Atlas Sound – Walk A Thin Line (Fleetwood Mac Cover)

Atlas Sound Walk A Thin Line (Fleetwood Mac Cover) covers
I’m not an entirely huge Fleetwood Mac fan, but I am a fan of the covers some of my favorite bands put out. Remember Vampire Weekend’s cover of “Everywhere”?

Now Atlas Sound has posted a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Walk A Thin Line” on his Deerhunter blog. Originally off Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk LP, “Walk A Thin Line” has been broken down to a haunting acoustic rendition. It always gets me how Atlas Sound can do so much with so little.

The cover is moved along by steady, monotonous guitar strumming but Atlas Sound’s spot-on harmonies give the track an emotional punch that, given time, can come to knock you out. Listen to it here: Continue reading →

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!

Cover Tuesday 15: is Back! Best Covers of Summer 2008

Cover Tuesday 15: is Back! Best Covers of Summer 2008 covers
Unless you can pull an awesome cover off!

I’ve read the emails and the comments — and even some freaky death threats. So, by popular demand, Cover Tuesday is back. Hopefully this will give you something to look forward to on Tuesdays again.

This summer has really been a good one for covers. I figured I’d so a mini-recap of the great new covers we all added (if not, do so now!) to our collections over the summer months. I’m taking about our two favorite MGMT songs being covered by some unlikely acts. Coldplay trying out dance pop. Vampire Weekend covering the only Fleetwood Mac song I like. Rihanna’s ode to Madonna. Madonna’s ode to ABBA. And Kinks going “violet.” Continue reading →

RE: Vampire Weekend Cover Fleetwood Mac

Vampire Weekend
Hey Luis,

Vampire Weekend were just in Australia for the Splendour In The Grass festival (might I add, their performance was insane). Anyway they were on Triple J, which is a radio station here, performing a cover of ‘Everywhere’ by Fleetwood Mac. I ripped the stream and thought you might be interested.

Enjoy,

Andy

Dear Andy,

Thanks man! You’re the best. I’m going to make you blog famous!

One Love,

Luis
