Cover up.

The Boss.


I remember a girl from Chicago who loved Bruce Springsteen. She had glasses.
She moved out west and I haven't heard from her in 5 years.

I found two great covers of "I'm on Fire" today. It is a pretty good song but damn...

Bats for Lashes - I'm on Fire.


Chromatics - I'm on Fire.

Anyway, I'm partial to the BFL cover, but the chromatics aren't that shabby either. Both have great female vocals and are pretty slow.

Perfect Pop Song.


I'm always ready to listen to Enjoy the Silence. For my money it's pretty much the perfect pop song. Lots of space, simple yet amazingly powerful hooks, and the ability to bond to your memory and never forget the first time you heard it.

I've never really listened to Division Day, but I admire their efforts on this cover. I was hoping the eerie record warble sound would stay for the whole song and that the entire sound was creepy, but close enough.

Division Day - Enjoy the Silence.

Be Strong. Be White.



The dead kids are very british yet they make me think about New York. I think they could do a bit better on the chorus but it's fun for your ears. They have a new single coming out monday.

Dead Kids - Fear and Fluoride.



SEXY MF!



It appears that prince is back and he is a white swedish guy.



Nice hair fella.
I can't tell if this last clip is lip synched or not... but it looks really Top of the Pops meets eurotrash American bandstand. Fab.

Grind for the Grind God.


One of the most consistent and heavy death metal bands ever, Bolt Thrower rarely disappoints. Not to mention a large amount of their material is influenced by Warhammer, which you just can't beat.
It's the sound of war made flesh.
