    Hello! Every Friday I post cover versions in my blog and I'd really appreciate your suggestions. So, if there are any covers (indie, dance, gothic, whatever) that you think I should listen to and/or post in my blog let me know, will you? Cheers!

    Nice selection! I've used all of these covers in my podcasts so far, apart from the Philip Boa one... Actually I've never heard of it so you've given me some homework to do :-) Cheers!

    Yeah, I know them. I'm a big fan of APB and I've seen them live 3 times so far. Check out their take on Suede's Trash from their new LP. It rocks!

    Got almost all of your suggested covers Dan1boy. I couldn't track down Universal Poplab's Brilliant Creatures. I've only got their Morrissey cover, so if you can't send it over I'd really appreciate it :-)

    Tomorrow I'll post I Hate Kate - Major Tom in my blog. It's really a kick ass cover, I've already played it in my radio show! Thanks! I'm waiting for more of your picks :-)

    Cheers!

    Yeah, it's been around for sometime now, when they were still called Lorraine.
    Here are some more covers I dug up the other day from my old hard drive:

    Plastic Noise Experience - Smalltown Boy v2006 (Bronski Beat) -> This is a favorite
    Bowling For Soup - I Ran So Far Away (A Flock Of Seagulls)
    Bellatronica - The Walk (The Cure)
    Eva - Plastic Passion (The Cure)
    Get Well Soon - Born Slippy (Nuxx) (Underworld)
    Hotel Persona - Touch Me (Samantha Fox) -> Hotel Persona are Placebo's Stefan Olsdal sideprojecy

    Check them out. BTW, this Friday I'll post in my blog a bunch of DM covers to celebrate (hmmm) the release of the new album. I'm sure that you have most of them but make sure to have a look in case you're missing anything :-)

    Oh well... I'm still trying to like the new album (it's quite a hard task though). Anyway, if you can't find the Hotel Persona track let me know and I'll send it to you. And thanks for introducing me to The Officers :) They're really good! I also discovered Gran Ronde and Repeater these days, they 're both good.

    PS. Check out the Shiny Toy Guns cover of Major Tom. Not as good as I Hate Kate's but stil...

    I like Gran Ronde...but as far as L.A. based bands go, my favorites are: Mighty Six Ninety, Test Your Reflex and Moving Units by a long long mile :))

    Yeah, heard that lackluster cover of MT that STG did...boring as hell...thank g-d it was a free dl.

    I checked out Repeater per your reco...good stuff man, keep it coming!

    Regarding LA Bands, I've made posts in my blog about both M690 and Moving Units... Actually the M690 was featured in my top10 albums of the year.

    But Test Your Reflex? Haven't heard of them... until now! I'm listening now to their album and I'm really impressed. I guess I have to make yet another post in my blog :-) And then get back to work and finish my new mashup. It's Tenek vs. David Guetta vs. UNKLE. I hope you'll like it :-)
