If you’ve read my past posts, you will know I am a huge fan of cover songs. I’m not sure if anyone shares this love of mine. Oh well.

Anyway, I stumbled upon a electronica cover of the entire Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction album by Ruby Isle.

You can download the whole album here. Check out Paradise City posted above for a sample of their work.

Enjoy.

It is well known that I love covers and that I love Sufjan Stevens.  So it comes as no surprise that I am greatly anticipating this upcoming tribute album: SEVEN SWANS REIMAGINED.

Cool Covers Acapella Edition

I am always searching for cool covers, which is why I read a number of blogs that focus on covers; cover covers, if  you will.

Today, I found one—remember Rockapella?  The band that is famous for their theme song for “where in the world is Carmen San Diego?”  Well, they’re back with a new album and is trying to draw attention with a cover of Vampire Weekend’d A-Punk.  I think it’s very cool.  It’s free to download. I’ve attempted to paste in the widget below.  Hopefully it works.  If not, click here.
