THE CURE // COVERED Here is the previously mentioned covers compilation featuring the music of The Cure. Lots of lesser known artists mixed in this time around because quite frankly, they were the best. Also, I wasn’t about to include 40 different versions of “Lovesong”, so the only duplicate tracks included are two very different takes on “Boys Don’t Cry”. Are there some covers that I missed - sure. Most of those were instances of choosing who I felt covered a particular track the best. So without further ado, here are classic songs by The Cure as re-interpreted by artists over the years. Playlist (click the band name for more info on the band): The Submarines - Boys Don’t Cry Alkaline Trio - Exploding Boy Britt Daniel (Spoon) - 10:15 Saturday Night (live) The Casket Lottery - Six Different Ways The Smashing Pumpkins - A Night Like This (James Iha version) Dean & Britta - Friday I’m In Love The Dandy Warhols - Primary The Rosebuds - The Walk OK Go - The Lovecats Editors - Lullaby Bat for Lashes - A Forest A.P. Witomski - Seventeen Seconds Elk City - Close to Me Elizabeth Harper & the Matinee - Pictures of You Devics - Catch Pandit - Just Like Heaven Grant Lee Phillips - Boys Don’t Cry The Big Pink - Lovesong Trespassers William - Let’s Go to Bed (Disinterested Mix) Snow and Voices - Disintegration  (download) The Cure // Covered ( MF | MU ) (stream) Entire Mix @ 8tracks (follow PerfectMidnightWorld for more musicrelated posts like this) Please support the artists that you find and enjoy. Buy their music, merchandise and tickets to see their shows. Supporting them is the only purpose in doing this blog. Contrary to the opinions of some, music blogs are a great way to discover new music, but there will only be so much new music to go around if these artists can’t afford to support themselves through their art and commerce.

Snow & Voices - Disintegration (The Cure cover)

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

“Disintegration” by Snow & Voices // Originally by The Cure

In advance of the first episode of my covers podcast, I thought I’d post a single song that will be included in the first show. It’s a recent cover done by Los Angeles dream pop duo, Snow and Voices, and boy is it a good one. The original track is one of my all time favorite songs and it’s a massive track. What struck me about this version that really stood out was that where the original was had a sense of urgency and high emotion tied into the loss, this one seems more resigned to accept the fate of the failed relationship. It’s hard to cover one of the best songs of all time, but Snow and Voices do it justice here by stripping it back and leaving just the lament.
