“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.

This sexy video for The Weeknd’s What You Need puts an interesting spin on the song’s lyrics. We’re down.

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.
PLAYLIST: (individual tracks have links, full mixtape link at bottom)
the thirteenth floor elevators - BABY BLUE
wilco and fleet foxes - I SHALL BE RELEASED
the morning benders - OUTLAW BLUES
the black keys - THE WICKED MESSENGER
the walkmen - SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES
cat power - STUCK INSIDE MOBILE WITH THE MEMPHIS BLUES AGAIN
metric - DON’T THINK TWICE, IT’S ALRIGHT
phoenix - SAD EYED LADY OF THE LOWLANDS
marissa nadler - YOU’RE GONNA MAKE ME LONESOME WHEN YOU GO
asobi seksu - BOB DYLAN’S 115TH DREAM
atlas sound - THIS WHEEL’S ON FIRE
robin pecknold - IT AIN’T ME, BABE
sufjan stevens - RING THEM BELLS
castanets - MAGGIE’S FARM
the helio sequence - MR. TAMBOURINE MAN
yo la tengo - FOURTH TIME AROUND
mason jennings - THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’
dm stith - GATES OF EDEN
crystal antlers - IT’S ALL OVER NOW, BABY BLUE
dirty projectors - DARK EYES
antony & the johnsons - KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVENS DOOR
the secret machines - GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY

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.
