Stereogum hearts cover songs. We found many on the blogosphere this month and some are keepers.
The Drive-By Truckers - "Like A Rolling Stone" (MP3)
From Uncut's new "Highway 61 Revisited Revisited" comp. Mojo also comes with a Dylan covers album this month, but I didn't buy that.
The Fiery Furnaces - "Norwegian Wood"
Download @ Fluxblog. Fiery fan Matthew admits "not their best work."
Bonnie Prince Billy - "Puff The Magic Dragon"
Download @ 15 Minutes To Listen. A preview of Songs For The Young At Heart, an album for indie yuppies who won't buy their children Kidz Bop. Young At Heart also features members of Lambchop, The Go Betweens, Catatonia and Belle Ampersand Sebastian!
Willie Nelson - "The Harder They Come"
Download @ Thrasher's Blog. Contrary to many of the gossip blogs, Willie Nelson is NOT having sex with Bam Margera.
Mellow - "Kites Are Fun" (MP3)
Remix of the Free Design, a band whose commercial failure was "one of the most baffling mysteries in the annals of pop music" (AMG). Much-respected 12" series now on CD.
Twin Freaks - "Long Haired Lady (Reprise)" (MP3)
From an entire Freelance Hellraiser mix of Macca reinterpretations. Half of them suck. "Maybe I'm Amazed," for example, is just like, sped up.
Holly Golightly - "Tell Me Now So I Know"
Download @ Aziz Is Bored. Kinks cover from the soundtrack to the new Bill Motherfucking Murray movie.
Nickel Creek - "Tomorrow Is A Long Time (MP3)
More Dylan, this time from cheery bluegrass Pavement fans.
Madness - "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (MP3)
Supremely unnecessary.
Tinchy Stryder & Wiley - "Uptown Girl"
Download @ ultrashare via Prancehall via catchdubs, who I know will one day deliver me a real focused mindblowing Billy Joel mashup.
Thanks blogs. And add to the list in the comments.
