kleavage Tittsworth & Klever: The Kleavage tour begins tonight! Club remixes of Justice, Bell Biv Devoe, Paul McCartney, YoungbloodZ, Purple Ribbon Allstars & Hollywood Holt

The witty-tour award absolutely goes to DC’s Tittsworth and ATL’s Klever, who are kicking off their “Kleavage” tour in Miami tonight. Expect good things from this pair of club smashing turntablists—but I didn’t have to tell you that. You already know this isn’t something to be missed when they roll through your town.

Get amped with these Club knockers: Titts’ re-work of Bell Biv Devoe’s ‘Poison’, and (’cuz ’tis that season again) ‘Titts’mas’ with the sleigh-bells and Paul McCartney’s ‘A Wonderful Christmas Time’ samples. Oh, and that A+ remix of Justice’s ‘D.A.N.C.E.’. We put it up last month, but it’s so good it gets a blog-rewind.


MP3: Tittsworth - Poison


MP3: Tittsworth - Titts’mas


MP3: Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Tittsworth Remix)

Klever is one bad dude! These tracks will sound very familiar if you’ve ever spent a little time on a club dancefloor. We’ve got a re-work of Purple Ribbon Allstars featuring Big Boi (of Outkast) re-branded as ‘Kryptobounce’. We’ve got a so called “VIP mix” of Youngbloodz featuring Lil’ Jon and Pitbull on ‘Don’t Start No Shit’. And, lastly we’ve got a remix of Hollywood Holt’s ‘Caked Up’.


MP3: Klever - Kryptobounce

Under the Covers 3

underthecovers3 Under the Covers 3

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.


MP3: Fucked Up - Stress (Justice cover)

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.


MP3: The Shins - Breathe (Pink Floyd Cover)

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


MP3: The Lemonheads - Skulls (Misfits cover)

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.


MP3: Zwan - Number of the Beast (Iron Maiden cover)

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:


MP3: Lightspeed Champion - Better Off Dead (Elton John cover)

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:


MP3: Ladytron - Oops (Oh My) (Tweet cover)

And, perhaps, saving the best for last, three Radiohead covers of The Smiths, New Order, and Björk in a recent live webcast on their Dead Air Space promoting their newest LP, In Rainbows:


MP3: Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual (The Smiths cover)


MP3: Radiohead - Ceremony (New Order cover)


MP3: Radiohead - Unravel (Bjork cover)

The covers are king sized! We got covers for days so expect more ‘Under the Covers’ posts soon.
