Sharon Van Etten covered the Flaming Lips’ song “Do You Realize??” for the final episode of the Amazon Original Series Gortimer Gibbon’s Life On Normal Street. alongside Conor Obert’s cover of Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me,” Andrew Bird’s take on Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me,” and the Avett Brothers’ rendition of “What A Wonderful World.” Van Etten discussed covering the Flaming Lips in a press release:

When I was asked to cover a Flaming Lips song for Gortimer Gibbons, I was really nervous. But when I watched the scene and heard from the people involved in the music, they really wanted to hear my interpretation of both the scene and the song. The show is sweet and smart and family oriented—and that is really important to me. So glad I was able to be a part.

KATY GOODMAN & GRETA MORGAN – “ Bastards Of Young ” (The Replacements Cover)

KATY GOODMAN + GRETA MORGAN | TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS

Katy Goodman of La Sera and Greta Morgan of Springtime Carnivore have teamed up for an album of punk covers entitled Take It, It’s Yours. The LP features the duo’s takes on songs by the Stooges, Blondie, Bad Brains, and a number of other classic outfits. Morgan provided us with some background behind the project’s origin:

The concept of the record began last September when Katy and I were messing around learning Misfits songs on guitar in my backyard. Once we started singing ‘Where Eagles Dare,” we couldn’t stop. Having female voices and girl group harmonies with the lyrics “I ain’t no goddam son of a bitch, you better think about it, baby” felt like a riveting turnaround.
The lead single from Take It, It’s Yours is a cover of The Replacements’ “Bastards Of Young,” the song from which their album title derives its inspiration. Opening not with a tin wire guitar riff but rather a reverb-dipped breeze reminiscent of Real Estate, Goodman and Morgan sweetly sing Paul Westerberg’s opening lines, “God, what a mess, on the ladder of success/ Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung,” as if they actually came from the last Jenny Lewis album. Replacing Westerberg’s guttural throttle with these women’s harmony-driven delivery shifts the original’s mood of dissatisfied confrontation towards one of sardonic defiance. Oddly enough, they omit the “Take it, it’s yours” section of the original.

TOM PETTY MUDCRUTCH – ” Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door ” (Dylan Cover) Boston 15th June 2016 Orlando Shooting Lyrics “

Tom Petty changed the lyrics to the Dylan classic “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando last weekend. You can see it at about the four-minute mark in the fan-filmed clip above.

Petty, performing with his revived pre-Heartbreakers band Mudcrutch, played a version of Dylan’s 1973 song midway through his set last night at the House of Blues in Boston. In the third verse, he notably altered Dylan’s original line of “Ma’, take my guns and put them in the ground.” In the new version, Petty replaced “guns” with “automatic weapons,” a clear reference to the tragic events that unfolded at a gay nightclub in Petty’s home state of Florida.

At least 49 people were killed in the killing rampage, with many others still clinging to life. The incident has sparked a wave of responses from musicians everywhere.

Tom Petty has often a place for the song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” in his concert sets, including recent Mudcrutch stops at New York’s Webster Hall and Philadelphia’s Fillmore – though there have not been reports of any lyrical updates at those shows. Mudcrutch, whose members also include Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench .

Petty and his Heartbreakers memorably toured with Bob Dylan in 1986 as Dylan backing band , just before they co-founded the Travelling Wilburys with George Harrison Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison.

TOM RUSSELL and Friends – ” Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts ” Bob Dylan Cover

Today is Bob Dylan’s 75th birthday, So here the Singer Songwriter Tom Russell covering the song Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts from the album “Blood On The Tracks”  like a mini-folk opera: Eliza Gilkyson plays both Lily and Rosemary, Joe Ely plays Big Jim,  Tom play’s the Jack of Hearts. It’s a real cowboy-mystery song in vaudeville time. Only thing I can figure is that Lily kills big Jim and frames Rosemary, who gets hung for the crime. I get that from the line: “Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair…” Perhaps impersonating Rosemary as she knifed Big Jim – plus she came from a broken home and had a certain flash in her eyes. What’s your take on it? (Lost verse included)…oh well, it was “just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts.”

Tom Russell, Eliza Gilkyson, and Joe Ely cover Bob Dylan. From the 2004 album Indians Cowboys Horses And Dogs

Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts, This song was transferred from a near mint vinyl test pressing of the withdrawn early New York version of Blood On The Tracks. These songs were recorded in New York in 1974. Bob Dylan changed his mind on many solo arrangements, deciding to re-record half of the songs in Minneapolis, Minnesota using a local backing band. also released on a bootleg entitled “Blood On The Tapes.”

Official Music Video for The Flaming Lips’ version of  “Space Oddity”, I’m a massive David Bowie fan, so there was every chance of me hating this. But I’m also a massive Flaming Lips fan  so this trippy, visceral “Space Oddity” cover and fucked up accompanying video – pill-popping, semi-naked nuns and all – gets my seal of approval. Being the King Of Weird, I like to think that it’d get David’s too.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and the E.STREET BAND – ” Purple Rain ” Brooklyn 23rd April 2016

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Friday night at their show at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their show with a tribute to Prince, performing “Purple Rain.”

The Boss wasn’t the only musician to cover Prince since his passing last Thursday. At the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, LCD Soundsystem covered “Controversy,” Ellie Goulding covered “When Doves Cry,” Sufjan Stevens teamed up with Gallant for a cover of “Purple Rain,” and Mavis Staples performed an a cappella version of the song.

Springsteen’s version with Nils Lofgren playing the now classic scorching guitar solo.

R.I.P. Prince
I had to do this video even though the video sources were all pretty bad and I am waiting on at least one proper 4k shoot but I wanted to get this one out. Purple Rain is one of my all time favourite albums. The song played by my favourite artist as a tribute to Prince is very special , Bruce and Prince shared many things. ….Prince and Springsteen have longed been connected, as both artists hit their commercial peaks in the Eighties; Prince’s Purple Rain and Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. arrived within weeks of each other in the summer of 1984.

That is how musicians say goodbye to one another. Prince always said that he thought Bruce Springsteen was a great band leader and someone that he learned from. Like Bruce, Prince expected his band to be talented enough to remember many many songs and be able to “change it up on a dime”. Both of these men appreciated perfection and we were the benefactors of their creations. Thanks for the music Prince. I hope you enjoy this rough mix. An upgraded mix with at least one additional great camera angle in the mix and proper audio coming later we hope.

Prince covering Joni Mitchell’s ” A Case of You “ from an obscure tribute album to Joni. I own no copyrights on this, and I offer it in memory of Prince. for such a beautiful song and a superbly executed cover

Prince made his last purchases at iconic Minneapolis record store the Electric Fetus on Saturday.

The artist had stopped in to support Record Store Day, said Bob Fuchs, the store’s retail music manager.

He bought six CDs, according to Fuchs:

1) Stevie Wonder, “Talking Book”
2) Chambers Brothers, “The Time Has Come”
3) Joni Mitchell, “Hejira”
4) Swan Silvertones, “Inspirational Gospel Classics”
5) Missing Persons, “The Best Of Missing Persons”
6) Santana, “Santana IV”

Fuchs said his store sold out of Prince merchandise in two hours after news broke that Prince had died.

“It’s a lot of sadness today. People coming in, sharing stories, and crying, and talking about their experiences and their love of his music,” Fuchs said. “It’s just kind of been a communal day of grieving at the store here. And celebration I suppose. People were dancing around, playing records, kind of a nonstop Prince fair today.”

The last tweet from Prince was a link to the store’s website on Saturday, where he was selling his Piano & A Microphone concert program.
