Deaf Indie Elephants

Sometimes I forget how much I like Sonic Youth, this week I had in high rotation the Dry album and suddenly (while I was rocking with Nic Fit) I thought that a cover post would be nice. I started to search and I found a lot, but I stopped it because I think this page has a looot of information about Sonic Youth covers. Enjoy it.

A veces se me olvida lo MUCHO que me gusta Sonic Youth, esta semana he tenido en alta rotación el Dry y de repente me dije por qué no hacer un post de covers, haciendo búsquedas encontré una gran gama de versiones que desgloso al final, se que existen muchas más pero no las coloqué porque prefiero que ustedes mismos las vean en esta gran página que encontré de la banda.

MP3s:
Sonic Youth - Touch Me I’m Sick (Mudhoney cover)
Sonic Youth - Nic Fit (Untouchables cover)
Sonic Youth - Ca Plane Pour Moi (Plastic Bertrand cover)
Sonic Youth - I Wanna Be Your Dog (Stooges cover)

One artist covering a bunch of songs. This new edition with The Flaming Lips covering Beck, Elvis, White Stripes, Radiohead, Bowie and more, this is just an excellent selection.
Just two things: Life on Mars has an audio problem (I tried several versions and I couldn’t find a clear one), John Lennon’s cover is cut at the end (once again, I tried several versions and couldn’t find a perfect one)

Un artista haciendo covers de distintas canciones. Esta nueva edición con The Flaming Lips haciendo covers de Beck, Elvis, White Stripes, Radiohead, Bowie y más, esta es una excelente selección.
Sólo 2 cosas debo mencionar: Tanto Life on Mars como la de John Lennon tienen unos problemas de audio. Intenté bajar varias versiones pero no encontré ninguna que estuviese 100% limpia. (si consiguen, avísenme, gracias)

English Version:

I’m aware that a lot of my posts are “Covers”, in fact those posts I enjoyed them the most. CoverpeDIE™ (a silly word game) isn’t a new section, instead it’s a way to “institutionalize” all the covers posts on this blog. Who knows, maybe that’ll be the direction of the blog in the future.

For that reason; CoverpeDIE™ features:
- Cover It: Several artists covering one song.
- Cover Me: One artist covering.. a lot of songs.
- Cover You: Several artists covering one musician.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Versión en Español:

Estoy consciente que la mayoría de los posts del blog son de covers, de hecho son con los que más disfruto. Por esa razón CoverpeDIE™ (una frase con tonto juego de palabra) no es una nueva sección sino una forma de institucionalizar todos los posts de covers que se hagan…. quien sabe que esa pueda ser la dirección que tome el blog en el futuro.

CoverpeDIE™ incluye:
- Cover It: Varios artistas hacen covers de una misma canción.
- Cover Me: Un artista hace covers de varias canciones.
- Cover You: Varios artistas hacen covers de UN músico.

Comentarios, peticiones y sugerencias son bienvenidas.

It’s nice when you see a song covered by several artists… but I wanted to take “as a experiment” a new section titled “Cover Me”: one artist covering different songs. (wooooow)

For this post, I chose The Dresden Dolls’ Amanda Palmer. Man, this girl has made a bunch of covers. Just take a look at youtube and you’ll see all the videos the fans have uploaded. Enjoy this 6 covers and the section

MP3s:
Amanda Palmer - Creep (Radiohead Cover)
Amanda Palmer - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab For Cutie Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Marry Me (St. Vincent Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Satisfaction (Rolling Stone Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Such Great Heights (The Postal Service Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Umbrella (Rihanna Cover)

Versión en Español:

Es interesante cuando ves una canción interpretada por una gran cantidad de músicos, pero esta vez quise hacer un experimento, en vez de enfocarme en la canción, enfoquémosno en el artista. Es por ello que esta nueva sección “Cover Me” involucra a un músico interpretando diversos covers.

Para empezar seleccioné a la vocalista de The Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer. Esta mujer como tiene videos “aficionados” en youtube haciendo una inmensa cantidad de covers. Aquí tienen aquellas que se podían escuchar de una manera decente. Es poco, pero si quieres más ve los videos que los fans han subido.

MP3s:
Amanda Palmer - Creep (Radiohead Cover)
Amanda Palmer - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab For Cutie Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Marry Me (St. Vincent Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Satisfaction (Rolling Stones Cover)
Amanda Palmer - Such Great Heights (The Postal Service Cover)
