"All I Really Want to Do" is a song written by Bob Dylan and featured on his #TomWilson-#produced 1964 album, #AnotherSideOfBobDylan. It is arguably one of the most #popular songs that Dylan wrote in the period immediately after he abandoned topical songwriting. Within a year of its release on Another Side of Bob Dylan, it had also become one of Dylan's most familiar songs to pop and #rock audiences, due to hit #coverVersions by #Cher and #theByrds.

Just woke up to local radio playing a new cover of Merry Xmas Everybody and… what the hell has she done to poor Noddy's Christmas classic?!

My wife said it's supposed to sound like kids running around and having fun on Christmas day, but she's turned it into the mum stuck in the kitchen making Christmas dinner and already on her second bottle of wine!

Musical Interlude: While on our little field trip, the boss and I started talking about interesting cover versions of popular songs (our conversation strays alllll over the place) and I played this for him. He was amused...it takes an ultra-famous song from the 90s and interprets it in an entirely new way....and it works, astonishingly well.

"Oelle como espiritu adolescente (Smells Like Teen Spirit)," performed by the Mandragora Tango Orchestra.

Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight Festival.

I know I've posted this more than once before, but bear with me - his "All Along The Watchtower" is one of those covers that really is better than the original.

Ich habe heute meine erste Radio-Sendung produziert, die nicht für das #Radio war. Quasi #Homebrew, direkt für #Mixcloud. Es ist ein kleiner Testlauf, technisch und vom Klang noch nicht ganz ausgereift. Eine Sendung mit #Cover-Versionen.

Ihr findet sie hier 🎧 https://www.mixcloud.com/marcrodrigues/offairspace-worry-not-ive-got-you-covered-part-1-30-mai-2024/

Eine detailliertere Playlist verlinke ich Euch in den Kommentaren. Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit.

Tom Waits - Roxanne / Tango (Police cover)
I like cover versions a lot, especially if they are radically different from the original. Here is a cover version of Police's song "Roxanne" arranged as a tango by the unimitable Tom Waits.

Siouxsie And The Banshees -- Dear Prudence

Not only does this cover sound great, but the 1983 MV has its own period charm.

Drinking Stockyard Oatmeal Stout; I picked up a six pack at Trader Joe's for $6.99 and it's surprisingly good.
