Another one that blows me away:
Also, Los Lobos' Del Este de Los Angeles, which is their first, self-released album. Basically, the tape they'd pass around to get gigs at Chicano weddings and parties. I know jack about Hispano-American music, but this shiznit sounds awesome to me.
El Canelo on Sesame Street, cabron!
Flor de Huevo
Cielito Lindo
and one that could be in that other thread of great covers...Volbeat - I Only Want To Be With You.
Volbeat does Dusty.
Or who knows which version they got it from, but this is my fave.

I was under the impression that Jukebox was an all-covers album, but I have no idea who does +80% of these songs. As a hardcore rock nerd with a taste for the pedantic, I gotta say, I'm f$~@ing impressed.
Anyway, that obviously leads to: Aretha does Bacharach.
Please excuse me while I cry.
She has an album called "The Covers Record" that is all covers of more recognizable music. Jukebox is all covers except for two tracks, but it's all old country, gospel and divas (there's a Billie Holiday cover, for one). So, a bit more obscure if you're more into rock and relatively newer stuff.
I only recognized Sinatra, Hank Williams and Dylan. Of course, she reshapes them so much, I didn't even realize "I Believe in You" was Bob until about the eighth listen!
The Black Keys – Lonely Boy
I'll have to ask my roommate if he has this album. I know he's got some, but I doubt he's got the new one. Cute video.
Who's Laura Marling? She from down your way?
|
|
She's British, but she's out our way at the moment. I'm hoping to go to an acoustic gig she's doing on Wednesday in Sydney, but I probably won't get tickets.
Here’s another, less recent one of hers: Ghosts.
I was going to link "Born in East L.A.," but it appears that the official video has been removed from youtube. :(
It's not a Datsun, it's a Chevrolet!
Another one I can link because I own other albums by her. But, now that I've got it linked, I have heard this before. God, I hope I didn't already link this--my memory lapses can be pretty powerful sometimes!
Here's what I've been listening to constantly lately:
St. Vincent--Marry Me
If you wanted to hear more Kate Bush albums made by people who aren't Kate Bush, check out St. Vincent.
Which isn't entirely fair--this is a beautiful album.
Mothman's post has led to me watching St. Vincent videos for at least two of the last 17 hours.
Lecturing the young Fawtlie Refugees about A Clockwork Orange made me have to bust out the Ode to Joy.

Heh. It may well have been your post that led me to St Vincent. Full circle.
Whoever is to blame, I am quickly becoming obsessed.

I don't know if it's because he listens to newer music, or that he listens to Australian music, but Mothman is my weak spot, so I'm going to skip most of his lists and jump to:
Ladyhawke – Black, White and Blue
which I've never heard, but I did enjoy her debut.
Which gives me more time to link The Eldritch Mr. Shiny!
EDIT: WTF, they cut off the last half second?!? Lame!
Yeah. Between Mothman and my friend Jarek, I get all kinds of new music ideas. Jarek's been getting into the Tubes (old school) and
Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters
Black Veil Brides (which I really liked the first time around when they were called Motley Crue!!) But Beezlebub bless em for keeping up the cockrock thing going! Ive got this one in the car right now.
and the one Ive been listening to a LOT this week Teenage Bad Girl
and the Drive soundtrack. Have you seen this movie yet? Dam it is cool!
I like this. Haven't listened to the others yet.

Ha! Probably a bit of both. I’ll try to link some of the better ones if I have a chance.
Speaking of new music, I can’t believe that I seem not to have been listening to any of Cloud Nothings’ new stuff while I’ve been browsing the message boards. Gark the Goblin is on to them though I think. It’s pretty awesome, and very different to their last record.

Hee hee! That song is inspired Zen moronicsm good fun, but that video was brilliance!
Please indulge me as I post a bunch of links here for easier access.
The Nipple Erectors--"So Pissed Off"
I am a huge Shane MacGowan fan, and although I haven't listened to my Pogues records in a while, I have been grooving to his first band.
Through the power of modern technology, I can be listening to college radio stations one minute, and then watching the video the next!
Tuneyards (or however they do it)--"Gangsta"
When I was listening to it, I assumed it was a female African chorus over some funky beats. Imagine my surprise!
The Persuaders--"It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate"
I was gonna post this on the Male Privilege thread, but even I can't troll all the time.
