Search for it on hype. Wait, I'll do it for you.

TA DA!

I abuse blog aggregators for a lot of those covers, too. Some actually just have entire entries based on one song covered by different people. I just search for the song title.

And you can listen to it there or click to read the posts and download there (if the song still exists in the post).

You find some cool stuff, like this entry with a bunch of New Order covers:

So I was listening to my iPod in the car and I realized I have a blue billion others:

The Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love (or, you know, most all of 69 love songs)
Ben Folds - Inbetween Days
Ben Folds - Golden Slumbers
Ben Folds - Tiny Dancer
Pete Yorn - Ever Fallen in Love
The Sundays - Wild Horses

And if you're into a cappella (things like Rockapella and some collegiate groups) covers, I have quite a few, too.

8/4/2006 7:14:18 PM

I have a horrendous recording of Belle and Sebastian doing "Sympathy for the Devil". If anybody can find a good recording of it, I will give them like a million handjobs in return.

8/4/2006 10:24:29 PM

Oooh, that reminds me. Belle & Sebastian do a very cute cover of one of my all-time favorite Beach Boys songs, "Darlin'".

Tell me one thing, one single solitary thing, that's better/more interesting than the original.

Is it the generic white boy reggae guitar?
Is it the soulless Robert Smith impression + chorus and reverb?
Is it XXXXXXXXXXX?

8/8/2006 1:59:26 AM

not once ever did I say it was better than the original....

but you can't deny my Dan Band pick... that makes up for it
