Dave Hyndman's Tumblog

William Shatner - Common People (original by Pulp/Jarvis Cocker)

This is one of my all-time favourite covers. This isn’t the usual Shatner camp. This is a great rock song featuring wonderful 2nd vocals by Joe Jackson.

Steve Earle - Willin’ (Little Feat cover)

Man, I love this song. From his Sidetracks album.

And if you give me
Weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’
To be movin’

KT Tunstall - The Golden Age

I posted Beck’s The Golden Age a couple of days ago, so I thought this cover would be a good follow up. KT sounds good on this one.

Ola Podrida - Calling and Not Calling My Ex (Okkervil River)

I’ve never heard of Ola Podrida, but he’s working with some good material here.

Found over at Cover Me.

Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova playing Dylan’s You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

My Friday Cover of the Day.

Diamonds & rings and a gun that sings

A flute that toots and a bee that stings

A sky that cried and a bird that flied

A fish that walks and a dog that talks

Here’s a great cover of REM’s You Are Everything by a band called Redbird.

Here’s a great cover: Eels doing Prince’s I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
