HAPPY NEW YEAR - Something Warm - Melanie Safka Cover

So people, it is the last day of 2009. I have ALMOST succeeded in posting a pop song a day. the flu, two computer breakdowns, performances, etc and I'm somewhat short of my goal. But I am going to fill in the rest in the next month so that there is a blog with 365 pop covers. It might take me a little longer than a year, but I will do it. in the meantime, I offer you a Melanie cover for the end of the year. May you have a fantastic 2010!


love

Kenny

Russian Roulette - Rihanna Cover

This was not the single that everyone wanted Rihanna to come out with after the whole Chris Brown affair. As Neal Medlyn said, it should just be a few BPM faster and it would be great..
The picture above is of my favorite magician (yes, i have a favorite magician!) Derren Brown. He went on live TV and played Russian Roulette. He's cool...

Hey Soul Sister - Train Cover

Truly bizarre love song from Train. They have been listening to too many smooth soul songs and had the thought that that strange specificity belongs with their style of music. Not so much. R Kelly wants his lyric back.

A new song from Lady Antebellum. That's about it.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS - Suspended in Gaffa - Kate Bush Cover

Probably my favorite Kate Bush track. Though there are so many. I stole The Dreaming on cassette tape from the Tower Records on Ventura Boulevard by putting it up my jacket arm. I then walked back to Harvard School For Boys listening to it and my mind was blown. This track introduced me to waltz time in rock/pop. My life was never the same after The Dreaming.

Eight Second Ride - Jake Owen Cover

As far as I can tell, this song is about a woman who goes home with a guy only because the wheels on his truck are large. And I like the detail of the narrator telling her that she should watch out for the bucket he spits his chew in. So romantic!

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD: Eight Second Ride - Jake Owen Cover

Paparazzi - Lady Gaga Cover

Okay, so new computer, new set-up, new year (I just had a birthday) and I'm ready to start doing covers again. I realize I have a lot of covers to create to catch up but I'll start with my newest and work backwards from now. Here for your listening pleasure/annoyance is Lady Gaga's Paparazzi. I can't wait for her tour with Kanye. And she's going to be on the VMAs this weekend. Yay!

Send it On - Disney Friends For Change Cover with Neal Medlyn

Closer To Love - Mat Kearney Cover

i actually like this song, though I think it is a 911 song, well past the time that it is okay to write such a thing. But I still like it.

I'm Alive - Kenny Chesney Cover

What an odd song from Kenny Chesney. Sheesh. I'm glad he's feeling so good but it feels like a strange Goth song from the 80s not a Kenny Chesney song. And the chord progression is so close to something else that it is bothering me. I'll figure it out..

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS - Dimming Of The Day - Richard and Linda Thompson Cover

My partner is our of town on business so I've had evenings home alone to spend WAY too much time recollecting music that I used to own. Last night was English Folk night. Pentagle, Steeleye Span, all of that. But none of it hold a candle to Richard and Linda Thompson and this their finest moment, if you ask me. I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Thompson and she is a wonderful giving generous artist. I love her..
