| Everything's Sweet Kai Straw |
Just a decent modern song. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Seven Nation Army (feat. Alice Russell) Nostalgia 77 |
Rayyan posted this one. It makes at least my seventh version of Seven Nation Army... |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | You Want It Darker Leonard Cohen |
Super deep and dark song with religious overtones, via the trailer for "Bones and All" |
| Ghostbusters Run-DMC |
Kinda by the numbers rap version of the classic theme. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | In Love With the World Aura Dione |
Mostly here because I dig the concept of "you're in love with a girl who's in love with the world" |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Skeleton Sam LVCRFT |
from the soundtrack to "Hocus Pocus 2" that my friend Sophie is an extra in. |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Take over Your World The Party Band |
Great, great, great closer for a local HONK favorite. Has that SNL-ending closer energy... take over your world / make it a better place / do real good things / and together we'll sing / just try your best / that's all we can ask / to bring world peace / and harmony |
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Gotta Work Amerie |
A lot like her other song but damn I love those horns and drums |
| Family Reunion (Live/1999) blink-182 |
Goofy profane celebration of "The 7 Words You Can't Say on Television" |
|
| I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink (Re-Recorded) Merle Haggard |
Cracked says to give country a chance |
|
| Kryptonite 3 Doors Down |
Cracked also talks about the reign of the razor scooter. I feel like I should know this song more than I do. |
|
| Please Don't Go KC and the Sunshine Band |
So, I loved the clubby Double You version of this song when I heard it in Portugal, and amazingly was able to find it at Newbury Comics by talking to the clerk. Had no idea it was a cover. This version is slower but good. |
|
| Got to Get You Off My Mind Solomon Burke |
Classic R+B referenced in "High Fidelity" when he's talking about the rules of the mixtape (he thought it might be too much to lead off with for a gal he was crushing on so he buried it on side two) |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Shutdown Skepta |
I do dig english hip hop - used to parody the UK government in this twitter video |
| June Gizelle Smith |
Throwback R+B they play at the bar at Simon Pearce in Woodstock VT. |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Don't You Want Me (feat. The Weather Station) Bahamas |
Amazing slow cover... Sometimes you just don't realize how dark a and menacing song is until you slow it down... |
