Titus Andronicus Covering They Might Be Giants

Titus Andronicus covers They Might Be Giants

Check out the invincible Titus Andronicus covering "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants for the AV Club. The concept is they bring in indie bands to cover classics both old and new. If you head over to the AV Club's website you can check out more of these covers including Smith Westerns doing "American Girl" and Baths performing a stripped down version of "All My Friends".

Bon Iver Gives Us Something to Talk About

First, I'm sure someone, somewhere has already used that subject for this story. Please don't sue me. Everyone is unoriginal, deal with it.

Anyway, Bon Iver takes the headlines two days in a row now, having covered "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt, tossing in a bit of "Nick of Time" for good measure. To get your hands on the single, you'll have to preorder one of the packages for the new album Bon Iver, Bon Iver by going here. Or just wait all of five seconds and I'm sure you can find someplace to download it from.

Oh, a bit of old news, but a teen-aged singer from the UK who goes by the name Birdy does a pretty decent piano rendition of "Skinny Love". It definitely lacks the raw emotion of the original, but still impressive, especially when you consider her age. And I know I'm behind the eight ball on this one, but the last thing I would do with my life would be to watch a show on the CW (apparently this cover blew up Stateside when it was played on a episode of Vampire Diaries).

Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi cover)

A beautiful woman with a strong voice takes a shot of tequila and proceeds to make "Pursuit of Happiness" her own. What's not to love? Nicely played, Lissie.
