Jack White - Love is Blindness (U2 cover)

Woow, after listening this version, I start believing that U2 covered this song from a Jack White’s band of the 70s.

Enjoy cover Friday with the Best Cover Songs of 2011. Thanks to www.covermesongs.com.

Joseph Burns gives a good rundown of the complex influences that came together in the creation of rock and roll. The only thing he doesn’t mention is that—and this should be obvious, but isn’t—nobody knew at the time that it would define the sound of popular music throughout the world for the next half-century or more.

LEADBELLY “Three Songs by Leadbelly” (1945)

Amazing films archives from 1945 edited by the great Peter Seeger. The only film ever made of the legendary Leadbelly, including instrumental version of”Black Girl” in the intro.

Menomena - “TAOS”

This is by far my favorite song on Menomena’s Mines album. 

The lyrics are rather appropriate for what’s going down in my world.  This song has become the anthem to my next chapter in life. 

I’m not the most cocksure guy
but I get more bold with every smile

Here’s a video of them just wailing out the song live on KEXP:

The Volitains – This Love 

                  

                       

I’m sure  Nick D’Amico when saved the semi-drunken crazed-looking (sic) Candice from the railways of Camdentown never had in his mind to form a band with her. Call it luck, destiny or fate the two with Jim (bass), Dave (drums) formed The Volitains.

Although ”Drunk girls are boringly wild” as James Murphy sings, this is not the case for Candice Ayery and The Volitains. Their first, self released EP, called “Underground” reveals a very powerful band that knows how to mix its punk and blues influences with drunk girls and make you listen to their songs again and again and again and again…. The missing link between The Black Keys and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Can’t wait for an lp or a gig!!

PS If you want this exclusive song just write an email to the band on myspace or thevolitains@hotmail.co.uk and they will send it to your inbox! Totally cool, right?
