Its been almost two years since the last covers session. I cannot believe its been that long. Saying that this is overdue isn't even beginning to cover it (oh look, a pun already). This set is primarily on the softer side of cover songs, and it gets a little dancy in the end, but in general this is very eclectic.
Some of these songs completely blew me away when I first heard them. It seems the more random they are, the more beautiful they are (Hello! Antony and the Johnsons covering .... Beyonce? Really?! Its incredible!) I'll think you'll like this. Oh and thanks to Erin who showed me Japancakes album covering My Bloody Valentine's ENTIRE LOVELESS ALBUM. It was awesome. Alright, I hope you enjoy!
