Super Who?!

 I’ve always loved this cover of Oasis’ classic hit – ‘Wonderwall’ by the ever so talented Ryan Adams. I even think it’s better than the original, not only because Ryan Adams has a much prettier voice than Liam Gallagher but Ryan Adams’ take on it seems so much more passionate.

Ahh! I have to admit, I do have a soft spot for Glen Hansard. I think he’s an immensely talented singer and musician in general and I love how he manages to sing his heart out all the time. He’s done quite a few covers and I was going to write about his Britney Spears cover of ‘Everytime’ but I just thought the comedic value of this video was too much to turn down. Incase any of you didn’t know, It’s a cover of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me A River’.

A lovely cover of Jeffrey Lewis and Diane Cluck’s – ‘Travel Light’ performed by Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn. Both versions sound almost identical but It’s still a very nice song. I’m a big fan of both Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn so It’s nice to see them singing together. Oh, and I love the guitar part! Though Jeffrey Lewis always writes awesome guitar riffs so It’s not at all surprising.

Fanfarlo performing a cover of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy’s – ‘A Minor Place’. It’s a nice little cover but I think I’m leaning towards the original more. Fanfarlo are such an awesome band though.

Ohh oh! Cue musical heart attack once again! Beirut’s cover of ‘La Javanaise’ by Serge Gainsbourg. I haven’t actually heard the original but i’m going to go ahead and say this version is much better ;) Because well, who could resist Zach Condon singing in French?

Okay, Okay, I just couldn’t resist. A folk version of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s – ‘Baby Got Back’?!! Crazy. Here’s Jonathon Coulton sporting those famous lines….’I like big butts and I cannot lie’.

I verrrrry nearly forgot the incredible cover of The Clash’s – ‘Guns of Brixton’ by the amazing amazing AMAZING Arcade Fire. It needs no words, none of their music does :) So just watch, listen and enjoy!

Man, I love them.
