Blake Thompson daht NetI'm just saying….

Better late than never, right? I still made it up before 11pm on Tuesday!

I’m not sure why, but Mr. Brightside is one of my favorite songs by The Killers. And these guys do a really great accoustic version of it. The guitar work is awesome. The singing isn’t awesome, but isn’t bad. But again, the guitar work is, well, killer. [Here's the original. And here's an awesome remix of it!]

What do get when you take Phil Collins + An Officer and a Gentleman. Strip it down. Add some electronica music, and have some talented artists mail music back and forth? Well you get The Postal Service and Against All Odds of course. This song was for the Wicker Park soundtrack, so it’s the video. I really like this one.

Also, the NY Post named this cover #8 of 100 Best Cover Songs of all time. Who knew?

All Along The Watch Tower by Dave Matthews Band

Last week I put up a Dylan song that g liked. So I figured I’d give g one more Dylan song to see if it was up to standards. I think this a much better remake than the one I had last week. Of course, I like DMB better than GnR too.

Welcome to The Black Parade [originally by My Chemical Romance]

If you’ve not heard the original of Welcome to the Black Parade by MCR, then you might not truly appreciate it. To transpose it to piano totally is impressive. I like the original song a lot too.

I have found recently some good songs covered by other artists on YouTube. Some that I thought I had to share. But there were a lot. So why not make it a weekly thing? Throw a few out now and then. So here are the first two cover songs for Two Cover Tuesday.

The first one is from Travis. They are a Scottish band that is quite good. But he goes in a totally different direction with his song choice. Probably sounds much better than the original one, to be honest.

Another accoustic version of a song. Again, totally different types of artists when you compare the Plain White T’s and Rihanna.
