Best Cover Songs of 2011
December 18, 2011
Seems like cover songs are all the rage and I’m sure it’s due to ease of home-recording through such sites as SoundCloud and Bandcamp. What a great way to get a feel for what a musician’s audience thinks of songs they are working on or just sharing with their fans.
I decided to make a list of the one’s I liked the most but I didn’t put them in any particular order. That’s just too difficult. It’s not a top 10 list, it’s just my favorites so If you have a favorite that you’d like to share, post it in comments.
Trent Reznor and Karen O, Led Zepplin, ‘Immigrant Song’
Good lord, how did they pull this one off?? It’s awesome and updated really well. It won’t ever replace the original but I love it and love how perfectly Ms. O’s vocals work with the song.
Robin Pecknold and Alela Diane cover Nico’s ‘These Days’
The lead singer of Fleet Foxes, has often expressed his love for the 70’s legend and Warhol prootege for her music. It’s nice to hear his take on this classic Nico song.
Bon Iver-Bonnie Raitt ‘ I can’t make you love me/love in the nick of time’
Not only does Justin Vernon produce Grammy nominated albums but he can honor a classic song with skill and beauty. Justin, also known as Bon Iver, does a beautiful mix rendition of two Bonnie Raitt classics.
make you love me_nick
Vernon has covered many songs including a few he recorded in 2008. Here are some stand out covers:
Bon Iver – Why (Annie Lennox Cover)
Bon Iver – The Park (Feist Cover)
John Legend-Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’
I found this amazing a capella version of John Legend singing Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and it just floored me. You must have an amazing voice to be able to pull off an Adele cover and John stood up to the challenge. Beautiful.
01 Rolling in the Deep (Adele Cover) (1)
Lissie- Metallica ‘Nothing Else Matters’
Only Lissie could pull off a cover of a metal song and make it work. She may have just breathed new life into this Metallica classic. Lissie just came out with an album of covers, “Covered Up With Flowers” so be sure to check it out. They’re all amazing.
Jessie Baylin Thin Lizzy ‘A Song for While I’m Away’
Sticking with the theme of “rock cover songs you didn’t expect from gorgeous female singer/songwriter’s”, Jessie Baylin gives Thin Lizzy’s,’A Song for While I’m Away’ a new twist. Check out her EP of covers, “Pleasure Center”.
St. Vincent Big Black ‘Kerosene’
and to end the trifecta of our ladies with gentle souls rocking out, here’s St. Vincent blowing our minds with this intense cover of Big Black’s ‘Kerosene’…who knew? It’s loud, it’s obnoxious but it’s amazing. This woman can do anything.
Birdy- Bon Iver’s ‘Skinny Love’
If you haven’t heard of birdy yet, you will. She’s a 16 year old British girl who won Open Mic UK competition when she was just 12 years old. She just released her debut album “Birdy” November 7th.
James Vincent McMorrow Steve Winwood’s ‘Higher Love’
Love this slowed down version of this Winwood classic. If you haven’t heard this guys own stuff you must! He’s an amazing musician.
Last day to help me make my Birthday Wish come true.
December 9, 2011
Hello, and thanks for checking out my Birthday Wish!
For my birthday on December 9th, I’m asking my friends and family for a special gift: help me raise $1000 for National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
I chose National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) because it hits home for me and i want to give back.
Please consider giving to my Birthday Wish, and together we can make the world a better place. If you can’t give now, I’d really appreciate if you’d share this page with your friends.
Thanks so much,
Christina
anything helps, 5, 10 15, whatever u can

My Birthday Wish
December 4, 2011
So it’s my birthday this Friday December 9th. I’ll be blah blah years old. I thought it would be nice to take the opportunity to raise money for a charity that deals with issues that help millions of people who share the same struggles that I have. It’s the first time I’ve ever mentioned it on here but I think it is important to give back to your community or to a cause that has either directly affected you or someone close to you. It’s important to bring awareness and support if you want people to get the help they deserve.
Eating disorders are on the rise and affect women and men of all ages and race and are not just anorexic’s. There use to be something called the “Freshman 15” which referred to the 15 pounds women would most likely gain during the first semester of college. Now there is the “Freshman -15” where women are more likely to fall into a pattern of not eating due to pressure and stress. Eating disorders aren’t about food, it is much more complex than that and is life threatening if not properly treated. Please give what you can if you’d like to help.

Thanks
