A Couple of Covers

Oh how I love when artists cover songs and put a new twist on them. After that Natasha Bedingfield post, I have to post these three covers I ran into a while ago.

Steady As She Goes (The Ranconteurs cover) - Corinne Bailey Rae



With Or Without You (U2 cover) - Keane



I Want You Back (Jackson 5 cover) - Discovery



I'm an Artist Pusher: Natasha Bedingfield

Natasha Bedingfield gained a lot of attention with her 2004 release, Unwritten. Since her original work is pretty well known, I thought I'd share a couple of the covers she has done that I like from her collection.

Somewhere Only We Know (Keane cover)


Ray Of Light (Madonna cover)


P.S.

I had to post my favorite video of hers:

These Words


I have watched this video so many times its sickening.



I'm an Artist Pusher: DJ Earworm

DJ Earworm came out with a new mash-up today!!!

Jessy Mash J'Adore - DJ Earworm featuring Jessy Matador


Here's a link to DJ Earworm's YouTube Channel. Everyone knows him from his United States of Pop mash-up (most notoriously 2009's Blame It On The Pop), but he also does smaller mash-ups, like one of my favorites:

Free At Night - DJ Earworm featuring Nelly Furtado


P.S.

United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom) - DJ Earworm


Sorry, I couldn't resist from adding this. It's the mash-up from last year's hit singles.

Brand New Key

Brand New Key - Melanie Safka


I first heard this song as a cover version on Katharine McPhee's. I liked the song, so I researched it and found Melanie Safka. I love this version waayy better.

Oh and it ranks at number 3 on this Top 5 Stalker Anthems list. Remember, I like creepy things. Don't hate.

I'm an Artist Pusher: Salsa Celtica

I first heard Salsa Celtica while watching Driving Lessons. When I heard it I thought "Wait, this sounds like the music in that dance scene of Titanic, but also like salsa... WHATTTTT?????"

El Agua De La Vida

TwentyTwoFourteen In The Morning

Two songs for today. I don't remember where I heard them first. This is a lazy post.

Twenty Two Fourteen - The Album Leaf



In The Morning - Junior Boys

Harrowdown a Wintry Hill

Harrowdown Hill - Thom Yorke


I saw this video last year I think, and I had to have the song.


Winter - The Dodos


I was walking down the hallway in my dorm hall one day, and heard this song echoing out of someone's room. I creepily put my ear against their door and waited until i could distunguish a line of lyrics then quickly ran back to my room to try to google the song before the melody left my head. I hope you like it too!!!
