It’s time for the return of Version Control, the occasional gathering of music as interpreted by someone other than the artists that wrote the song or made it famous. You know, covers. After the notorious Cover Drought of 2023, we have a full episode of covers ranging from the obscure to the revolutionary.
A third installment of Version Control, our semi-regular exploration of tribute and imitation.
Magic is in the air, so we are starting most appropriately with Boom Pam and their take on Steve Miller’s “Abracadabra,” herein entitled “Alakazam.” It only got more magical from there with new music from Nick Cave, Fake Fruit, and Los Bitchos, all of whom are presently on desktop rotation. Next week: a special Fund Drive show.
All hail new royalty King Hannah and their studious and efficient delivery.
Barry Adamson delivers soundtracks to cinematic masterpieces that don’t exist.
Mestizo Beat is cooking with lots of spices and high heat.
