#CoverOfTheDay is back baby, and it's spitting hot 🔥🔥🔥!

Today we've got one of my favorite live bands, the White Stripes on John Peel's show with one of the great live covers ever- Son House's 'Death Letter'

The #CoverOfTheDay is Elliott Smith's 'Angeles' as interpreted by Waxahaychee

This one works bc it plays the melody straight but situates it in a funeral dirge, which keeps the vibe of the original without being a slavish copy

RIP David Lindley
just heard about it which I attribute to not exposing myself to the Bad News Firehose that is Twitter as much

Was lucky enough to see him play quite a bit, and met him at a diner one time the day after a show, eating breakfast- terrific guy, amazing talent and our #CoverOfTheDay w his reggae influenced take on Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London

#CoverOfTheDay is ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' radically reimagined by Rogue Wave

Playing the lyrics straight while swapping bar blues instrumentation for ominous synths is an inspired choice

#CoverOfTheDay is The Stone Roses 'I Wanna Be Adored' performed by King Woman- I like how it is simultaneously dreamier and harder rocking than the original, just a great take on a classic
