“Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” by Arcade Fire // Acoustic & Live via WBEZ Sound Opinions
Arcade Fire performed a couple of in studio tracks for Sound Opinions, which resulted in some new arrangements. Including this synth-free take on live favorite, “Sprawl II”. This one sounds pretty similar, but the changes are still interesting. . Check out the strings-filled version of “We Used to Wait” at WBEZ.

BOB DYLAN // COVERED
Here you will find a collection of covers from Dylan’s catalog as performed by indie and alternative artists from the past couple of decades. Now, I know everyone is going to have one million and one comments as to what I left off or forgot, and I assure you that I’m aware that Dylan is one of the most oft-covered (if not THE most) artist of all time and that there are hundreds of beautiful covers stemming back to the days when the originals were written. I tried instead to source out some of my favorite recent covers by modern artists, while not sticking too tightly to any one tribute album (and there are several) or source. Naturally, in addition to all of the recent selections, I had to include my overall favorite Dylan cover of all time because it’s not immediately well known, and that track is “Baby Blue” by the Thirteenth Floor Elevators (rumored to be one of Dylan’s favorites as well).
So without further ado, here are classic songs by Bob Dylan as re-interpreted by various artists over the years.

John Stamos in a Low video: Now, maybe we’re not giving the former “Full House” star and recurring “Glee” character enough credit, but we wouldn’t have pinned him as a Low fan. He’s a little too chipper and not-low-key to be an acolyte of the Low motif, which is moody and atmospheric. Some hack music critics might call their motif “slowcore,” even. But here he is. In a Low video called “Try To Sleep.” Nice follow-up from “Kokomo,” brah.
even better than the dinosaur promo video.
