Cover Tuesday 17: Of Montreal & MGMT – Smeels Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana Cover)
Unless you can pull an awesome cover off!
Time for your weekly dose of covers. This week I have nice bunch of covers for you from Of Montreal and MGMT, Natasha Bedingfield, Mates of State, and the Cure.
Of Montreal & MGMT – Smeels Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana cover): This cover is only 4 days old, definitely the baby of this week’s batch. While on tour the unstoppable force that is Of Montreal and MGMT took a big risk and covered the most influential and beloved song of the 1990’s. When Kurt Cobain and co. first invisioned this song — I bet it sounded a lot like this in his head.
Natasha Bedingfield – Ray Of Light (Madonna cover): British songbird, Natasha Beddingfield recorded this cover for Radio 1’s 40th Anniversary compilation. I gotta say, she did a wonderful job singing this song. Ask any singer, or her Royal Mageness herself, “Ray of Light” is one tough song to sing. Thankfully, Natasha Bedingfield’s vocal range is incredible and suitable worth of “Ray of Light.” Very impressed.
Of Montreal – Crazy (Gnrals Barkley cover): Here’s another Of Montreal cover. They are quickly becoming my favorite cover band. This Gnarls Barkley cover is exquisite.Â
Mates Of State – California (Phantom Planet cover): This is such a great cover to an iconic song.Â
The Cure – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover): One of the many, many “Love WIll Tear Us Apart” covers, an done of the best.Â
Download these covers after the jump! Continue reading →

Thom York vs Trent Reznor: Chi-Town Take Over
Yesterday, Chicago Sun-Times blogger, Jim DeRogatis leaked the entire lineup for what looks like 2008’s best summer music festival, Lollapalooza. The first four artists on the roster get your blood pumping, but two in particular caught my attention. Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails.
Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails have been taking turns giving the music industry the big finger. The Brits made headlines last October for releasingIn Rainbows without the control support of a record label, and Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails followed suit with last month’sGhosts I-IV.
The two bands have also been busy one-upping each other with their innovative promotion strategies. Life was happy having two brilliant bands continuously providing for innovative and buzzworthy ways to distribute digital media, simultaneously help digging record labels’ graves. That is, until Reznor accused Radiohead of ripping their fans off by selling them low-quality files.
Wired has come up with a 10 round face-off between the bands, and looking at the people’s votes, it seems Nine Inch Nails has got Radiohead beat in terms of innovation. Now we pose this question, who will take over Chi-Town this first week of August (Aug 1-3)?
The official lineup is found below

Pretty Much Amazing vs Elbo.ws
Before the blog-blockage of last weekend, I wrote up a PMA vs Elbo.ws vs Hype Machine post comparing the top artists of each respective party. That was fun and games, but I think it all really comes down to the songs. Its basically the meat between the two breads, if you ask me.
So lets get this cracking. Pretty Much Amazing’s Top Songs:
1. Radiohead – Bodysnatchers DOWNLOAD | LISTEN
2. Duffy – Ready For The Floor (Hot Chip cover)
3. Gnarls Barkley – Run DOWNLOAD | LISTEN
4. Portishead – Silence
5. MGMT – Time To Pretend
6. Does It Offend You, Yeah? – We Are Rockstars
7. Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma DOWNLOAD | LISTEN
8. Vampire Weekend – A-Punk

As I was writing this up, I got a brilliant idea. What about I make this into some sort of poll. Kind of like the Gossip Girl vs Chuck posts (that have somehow disappeared from my interests… for now). Alright good people, I want you to vote on music taste. Does elbo.ws (meaning the “music blog community” as a whole) have better taste than good ole Luis?
