So, I appreciate Ben Folds more than most artist out there and respect him even more than that. I love his quirky qualities to his music. If you can get past the hook and who wrote this actual song, the talent these musicians present is actually quite impressive.

Enjoy!:)

THE CURE // COVERED

Here is the previously mentioned covers compilation featuring the music of The Cure. Lots of lesser known artists mixed in this time around because quite frankly, they were the best. Also, I wasn’t about to include 40 different versions of “Lovesong”, so the only duplicate tracks included are two very different takes on “Boys Don’t Cry”. Are there some covers that I missed - sure. Most of those were instances of choosing who I felt covered a particular track the best.

So without further ado, here are classic songs by The Cure as re-interpreted by artists over the years.

Playlist (click the band name for more info on the band):

The Submarines - Boys Don’t Cry

Alkaline Trio - Exploding Boy

Britt Daniel (Spoon) - 10:15 Saturday Night (live)

The Casket Lottery - Six Different Ways

The Smashing Pumpkins - A Night Like This (James Iha version)

Please support the artists that you find and enjoy. Buy their music, merchandise and tickets to see their shows. Supporting them is the only purpose in doing this blog. Contrary to the opinions of some, music blogs are a great way to discover new music, but there will only be so much new music to go around if these artists can’t afford to support themselves through their art and commerce. Only use these mixtapes as a guide to find something to throw your (financial and emotional) support behind.

Chet Faker - No Diggity

You see the title of the song and you’re all, “Pfffft! Yeah right. As if this can be as awesome as the real thing.” Then you listen to it and you’re all, “Daaaaaaaaaaamn, that’s smooth.”

Love. It.

Found this band tonight, as a friend has bought me a ticket to see them in two weeks. Yes, this is a cover of Jackson 5! They are the singer from Ra Ra Riot and the keyboardist of Vampire Weekend. They’re pretty fun, and good listening!
