Some covers for Sunday night
Yup, a quick fun post of cover versions…
First up, posted these before but two great and very different versions of one of the best songs of the decade:
Manic Street Preachers -’Umbrella.’ mp3
Meanwhile…I posted Voxtrot’s cover version of ‘Love Vigilantes’ by New Order a couple of weeks ago; here are two other takes:
Hungry Lucy -’Love Vigilantes (New Order cover).’ mp3
Laura Cantrell -’Love Vigilantes (New Order cover).’ mp3
And almost New Order…three takes on foreerunner Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ by two different acts…
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra -’Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover).’ mp3
Swans -’Love Will Tear Us Apart (Jarboe vocal).’ mp3
Swans -’Love Will Tear Us Apart (Gira vocal).’ mp3
Finally, let’s finish off with some Kate Bush covers…
Placebo -’Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush cover).’ mp3
Swimmer One -’Cloudbusting (Kate Bush cover).’ mp3
The Futureheads -’The Hounds Of Love (Kate Bush cover).’ mp3
China Drum -’Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover).’ mp3
One of my favourite cover versions at the moment is X-Lion Tamer’s take on ‘Tugboat’ by Galaxie 500, available from all good download stores now…
link to Hungry Lucy doesn’t seem to work
Now fixed! Thanks
I think my favourites were the Kate covers, though the Swans (Gira vocal) cover of “Love will tear us apart” was great too.
Just re-enjoying Neon Hearts the noo
Glad you’re enjoying neon Hearts, still brings a smile to my face, too…
