No reason for the picture above this post, other than that I stuck 'Friday' in Google Image and this was the picture I liked best off the first page.
Anyway, it's the end of another long week, but I'm still alive, and still trying to organise wedding stuff with the soon-to-be Mrs. 17 Seconds.
Here are some covers for Friday. the first one I heard live a few months ago, but was brought to my attention by Liz over at the The Roaring Machine yesterday.
Camera Obscura-'Super Trouper.' mp3
Astrid Swan -'When You Were Young.' mp3
Le Tigre-'I'm So Excited.' mp3
Arcade Fire-'Maps.' mp3
CSS-'One Way Or Another.' mp3
Snow Patrol-'Crazy In Love.' mp3
Death Cab For Cutie-'World Shut Your Mouth.' mp3
Editors-'French Disko.' mp3
As always, if you like what you hear, support the artists. These links will be removed after a week.
Have a good one,
Ed
Good selection, Ed.
ReplyDeleteThe CSS cover(s) is odd to say the least but quite enjoyable.
At first I thought that Death Cab's WSYM backing sounded so like Copey it wasn;t worth botering about yet the vocals lift it somewhere a bit different.
On the evidence of this version of Maps I might have to revisit my notion that the Manics are the worst band to cover a song!
Glad you enjoyed the selection.
ReplyDeleteHoping to get a USB turntable soon, so expect more covers on this blog in weeks to come!

Hi,
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my wee blog. I am impressed by the eclectic combo today. I especially love the Northwest connection with DCFC and Le Tigre. Thanks for the excellent music.

Ed,
ReplyDeleteHere's the therapy? invisible sun cover. It was a b-side for the 'be still' single... hard to believe it was 14 years ago.

Wow, I never realized there were so many funky covers out there. The Snow Patrol was amusing. I rather liked Maps too. Thanks for sharing!
