Songs of The Week : All Covers

by Carmen Cruz

Covers? Why not. Let's start with one of my favourites....


Ben L'Oncle Soul ~ Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes get a MAJOR injection of soul.



The Bird and The Bee ~ I Can't Go For That - An AMAZING cover of a classic Hall & Oates tune.



Laura Marling ~ The Needle and The Damage Done - She does Neil Young proud.






Bruno Mars ~ Valerie - An awesome tribute to Amy Winehouse




Birdy ~ Skinny Love - Just when you thought this song wasn't depressing enough.... (Bon Iver). This little one is just 16 years old, comes from the UK and plays the piano like a pro.





Enjoy!

Music I'm Loving.

by Carmen Cruz

Here's a list of a few tunes I'm really into right now, both new and old.


The Airborne Toxic Event - All I Ever Wanted ~ I love tunes with strings in them. Plus, this band is awesome, so it's double the goodness.




The Strokes - Reptilia ~ One of my top 10 favourite bands. This song always reminds me of the game 'Garage Band'. I kick ass at the drums. No lie.







                                                       


Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma ~ Another band on the list of my top 10 favourites of all time. They're brilliant. I had a chance to meet the guys and hang out with them, and I had to bail. It's a long story, but my heart still hurts when I think about it. **sniffle, tear**




Björk - Venus As A Boy ~ Such an amazing tune. I *heart* this crazy lady!   





                                            

                                            


The Vaccines - If You Wanna ~ A total summer time song. Fun!



Artists I just 'don't get' include : Bruno Mars & Foster The People. Seriously. I might half-ass tolerate a tune by Foster, but that's about it. I just don't get the hype.
