I like the original with Ike singing the intro.

May Tina Turner rest in peace.

[Phil Hackett]

My sister, who was about 14-16 at the time, told me a story of her and one of her girlfriends going over to Tina's house several times (it was about 3 miles away) and looking through the windows and traipsing through the backyard hoping to see her. No one was home. This was when Tina was still married to Ike and celebrities didn't live with security cameras and personnel 24/7. Ties have changed.

 

Tina was someone who had it all, lost it all, and then made it back bigger than ever.

 

R.I.P. Tina Turner.

Coincidentally one of my sister-in-laws is is vacationing in London and was at the Tina Turner play, yesterday.

They learned about her passing during intermission.

They had a moment of silence at the start of the 2nd half, and then the rest of the play was extra raucous.

I met the lead singer of this band, Speed Limit, a couple of years ago.  He told me when they did this video, Nancy Sinatra was in attendance and gave a thumbs up.  Sadly Keith recently passed away.

Lately I've been lacking inspiration to do something new. I think I just found it. Learn to play a harp guitar. This Scarburough Fair cover is amazing.

The Second Arrangement - Steely Dan (Joshua Lee Turner and Friends)

 

This is fun.

The Smoky Nights - Home
 
(Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Live Cover)

 

Sadly, our favorite local band, The Smoky Nights, have broken up.

We were privileged to attend their last public performance. Shortly after that show, Anthony Nguyen and Lilly Nguyen were divorced.

 

Lilly has formed a new band "The Lilly Bethke Band" and Anthony has returned to teaching guitar.

Not so much a cover band  as a cover of a B.B. King song.   Bootleg of Peter Green  "I've Got a Good Mind to Give Up Living" on YouTube.  Eight minutes of live blues guitar bliss!

A most-excellent rendition of a classic. Enjoy!

Fabulous cover of Earth Wind & Fire:

Here's a couple of EXCELLENT covers by America's favorite clown, Puddles. First up, some Pink Floyd:

 

And some Black Sabbath:

This is a most unexpected pairing: Metallica plays Elton John!

Puddles is disturbing...at best.

This might blasphemy to many but.... just imagine Ozzy working with Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Daft Punk to put out a mashed up pop tune:

I guess I don't know, then. It's not a link...

 

This isn't a cover, either, but i like it:

The Demon Hunter's are out to slay Gwi-Ma who really is Taylor Swift.

[Phil Hackett]

Not really a cover: (God, this makes me feel old!) This is one of a series of videos where a drummer in brought into the studio and the studio engineer presents them with a song they've never heard before. The drummer is then played the song *without* the drum track and they are tasked with filling in the song with their own interpretation.

 

In this case it's Baba O'Reilly by The Who (as if I have to identify the group. She (Kriss. I have never heard of her before) does a very good job of drumming to a song she's never heard before.

 

(I am somewhat skeptical that a serious musician hasn't heard of some of these songs but they maybe they're so intensely involved in their own genre they really haven't heard some of these songs)

I guess I have to explain the post.... KPOP Demon Hunters is about a vocal group who protects the human-side of the world from the demon-side by their songs and kill any demons who break through the barrier called the Honmoon. The King of the Demons is a "thing" of fire, Gwi-Ma. Gwi-Ma is similar to Satan or the devil or whatever evil you want to believe in. In the picture Taylor Swift is Gwi-Ma and the implication is the Demon Hunters are going to seal her off so she cannot threaten the human-side again but Gwi-Ma is powerful, unrelenting, unforgiving and tempting so victory will be difficult.

 

It's the best animation I have seen in years and it has none of the trash Disney likes to inject into their movies. It's a good story and the music *is* good too. You can tell that the people who made this movie really cared.

 

The entire movie, except in a few places, is in English. The few places Korean is sung don't hurt the songs or meanings. I didn't care for the first song, "How It's Done" but it has grown on me. Put subtitles on because the rap is incredibly fast, even Rappers who have done the genre for years are impressed.

I'm come across these by accident listening to the Alternative station on my cable feed.

 

Not really a cover band, they have great original music but do 2 or 3 covers.

 

This one is an extended jam version of Bob Seger's Hollywood Nights.

 

I love this version along with the original and I love these guys.

 

The keyboardist and sometime guitarist is a dead ringer for Weird Al Yankovic and has a perpetual grin on his face like he owns his own King track. Lol

Here's a "classic" cover that found me last week. Some more 80s weirdness:

 

[Bill Breck]

How about a little classical music for you kids?

 

 

 

I really liked that the Tocatta & Fugue was performed on guitars, which once again proves that Bach was the original shredder.

The last of my 4 parties today is an adult party.

 

Here is the great musical entertainment knocking it out of the park with Steve Earle's Copperhead Row.

Live music and slot cars!

 

Reminds me of a laundromat in a nearby beach city that had a bar in it. Wash your duds and get buzzed! Except the music and slot cars probably doesn't need a special city license to do business.

The last of my 4 parties today is an adult party.

Were adult beverages served? Was the cake vanilla or chocolate?

 

Chocolate cake and beer is a tasty combo.
