vinyl in an antique store on broad street and found an amazing lane frost shirt at the salvation army. if you don't know who that is you need to do some research. it was great to just be alone and enjoy the day.
while driving i started listening to some of my favorite covers. i felt inclined to share a few of them that made the cut. enjoy.
damien rice - "when doves cry" (prince cover)
the white stripes - "jolene" (dolly parton cover)
cold war kids - "fast as you can" (fionna apple cover)
elliott smith - "jealous guy" (john lennon cover)
my morning jacket w/eddie vedder - "it makes no difference" (the band cover)
bright eyes - "mushaboom" (feist cover)
greg laswell - "girls just wanna have fun" (cyndi lauper cover)

Oooh! I have that MMJ/PJ cover in my collection. Awesome. I should do one of these posts...
Oh christ, what did they do to that fiona apple song? That's rough.
Elliott Smith has some great covers, like The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" and Big Star's "Thirteen," which is one of my favorite songs ever.
I also enjoy Puff Daddy's interpretation of "Kashmir" from the Godzilla Soundtrack. Just kidding. Just kidding.
@kyle... i kind of like it. i think his voice sounds a lot like rocco deluca in it. but yes, fionna's version is still amazing.
I KNEW Dreaden would be commenting publicly on the Fiona thing. Do you know he names his technology pieces after her? Well, he does. And Quentin.
I absolutely adore that Greg Laswell cover.
And I second dl's comment about Elliott's cover of Thirteen... wonderful wonderful wonderful.
