The photo above is one of the stock photos on my computer. It may be July now, but in Scotland it is still raining and still cold. Grrr. Or should that read Brrr?

Anyway. Here are some cover versions for Monday. These tracks were originally recorded for Radio 1, Some on a compilation called Evening Session Priority Tunes and the rest are from a compilation called Radio 1’s Live Lounge.

Oh, and in case anyone wants to pick on the spelling of the Nirvana cover, that’s what it says on the sleeve…

Manic Street Preachers-‘Penny Royalty.’ mp3

China Drum-‘Wuthering Heights.’ mp3

Ash-‘Does Your Mother Know.’ mp3

Arctic Monkeys-‘Love Machine.’ mp3

The Automatic-‘Gold Digger.’ mp3

Boy Kill Boy-‘Maneater.’ mp3

Franz Ferdinand-‘What You Waiting For?’ mp3

If you like what you hear, track down the compilations, be it at your local independent record store, or buy on-line or at Amazon

As always, these will be up here for a week. Get them while you can.
