The Under The Covers column returns! We’ve slowly been collecting more cover songs that run the gamut from awesome to odd to awful. All varieties are worth hearing! Listen in awe or disdainful laughter.

30 Seconds to Mars covers Kanye West’s ‘Stronger’ live on BBC Radio 1. This falls into the laughable category even though frontman Jared Leto delivers the vocals so earnestly. They saved the Daft Punk vocals, so don’t expect any. I’d be rolling if they tried.

MP3: 30 Seconds to Mars – Stronger (Kayne West cover)

Ontario’s hardcore rockers Fucked Up covering Justice’s ‘Stress’ a few months back. Fucking awesome.

File this under fantastic, I first heard do this Pink Floyd cover at last month’s Vegoose festival and was very impressed. Not many groups can come close to a classic, but the The Shins do.

The Lemonheads folk-rock version of Misfits‘ Danzig-era punk classic ‘Skulls’. Fucking ‘ardcore!

And in that same vein, this Zwan (Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame’s 2001-2003 project) cover of Metal gods Iron Maiden on ‘Mark of the Beast’. Probably one of my favorite covers comes at you from the Spun soundtrack.

Next up, Lightspeed Champion covering The Beatles immortal John Lennon. Lightspeed Champion is Devonte Hynes or just “Dev”, formerly of thrash-rap-punk group Test Icicles. Test Icicles remains one of my favorite things ever. I seriously moaned and writhed while morning the death of the Test Icicles last year. But the musicians live on! Dev maintains a blog at TheWorldForgot.com, there he puts up a great many home recordings—quite different from Test Icicles, but great in a whole new way:

Ladytron getting sexy R’n'B’d out covering Tweet’s slut-anthem ‘Oops (Oh My)’. Y’all remember this original? With the Timbaland beat and Missy Elliot doin’ backup vocals? This cover appeared as a b-side on their ‘Evil’ single:

minitel rose Minitel Rose

Minitel Rose is an electro/dance trio hailing from Paris, France and they are card carrying members of Valerie. Valerie is not a blog, but a collective composed of music artists in the west of France. In other words a label, right? No, in an interview with Valerie act College on kidzbycollete the band says that Valerie is not a label, yet. Mostly due to lack of funds. But maybe one day. Could Valerie be the next huge French label? With artists like Minitel Rose, College, Anoraak, The Outrunners & Maethelvin we believe that may be what the future holds.

Check out these remixes by Minitel Rose, including Valerie’s official theme which I can’t stop listening to. Am I trippin’ or is the sample they used in the theme from Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street?

The boys also make their own spaced out dancey tunes. I’ve only come across this lowbitrate track, but it will still make you want to cut a rug in your cubicle.

Cirez D/Eric Prydz.

Call on Me Cirez D/Eric Prydz.

When you think of the name Eric Prydz most likely spandex clad ladies doing pelvic thrusts come to mind. That because of the exciting video that accompanied his 2004 hit “Call on Me” which was an obvious remake of Steve Winwood’s ‘Valerie’. The song was catchy & the video was even catchier which I recommend you watch if you aren’t at work or your mom &/or girlfriend is not home.

Recently Eric remixed Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall” which is titled ‘Proper Education’. Both songs are excellent, the latter even more so. However if that’s all that you’d heard from the Swedish producer you’d think of him as a somewhat chart topping producer, not capable of anything deeper.

Enter Cirez D, one of Eric’s many aliases. Under the name Cirez D he releases more of his dancetastic beats, but a little less poppy & tad bit darker. I picked up the Diamond Girl 12″ from Juno, mainly because of the title which reminded me of Nice ‘n Wild’s “Diamond Girl”. This isn’t a remake of that (although someone should totally redo that) but it is nice a solid track.

Eric Prydz only plays shows in and around Europe. He does not travel to the USA or Asia because he is reportedly scared of flying so all you Yankees are S.O.L. Add Eric on myspace.
