lately it's

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - "Inspiration Information" (Shuggie Otis)

7/25/2009 6:53:25 PM

I won't say it's my all time favorite cover, but the Flaming Lips and Stardeath took Borderline by Madonna and put their bombast all over it.

"John saw that number" ~ neko case

"ooh la la" ~ silkworm

because it somehow managaes to make that song even sadder.
