It's got some nice heartbreaking vocals for Mikel to play with, (maybe with Anna on backup), and the sweeping orchestration that with all the multi-instrumented talent in the band, could lead to a great arrangement. I think you guys could do something awesome with it.
You we're so close to playing Bankrupt on Selling by Modest Mouse at the show for radio 94.7. The Drifters cover was incredible like everything you guys do, but it would be awesome if you could release a version of that as well. Can't wait to see you guys in DC and maybe Charlotte too.
First I was like: "Oh some guys covering The Airborne Toxic event? Wow they have a girl playing the violin, too. They wanted the cover to be perfect." and then I noticed : "Oh they also have an asian. Wait, these ARE The Airborne Toxic Event" lol
Great Show In Houston Guys. The Meredian, House of Blues, and Then Wharehouse Live. You Guys gave an Epic show that night. After I got home, I couldn't even play a track from you guys without missin' Yall. Can't wait till Ya return. I Have a suggestion for a cover, "Bye Bye Love- Everly Brothers." Simon and Garfunkel also covered this one. It's a really upitty song, Sure to be a crowd pleaser.
I have to second INXS 'Never Tear Us Apart.' I think you guys have the sensitivity and power to do it well.
Also, Leonard Cohen's 'Chelsea Hotel' 'Famous Blue Raincoat' or 'Dance Me to the End of Love.' Or 'Are You the One that I've Been Waiting For?' by Nick Cave.
I love how informal they are! I'm certainly not saying they're trash it's just, their music videos aren't extra serious, they don't try too hard for the rock look (they twisted it to make it work for them! especially Anna.) and they're hilarious! Anyways, how about Hurt by the Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash? Seems right up your alley!
My dream covers for you guys.....I think that they would work well with your vibe. Dramarama..."Anything, Anything and new order/Joy Division...Ceremony.
My first vote is still for anything by The Weakerthans, but This Modern Love - Bloc Party or one of the singer's solo songs, Everything You Wanted - Kele would be really amazing and interesting to hear too!
This was fun. I thought of Airborne when thinking of an old favorite of mine that I have rarely heard: Jackie DeShannon (don't laugh) original version (approx. 1965) of When You Walk in the Room
Really great cover of Kiss Off! This is one of my favorite Violent Femmes songs. I still say you should cover Our War by Neon Trees or Bullfighter Jacket by Miniature Tigers.
Great Cover.... LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH and I vote for I dont wanna grow up- The Ramones or Should I stay or Should I go- The Clash for your next cover.
That little smile of Mikel's appears yet again. I love this cover and it'd be great to see either "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead, "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers( if for no other reason than to see how awesomely you'd tweak it.), or "ways and means" by Snow Patrol. Can't wait to see you guys in Chicago!
I wanted you guys to do the Smiths. But This is one of my fav songs ever!! Can't wait to see you in San Fran, I've missed you since Sac. (I'm going the 1st night.I got presale, and the fillmore is going to give me somewhere to sit because of my R.A. YAY). It's so awesome they added a second show!! You guys are going to take over the world!!!
@strayerd I can't believe you guys actually played the Smiths. I was the crazy fan screaming on the side of the room by the tables. You guys are so awesome. Thank you so much you guys have done for us fans. xoxo, Nicole
