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.

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:

Timbaland illegally samples Crystal Castles?!

A reader brought it to our attention that hip hop producer Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley may have in fact illegally sampled Crystal Castles and used the material on 50 Cent’s latest single “She Wants It” featuring Justin Timberlake.

50 Cent – She Wants It

The Crystal Castles track which is believed to be sampled is an un-released song called “Courtship Dating”. Here is a clip of the Canadian duo performing it live in London in March of this year.

Crystal Castles – Courtship Dating

What do you guys think? Most people would say why would a mutli-million dollar producer sample from some low level indie-act. But, Timbaland has been introuble for sampling chiptune bands before. In 2006 he produced Nelly Furtado’s Album ‘Loose’ with the song ‘Do It ‘ on it which was ‘alleged’ to be stolen from Finnish producer Janne Suni. Timbaland adamantly denies sampling the musician, but this side by side comparison is pretty detrimental to his case.

Side by side comparison of Nelly Furtado’s ‘Do It’ vs Janne Suni’s ‘Acid Jazzed Evening’

Timabo went on a radio show where he was asked about the accusations and he explains his definition of ’stealing’ and ’sampling’. It’s pretty funny, check that out here. You could get lost for days in the amount of information and articles on the previous plagiarism charge, but this wikipedia article sums it up pretty well.
