10 Indie Covers for tonight

I'm still addicted to finding/admiring cover songs.

1. The Wombats - Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis)
I was undoubtedly no fan of Bleeding Love but love this cover.


2. Arctic Monkeys - Take It Or Leave It (The Strokes) Arctic Monkeys were/are Strokes fans. See whether that Turner boy plus his Sheffield crew did them justice.

3. Mark Ronson - Just (Radiohead)
From his album Version, I like this one the best. Normally looks of horror should greet anyone covering Radiohead, but this one should not be missed. Note the multiple Ronsons in this videoclip.


4. Hard-Fi – Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes)
A whole different feel is given here - it needs to be heard.


5. Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - D.A.N.C.E (Justice)
This acoustic view comes off brilliantly.

6. The Kooks - Kids (MGMT)
Such a good cover, and Luke's accent just adds to it.


7. Arctic Monkeys - You Know I’m No Good (Amy Winehouse)
When will Arctic Monkeys learn to leave these songs (this cover, their Girls Aloud cover) to the ladies? Hopefully never, with this rendition a treat, albeit without the hilarity that their cover of Girls Aloud's pop chart scrambler imparted on the listener.


8. Muse - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths) Any Muse version of any song need be heard, with either an ear of disbelief or, in my case, appreciation.

9. Bloc Party - Say It Right (Nelly Furtado)
Hate Nelly Furtado. Love Bloc Party.


And the best cover version ever to grace the airwaves/CD/record:
10. Muse - Feeling Good (Nina Simone)

Or:
The advisable way of listening - as part of Muse's Origin of Symmetry album.
The advisable way of watching - a live peformance (Hullaboo live DVD or HAARP lvie DVD)
