Unless you can pull an awesome cover off!
Not even the calendar can stop me from posting some covers! Tuesday was really busy for me + no planning = Cover Tuesday on Wednesday.
But I’m sure you don’t mind.
Coldplay – When You Were Young (The Killers cover): The mp3 does have a really long live introduction (sort of), but the cover is worth it. I do know the quality will bug some people, but this was the best I could get my hands on. If you’ve got better, please share.
Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (The Beatles cover): “Across the Universe” is arguably the best Beatles’ song ever. Hell… it’s arguably best song ever written. This female vocalist spin on it is a very nice touch. Though, I’m still a fan of Jim Sturgess‘ theatrical version.Â
Franz Ferdinand – Mis-Shapes (Pulp cover): Franz Ferdinand have a knack to cover songs how the Arctic Monkeys cover songs: banging on a guitar whilst hollering post-punkesque vocals.
Kasabian – Out of Space (The Prodigy cover): It’s been a long while since I’ve even thought about Kasabian. File this cover under the “Better Than The Original” category.Â
John Mayer – Kid A (Radiohead cover): I won’t front. I do enjoy myself some John Mayer tunes. He has a great voice and, depending on my mood, his tunes can be real tear-jerkers. But it’s hard not to do that Juno “WHOA! DREAM BIG” thing when you listen to this cover. Maybe tackling “Kid A” wasn’t a good idea. Stick to the easy stuff — “Creep,” anyone?Â

“Creep”? thank God he didn’t, I looove this cover and I don’t like John Mayer AT ALL, it’s fantastically simple and mellow…

This Is Nothing To Do With Cover ‘Tuesday’
But.
I LOVE THIS FRICKING BLOG

I was super interested when I got linked to this Coldplay cover. It was, in my opinion, the worst out of this bunch. Fortunately, the other ones were surprisingly great! Thanks, for the post.
