Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Bashers | Maggie’s Farm (Bob Dylan cover)

It’s taken a while but I’m starting to really like cover Friday. And this is solely because of the great covers my Tumblr friends pick every week. 

Somewhat related to this song: this morning I watched Fred’s speech about 10 ways to be your own boss which inspired me to pick this cover. 

Bruce Springsteen | Plane Wreck At Los Gatos (Woddy Guthrie cover)

Couldn’t come up with anything other to say except for: Hail to the boss.

Junip | The Ghost Of Tom Joad (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

Bruce Springsteen covers are never a bad idea. When they’re performed by José González, Bruce Springsteen covers get an extra awesome on top. 

Scarlett Johansson | Bullet (Steel Train Cover)

I’ve never really been fussed about actresses turning singers and it’s been years since I last heard anything exciting but Scarlett Johansson’s take on Bullet kind of makes me want to call her and finally propose to her.

Happy Cover Friday! 

This post was inspired by Whit.

Beck | Sunday Morning (Velvet Underground Cover)

The Ataris | The Boys Of Summer (Don Henley Cover)

How convenient. Clicked through to this track after searching for it on the Hype Machine and it’s on Tumblr. That’s an easy reblog, today, from a tropical Berlin.

Always loved this California pop/punk/rock version while The Ataris originally are from Indiana.

Calexico | Love Will Tear Us Apart

I’m really bad at finding good covers, so Andy gets my reblog.

Calexico - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Joy Division as interpreted wonderfully.

Jónsi | Time To Pretend (MGMT Cover)

Alright. MGMT and I, we have history. And it’s not a pleasant one. This history made it much easier for me to hate their new record and I thought quite a bit about if I want one of their songs to me my Friday cover. In this case, we’re talking Jónsi and Jónsi wins. Can’t wait to see him play Berlin in June. 

The National | Mansion On The Hill (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

Fred posting a Bruce Springsteen cover today reminded me of this cover of Mansion On The Hill by The National. The National & Springsteen, I like the sound of that.

Mumford & Sons - Cousins (Vampire Weekend cover live on BBC Radio 1)

Guess what. I’ve posted this song one before. On Monday to be exact. So why again? Simple, it’s cover Friday and this track has been on replay this entire week during my bike rides to the office and back home. 

Kevin Devine - The Only One (Manchester Orchestra cover)

A day late for Cover Friday. Going to see my old pal Kevin play at Bang Bang Club tomorrow. Been a while since I last saw him so I’m looking forward to this.

Here’s the original song.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder Cover)

Two reasons for why I make this my cover Friday:

• Whit sent an email suggesting we make today Stevie Wonder Cover Friday
• Earlier this week, Bijan asked his Twitter followers for songs with an awesome bass line. Higher Ground was suggested by @rauguste.

Get Well Soon - Harmour Love (Syreeta Wright cover)

I’m aware this is my millionth Get Well Soon post, but check this out:

• Today, Vexations entered the German album charts on #11
• The original was written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta is adorable
• I didn’t miss cover Friday
• feels like spring today in Berlin

Joy Zipper - Just Like Heaven (The Cure cover)

I always miss cover Friday. Not this time. It’s Friday, that’s my song of the day.

From the compilation: Just Like Heaven - A Tribute to The Cure
