Covers for Lovers

One of the many random ways that I love to pointlessly waste my time is to take a song I already like and scour the intertubes and listen to covers of it by random people. I just find it fascinating how someone else's voice and interpretation can completely change a song and in some rare cases become something pretty amazing. Here are a few of the random ones that I have run across.

MP3 of the day

Amazing song. I put it in the "makes me feel like I am floating in Bubbles" genre

Oh la la la Land

Today I found not only my my new favorite band but also the new love of my life... not bad for one day. Via the intertubes I stumbled upon the band Oh Land, from Denmark. The singer has a good voice and also happens to be gorgeous. She just got signed by Epic records and is recording her EP currently with Pharrel, which makes me even more excited.

Summer Mix 2010

Nothing says summer like a giant good and evil cat battling over a city....

Okay in celebration of my last few days of laziness before I start my internship on Monday and in response to a few requests for me to put up some more music, I present to you Costco Bob's Summer Mix 2010. I tried to go through all the recent songs I have downloaded and find only the upbeat "summer-esque" songs. The idea is songs you would smile to while driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in a 1960's era convertible (a feeling we are all super familiar with). This is considerably more indie than my previous much more electro/rap mix. I will try and throw some of my more mainstream pop/rap songs up in a little bit. But for now enjoy.....

Personal fav right now is Yeasayer - ONE
