Friday Cover Songs – Let’s Forget That Scene From Watchmen

“Hallelujah” is perhaps the most-covered song in the world, more than even “Womanizer.”  These are some of my favorites: Clare Bowditch – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Rufus Wainwright – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Imogen Heap – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Dresden Dolls – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) John Cale – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Regina [...]

Cover Songs Thursday

22 October 2009

I know it’s late, but here it is. Today, we’re going to look at covers by a single artist, as opposed to various covers on a single theme.  Damien Rice, as evidenced in his take on When Doves Cry from my covers mixtape, can do a good cover.  I won’t belabor the point with lots [...]

Monday Friday Cover Songs – The Apology

19 October 2009

So…. This week’s edition of FCS kind of doesn’t exist.  Between work and various other developments, I quite frankly didn’t have the time.  I know that many of you (read: actually none of you) rely on Friday Cover Songs to make it through the day, kick off the weekend, save the planet from destruction, comment [...]

Friday Cover Songs – On A Saturday

10 October 2009

You know, I started doing FCS so that I’d always have to post at least once a week on a set schedule.  I think I do okay, but this is the second week I’m late.  Out of 5 months worth of posts.  Shit – five months already?  This is going to be post 113, by [...]

Friday Cover Songs – We’ve Got The Beat(les)

2 October 2009

Beatles covers – no type of cover divides opinion so hotly as an interpretation of a song that is basically perfect, and Beatles songs fall into that category more often than not.  That’s why I don’t have a lot of Beatles covers.  Though I think “Long and Winding Road” could stand reinterpretation, as age hasn’t [...]

Friday Cover Songs – Every Elvis Has His Army

18 September 2009

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody reading this that I am an Elvis Costello fanboy.  Heck, I even had an EC themed blog once upon a time (that Matt and I have talked about reviving).  He is what I believe the kids call ‘my jam.’ Since it seems to be something I do, [...]

Friday Cover Songs – Love and Pixies

4 September 2009

I’m a big Pixies fan.  Whenever I’m at a Rock Band party, I always end up demanding to sing a set of songs from Doolittle, which frustrates and perplexes my friends who don’t know the songs very well.  Of course, being me, I resort to saying, “Guys, it’s the Pixies,” and then the twentysomethings remind [...]
