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. 

Mates Of State – California (Phantom Planet cover): This is such a great cover to an iconic song. 

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.
