All Of Me [Before You Exit / John Legend]
I am completely oblivious to pop music. I thought this was a new song until stilrzgirl told me otherwise and then I felt like a tool.

Hey … is that that guy from Foo Fighters?

From the soundtrack to the upcoming Cars 2 soundtrack, here’s Weezer covering the Cars. See how clever Pixar was with picking songs for the soundtrack? Which really shouldn’t be any surprise since Cars was the worst movie Pixar has ever made. It’s like someone decided to reenact Doc Hollywood with Matchbox cars and then got someone drunk to buy the movie rights.
Rounding out the cartoon covers, is Third Eye Blind. And three is a magic number … oh wait, that was earlier this week.
Awww yeah, slow jamming out another entry in my week of Cartoon Covers. Here’s the gang at Postmodern Jukebox belting out a tribute to Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
This is the third in my week of Catroon Covers. Because Three is a Magic Number.
How about a week of nothing but cartoon covers? Sweet! Get it? Cause Mary Lou Lord and Semisonic are covering “Sugar, Sugar” which was originally done by the cartoon band the Archies. Sweet.

One thing that has always surprised me, is the sheer lack of Meat Loaf covers. With a career spanning over 30 years, I’ve never found any … until today.
Here’s Jamey Johnson, turning the Mr. Loaf’s classic into a syrupy, twangy boatload of Waylon Jennings-ish classic country. Download for free.
Gotta love a good gimmick/name on a tribute band. A reggae sounding Zeppelin tribute band, why it’s Dread Zeppelin! I can’t explain the Elvis impersonator lead singer though.
Why, when I was trying to think of an Irish band to cover for St. Patty’s Day, was the first band I thought of was House of Pain? And then the first cover I find of House of Pain is by Limp Bizket. Ahhh fuck I’m drinking green beer.

This one was just posted by Smashing Pumpkins to their Facebook feed, so I thought I’d share. Here’s the Bad Rabbits doing 1979.

The editor in mt can’t decide if Coldplay is one word or two. Same with Yellowcard. If I’m wrong I will try to fix you.
To me it’s a tragedy how overlooked Queen is in the pantheon of rock and how not overlooked they are in the world of television commercials.
Cover to Cover is where I give you my loyal readers the chance to comapre and contrast two different versions of the same song, back to back, or cover to cover. It’s not meant to start a war, it’s meant to let you in.

Depeche Mode’s Stripped, on title alone it sounds promising, but in actuality is a pretty terrible song to erotically remove your clothing too. It’s hard to dance too, and that 80’s synth is kinda distracting. Rammstein’s cover of the song is much much better for the previously mentioned activity. Yeah, I can totally see some hot German goth type chick with a spiked collar hanging by her ankles from the stripper pole while … sorry. I got distracted.
First Friday of the month, means it’s another Me First Friday. Here the Gimmie Gimmies do their beautiful take on XTina’s Beautiful.
Shoshana Bean sounds like something you’d order at Chipolte. “Yes, I’ll have a Shoshana Bean Burrito please, hold the Guac.”

Some people might say that Poison covering Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” is just a desperate attempt to stay relevant and appeal to the under 21 demographic. The counter argument is that bandanna Bret Micheal has had crazy glued to to his head for the past decade is some kind of mind control device that forced him to do it. I’m kidding of course. There is no other option than the first one.
