Covers Project
May 23rd, 2006 . by Jilly
You know how there’s some songs that you never get sick of? I mean there’s some that you could just listen to forever and they’re just perfect songs. Well, My Old Kentucky Blog has been doing a lot of collecting lately. They took a couple classic songs and found all the cover versions of them. Some of the covers are pretty good.
They did this on The Smiths’ “There is a Light that Never Goes Out”, The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows”, Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”, and on Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart”. Check it out here.
I especially like the Nouvelle Vague’s cover of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” here.
It seems like MOKB will probably being doing more of these cover projects, so if you know of covers that they don’t have listed…they’d probably stoked to hear from you.
Nouvelle Vague’s cover of PIL’s ‘this is no a love song’ should be on there. Love will tear us apart is good but the PIL cover is much better.
