Cover Version Challenge 2
In the past, I've made tape and cd compilations of covers for friends where I don't include a proper song list, all I include is a list of the original artists, and a list of the covering artists, and they have to figure out who covered who. I've been thinking of a way that I could do this on the blog, but with the files having detailed information about the song attached, it wouldn't be very hard to figure out. So I deleted the info. I'm posting five songs, named A, B, C, D & E; I'll give a list of the five covering artists, and a list of the five original artists. I only received two responses to last week's challenge, and my friend Mike got all five right. Here are the answers and the songs reposted with the info intact:
A - Goodbye Girl by Tarkio, originally by Squeeze
B - Secret Heart by Feist, originally by Ron Sexsmith
C - I Don't Like Mondays by Ron Sexsmith, originally by The Boomtown Rats
D - Thunder Road by Badly Drawn Boy, originally by Bruce Springsteen
E - Mushaboom by Bright Eyes, originally by Feist
Now here's this week's cover version challenge:
A - B - C - D - E
Covering Artists:
Tori Amos
Eliza Carthy
Thea Gilmore
Emm Gryner
Kathryn Williams
Original Artists:
The Clash
Death Cab For Cutie
Depeche Mode
Nirvana
Paul Weller
Next week, I'll have the answers and another five songs to guess. You can submit your guesses in the comments or e-mail them here: andthroughthewireblog@yahoo.ca . This is just for fun only, there are no prizes.
By the way, if you're looking to get your hands on more cover versions; head over to My Old Kentucky Blog. Dodge has expanded his collection of Love Will Tear Us Apart covers; and added collections of covers of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds, Blue Oyster Cult's (Don't Fear) The Reaper, The Beach Boys' God Only Knows and others.

Nice site. Linda sent me the link. One of the nicest covers of a Beatles' tune is Damon & Naomi (ex-Galaxy 500) doing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on The Earth Is Blue. Sorry, but I cannot participate in your "guess the cover" game: old building = dial up. Blah.
