Arcade Fire - Born on a Train (Magnetic Fields cover)

It might be missing a little of the depth of the original, but Win Butler holds his own.

Deer Tick - Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young (Faron Young cover)

John McCauley with some old-school rockabilly for cover friday.

Sin Fang - The Only Living Boy in New York (Simon & Garfunkel)

Another track from Iceland: a fantastic cover by Sin Fang from Seabear (both of whom are on tumblr!). 

Franz Ferdinand - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover)

Still coming down from my NYC high - seems like an appropriate track.

Of Montreal - Tropical Ice-Land (Live at KCRW, Fiery Furnaces cover)

Reykjavik it is! Thanks everyone for your vacation ideas: an easy flight and a long time desire to see Iceland ultimately won out over visiting a warmer climate.

I owe Brooke a trip to the beach for sure, and hopefully we can get to some of the other suggested destinations someday soon. 

Mark Lanegan - Carry Home (The Gun Club cover)

I’m sure I’ve said it many times before, but Mark Lanegan is one of my all-time favorite voices, and he definitely makes this his own here. 

The Replacements - Breakdown (Tom Petty cover)

newspeedwayboogie:

I’d steal something back from him, if I could find something I liked.

Paul Westerberg, when asked about Tom Petty’s nicking of the lyric “rebel without a clue” from the Replacements song “I’ll Be You.”

Yo La Tengo - Girl, You’ll Be a Woman, Soon (Neil Diamond cover)

Fanfarlo - Just Like Christmas (Low cover)

Only one more Cover Friday until Christmas! (via)
