New Vampire Weekend – Ça Plane Pour Moi (Plastic Bertrand Cover)

New Vampire Weekend   Ça Plane Pour Moi (Plastic Bertrand Cover) covers

Today’s finds continue to show our favorite bands covering our favorite oldies!

Earlier: The Killers covered Cindy Lauper!

Last time we heard Vampire Weekend covering a song overseas, they tackled Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere” — earlier this week in Paris, our Ivy League punks took a stab at “Ça Plane Pour Moi,” made famous by the Belgian new wave rock god Plastic Bertrand. 

As I’m preparing my “Best of 2008” year-end lists, Vampire Weekend are powerful contenders for my Best Albums, Songs, and Covers of 2008 lists. These guys don’t cease to amaze me — and I’ve seen them live 3 times in 2008! Not many acts deserve the amount of hype they get. I say Vampire Weekend deserves even more. 

Download Vampire Weekend’s interpretation of “Ça Plane Pour Moi” along with a bonus, below!

Grizzly Bear Front Man Crushing On JoJo

Grizzly Bear Front Man Crushing On JoJo mp3

Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear gave bandmate, Edward Droste an interesting birthday present this year. Apparently, Droste has been requesting for a JoJo cover from Rossen for quite some time. It’s really nice of Edward to share his present with us, isn’t it?

I know JoJo doesn’t really exude greatness or anything close to it, but when Dan cracks at it, it comes near-fantastic.

Rantesquely-Good Friday!

This weekend will be a blast! I have some wicked remixes to dish out tomorrow, I also have the Detour Music Fest to go to, but lets kick start this weekend in style. First off, we have Britney Spears’ OMG ROFLMAO moment of the month: THE “GIMME MORE” VIDEO LEAKED!

YouTube Preview Image

This obviously is a big deal because, well, Britney is the most discussed woman in the world — and after last month, she has a lot to prove. It’s quite a shame the video isn’t too good. That being said, I think its amazing. It’s so bad its actually good, and the best we can expect from her. It’s great to see that those housewife pole dancing classes paid off! Anyway, this is Pretty Much Amazing’s Ranterview!

Luis: the horror!

well kinda.

Emily: i know

she is a true

trash bag ho

well at least she produces a trash bag ho video

keeping it consistent!

Luis: its so bad! but well i kinda like it. but im weird like that

hey — you never know, sliding up and down a pole might be really hard…

Emily: HAHA

yeah

ok i’ll give her a little credit there

a smidgen of cred

i hope u are not speaking from experience luis!

Luis: the lighting (or technocolor?) is… interesting, too

Emily: there is only so much makeup can cover

Emily: sometimes it’s good to just keep the lights off

hahaha

this is me being sympathetic of britney, readers

by calling her a trash bag ho

Luis: yes, especially when she feels like taking off her jacket? If you wanna call it that

The rest just sounds like my copy of Crackwhores Gone Wild, so I’ll spare you the drama. So basically what we learned her is that being a trash bag ho and sliding up and down a pole is hard and next time you see one, please give her/him/it some credit.

Oh and, Britney’s new album to be called Blackout (?) on Amazon?!?!?!?!

Moving on, here are some very good and totally horrible covers that have made their way into my inbox (if you have any, please email me).

mp3: KT Tunstall – I Want You Back (Jackson 5 Cover) *DOWNLOAD OR DIE!*

mp3: Elbow – One Thing (Amerie Cover) *DOWNLOAD OR DIE*

mp3: Radiohead – Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 Cover)

mp3: Roxette – Help (Beatles Cover)

mp3: Avril Lavigne – Chop Suey (System Of A Down Cover) *OMG THIS IS SO FUNNY!*

mp3: The Dresden Dolls – Material Girl (Madonna Cover)

Also, thanks to Panda Toes (another great read) I had the chance to listen to Kanye West’s “Stronger” before it was finalized. I am SO happy Yeezy thought twice before giving us this trash:

mp3: Kanye West – Stronger (Original Version)

Speaking of Kanye, here is his latest fashionista ranting:
