coming in a little late #6

so this week i decided to go all covers for the playlist cause covers are awesome and it's been really cold outside! as a musician, i really appreciate being able to take what someone else has done & give it a little tweek. creativity inspires MORE creativity & i think that's really what jess & i hope for this blog: that as y'all come see what we're up to, it'd inspire you to start doing something new too :)
let's do this.


1. Walk This Way by Run-D.M.C. - give it up y'all! this was a break-through cover that really changed music. i wonder what it was like to come up with the idea for this song and then get it done & watch people respond to it.


2. Killing Me Softly by Fugees - this is one i grew up on. lauryn hill & the fugees are probably one of the reasons i started listening to rap & hip hop.


3. In The Devil's Territory by Derek Webb - just recently stumbled upon this tune. i'm really impressed that a christian artist had the balls to touch something sufjan created, but this song wails! i love it!


4. No One's Gonna Love You by Cee Lo Green


5. Bad Romance by Lissie - didn't really like this song until i heard this version. now i can't help but like both. these two are freak bitches baby.


6. The Kids by B.o.B feat. Janelle Monae - this one really surprised me too. don't hate me, but i'm pretty sure i like this one more than the original by vampire weekend. *ducking to avoid stones/tomatoes*


7. I Want You Back by Discovery - this whole album is incredible. just sayin'.


8. Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by First Aid Kit - these chicks did a video for this song in the woods. amazing!


9. Such Great Heights by Ben Gibbard - this is the ultimate cover song. this song was originally done by ben gibbard with postal service, then was covered by iron & wine. here it is... ben gibbard covering a cover of his own song! cool!


10. I Can't Make You Love Me/Nick Of Time by Bon Iver - COME ON!


also... a quick honorable mention. my bro just found this little goodie. check it out!


that's all for now. cover up... it's cold out there!
