THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Enjoy the Silence”

This week’s Thowback Thursday cover is “Enjoy the Silence” Echotape. We’d feature this band every TBT with their cover songs if we didn’t think it might be slight overkill and seem like favoritism, but we like their covers. They’re fun and the band is good.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “In the Air Tonight”

Holly’s voice takes this song to another place and time. She does such a brilliant cover of this song by Phil Collins that I truly don’t have the words to express how good it is so I’ll let her voice and this cover speak for itself. If you stumble upon the album LIVE STUFF, you’ll be able to grab this for yourself and I recommend this … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY: “In the Air Tonight”

COVER SONG: “Ace of Spades”

While researching bands that begin with “E”, we stumbled onto London’s Echotape and HOLY MOLY BATMAN! Am I digging this band. They’ll be our Music Brought to You by the Letter E later in the week, but we couldn’t pass sharing their cover of Motörhead classic “Ace of Spades”. We’ll feature a few other covers by the band through out the rest of the week/month as … Continue reading COVER SONG: “Ace of Spades”

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Istanbul, Not Constantinople”

This week’s Throwback Thursday cover should have been called: MIND COMPLETELY BLOWN! How have I not known that They Might be Giants wasn’t the  original band that sang “Istanbul, Not Constantinople”? Totally thought they were the originators but it was a group called The Lads. So we give you the They Might be Giants version put to the visuals of Tiny Toons and the original! … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Istanbul, Not Constantinople”

Throwback Thursday: “Pale Blue Eyes”

In my eyes, The Kills can do no wrong and their cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Pale Blue Eyes” is signature The Kills and an absolute smart and brilliant cover. The cover of “Pale Blue Eyes” was one of the b-sides to The Kills’ single “The Last Goodbye” that was from their last album BLOOD PRESSURES. The Kills: Facebook | Website “Pale Blue Eyes” by The … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: “Pale Blue Eyes”
