Sunday Morning Covers

Gavin Degraw - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) [mp3]
I tried to get tickets to see Leonard Cohen as soon as I saw my ticketmaster email. it was maybe 5 hours after the tix had gone on sale (Friday). they were all bloody expensive. they were all bloody sold out.

Beirut - Shiki Shiki Baba (Kocani Orchestra Cover) [mp3]
I wonder what Zach Condon's childhood was like that compels him to be so worldly. he was probably either raised by an anthropologist or a racist.

Rogue Wave - Maps (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover) [mp3]
this one is superior to the very popular Arcade Fire version.

Built to Spill - Imagine (John Lennon cover) [mp3]

they treated the song with respect and did the deed properly. Built to Spill do the best covers, d'accord?

Built to Spill - Someday (The Strokes cover) [mp3]

this warms my soul.

Devendra Banhart - Fistful of Love (Antony and the Johnsons cover) [mp3]
you expect one thing when you read the title, and get something completely different.

of Montreal - Rocks off (Rolling Stones cover) [mp3]
yet another of Montreal cover from the vault. I have an endless supply of these, really, and they are all top notch.

Franz Ferdinand - What You Waiting For (Gwen Stefani cover) [mp3]
oh what fun this song is.

Audrye Sessions - Waltz #2 (Elliott Smith cover) [mp3]
never ceases to amaze me.

BONUS:

The Beatles - Baby It's You [mp3]

originally written by Burt Bacharach (music); Luther Dixon and Mack David (lyrics)

BONUS x2:
The Fray - Heartless (Kanye West cover) [mp3]
please don't let your preconcieved notions of either artist sway you from downloading this song. it is incredible. I haven't met anyone who has listened to this song and not liked it. it's really really really good so I just HAD to repost it.
