NEOSTALGIA :: Yuna - Come As You Are (Nirvana Cover)

Yuna - Come As You Are (Nirvana Cover)

With possibly one of the best covers I've heard, I present Yuna performing Niravna's Come As You Are. She's an amazing artist. I can't wait to delve more into her discography.

JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW - Higher Love and Wicked Game

I love the 80s, and pretty much andything that ever makes me think of the 80s. Remarkably, James Vincent McMorrow's cover takes Steve Winwood's big huge band-tancular song and makes it shine even brighter with a gentle and synth-less call for connection.

oh and there's this...

HOPIUM :: Cut and Run For Your Life, Dreamers

Following the love trail from Dustin Tebbutt lead me to the dark and twisted otherside of love in Hopium. Y'know that feeling that everything is beautiful and smooth, but the sinking sensation that you're just really high on endorphins and other chemicals that just won't last... The Melbourne-based band/production trio is making me a little excited to return to the gretty grey of that city, but I know the citysads will be there to greet me.. From "Dreamers": You said this would be your year / But you fucked around, now December’s here...

KILLDOZER and YANIS MARSHALL :: Nasty Boys in all the ways

The dance gods smiled upon me once again and graced me this video a few days ago

Yanis Marshall is simply killing it in commercial/vogue choreography, with insane style and strut, riding high upon his 6" heels, homopride and exquisite technique.

And then...

Killdozer's cover of Janet Jackson's "Nasty Boys" is the perfectly suited reaction that evaded me, but thankfully a more complicatedly poetic internetter shared it.

Oh Lord almighty, what WOULD Yanis do with this track... and those boys...?!!!

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (TEEMID & Joie Tan Cover)

There was something so pleasant about that place ... ya know, that place where all the incredible covers come from. Today, we have TEEMID and Joie Tan covering one of the top tracks of the 2000's - Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. On this one, they strip back all the sanity and go straight for the gut. What's left is a haunting rendition that will make you lose your mind!

INCREDIBLE :: Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya Cover

Hey Ya

OK, I'm obsessed with this Hey Ya cover by Obadiah Parker. Of course, I love the original by Outkast (Andre 3000), which was voted best song of the millennium at Grantland.com ... but Obadiah's version is much better in my opinion. Obadiah a.k.a. Mat Weddle is a singer/songwriter from Scottsdale, Arizona.

Capital Cities - Staying Alive (cover)

Los Angeles based Capital Cities have recently done a cover of the famous Bee Gees' tune Staying Alive. This one might be better in my opinion than the original. The song sounds very fresh and yet true to the original.

BONUS: Capital Cities - I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo
