Lady Gaga, “Viva La Vida” [Coldplay Cover]
We just find ‘em, people. In truth, this cover is more interesting than we thought it would be. Though we can probably ballpark why St. Peter won’t call her name.
Dead Prez vs. Grizzly Bear, “Two Weeks of Hip-Hop” [Mash-up]
So first we had Sigur Ros vs. Mobb Deep. Now this. It is the Internet’s new meme, we guess: matching tough-as-nails hip-hop songs to increasingly wussier music. We hear that M.O.P./Beat Happening mashup is a corker.
James Brown, “There Was a Time” [Kenny Dope Remix]
Somehow, Kenny Dope found a way to make the godfather even funkier.
Kate Bush, “Running Up That Hill” [Datasette Remix]
So here’s the deal: anytime there’s a new remix of a Kate Bush song, S-M is gonna post it. We’re thinking about just doing periodic updates to remind you that there is a musician named Kate Bush, and that she made amazing records. Consider this the first.
Lykke Li, “Dance Dance Dance” [Buraka Som Sistema]
Let’s see those American Idol kids cover this.
