Faked Potatoes Mixcast No. 023
Mixcast No. 023 doesn’t have any Floyd on it, I hope the cover isn’t misleading. The cover does make sense however, from a certain perspective, as we revisit the concept of covers this Mixcast! Yes, back for our second Mixcast of covers (I told you so!) since I maintained a considerable amount of tracks covered by great artists that I needed to share.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of covers, they’re a polarizing concept… some people love them, some people don’t. Whether a cover artist feels the need to lay down their own version for money, street cred, or a legitimate need to cover a song that means something very special to them, these songs find their way into our consciousness and coerce us to alter our pre-conceived perceptions about what a ‘classic song’ is, if only for a moment. Artists featured this Mixcast are:
- Everywhere by Vampire Weekend (Fleetwood Mac)
- Falling in Love by Sambassadeur (Dennis Wilson)
- These Days by St. Vincent (Nico)
- Maps by Rogue Wave (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
- Postcards From Italy by Florence + The Machine (Beirut)
- Grow Old With Me by The Postal Service (John Lennon)
- The Scientist by Johnette Napolitano & Danny Lohner (Coldplay)
- It’s Not Over Yet by Goldfrapp (Grace)
