Some Covers For Friday Part VI

Well, it feels like ages since I've done a 'proper' covers only post. Let's get going...

Sons & Daughters -'Killer (Adamski/Seal cover).' mp3

Pet Shop Boys -'Always On My Mind (Elvis Presley cover).' mp3

Yo La Tengo -'Dreams (Fleetwood mac cover).' mp3

Tralala -'Never Understand (Jesus and Mary Chain cover).' mp3

Slowdive -Some Velvet Morning (Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra cover).' mp3

The Shins -'We Will Become Silhouettes (Postal Service cover).' mp3

BTW, two bits of info that may be of interest to you:

1) This afternoon I did a 'phone interview with James Allan of Glasvegas fame (see below) and will write that up a.s.a.p.

2) This afternoon I received an email from Colin at And Before The First Kiss, asking if I would like to be involved with another mp3 blog he is assembling called Fun and Heartbreak. Well, obviously, yes! I haven;t yet posted over there, but I will.

Watch this space...

Songs For Christmas XII

Well, it's now the twelfth, so I'm already halfway through my Christmas posts. Here are three more to share with you.

All About Eve -'Last Christmas.' mp3

XTC -'Thanks for Christmas.' mp3

Yo La Tengo -'It's Christmas Time.' mp3

Hope you are still enjoying these, people are still downloading them, so I guess somebody is!

Just in case you're interested...

Over at Berkeley Place, there are three excellent posts devoted to covers of songs that Yo La Tengo have done, including songs by Prince, Blondie and the Human League.

And it's a pretty damn good blog anyway, so you should go visit.

Just in case you've never heard Yo La Tengo, this is a good place, their own website to get a wee sample.
