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.Â
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.Â
