unpiano: music

Here are a trio of covers that have been sounding good to me lately. Calexico does an amazing job of breaking down ‘Guns Of Brixton’ and making it appropriately creepy. Yeah Yeah Yeahs create a version of ‘Diamond Sea’ that is even sleepier and more floaty. The Bloc Party cover is cheesy, I know, but have you ever heard that Nelly Furtado song before? I had totally forgotten about it until I heard this cover. Two pop songs colliding together always make me happy (for like the first 10 times). Don’t worry, I’ll hate that one in a week or so.

Calexico - The Guns Of Brixton
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Diamond Sea
Bloc Party - Say It Right
