I am not sure if it is the fact that I have finally made friends or that I have been loaded with work this past month, but it has not been easy getting posts up every day. However, to get me back in the swing of things I have decided to do something new, which is to post some covers. I define a good cover as one that attempts to stray away from the original and create its own atmosphere of sound. I feel as if the following songs really fit my mold of a “good” cover.
The first cover I will post is of "About a Girl," originally by Nirvana. This song is so good that it is a bit difficult to do a terrible version of it, but I am sure it could be done. On the other hand, this version by Cibo Matto is one of my favorite covers of any Nirvana song. The video is just bizarre, but it was just the only one that I could find that had the full version of the song on it.
I am sure some of you have heard this following cover, but for those who haven't heard it you are in for quite a treat. This is a cover of one of the best songs of last year: "My Girls" by Animal Collective. However, this version is called "My Boys" and it is done by Taken By Trees. I would actually even suggest giving Taken by Trees some listens. They put out a fantastic record last year entitled East of Eden.
