Unless you can pull an awesome cover off!

Not even the calendar can stop me from posting some covers! Tuesday was really busy for me + no planning = Cover Tuesday on Wednesday.

But I’m sure you don’t mind.

Coldplay – When You Were Young (The Killers cover): The mp3 does have a really long live introduction (sort of), but the cover is worth it. I do know the quality will bug some people, but this was the best I could get my hands on. If you’ve got better, please share.

Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (The Beatles cover): “Across the Universe” is arguably the best Beatles’ song ever. Hell… it’s arguably best song ever written. This female vocalist spin on it is a very nice touch. Though, I’m still a fan of Jim Sturgess‘ theatrical version. 

Franz Ferdinand – Mis-Shapes (Pulp cover): Franz Ferdinand have a knack to cover songs how the Arctic Monkeys cover songs: banging on a guitar whilst hollering post-punkesque vocals.

Kasabian – Out of Space (The Prodigy cover): It’s been a long while since I’ve even thought about Kasabian. File this cover under the “Better Than The Original” category. 

John Mayer – Kid A (Radiohead cover): I won’t front. I do enjoy myself some John Mayer tunes. He has a great voice and, depending on my mood, his tunes can be real tear-jerkers. But it’s hard not to do that Juno “WHOA! DREAM BIG” thing when you listen to this cover. Maybe tackling “Kid A” wasn’t a good idea. Stick to the easy stuff — “Creep,” anyone?
