Undercover (Noise) 2

A continuation of the Undercover series and the the noise/industrial series. As stated before in part one, this was a cassette originally before this pick was transformed into a CD and then this playlist. Covers here include a cover of Throbbing Gristle (already an industrial band) but pared with a Righteous Brothers hit to make this twofer medley. And then also TG doing their own cover of a song that Frank Sinatra made famous. I like that there is a cover of Sisters Of Mercy followed by Sisters Of Mercy doing a Hot Chocolate cover. Cracks me up every time. A couple more disco songs (Abba and Carl Douglas), Pink Floyd, Olivia Newton-John and more round off this side two. Make sure you get side one.

Undercover (Noise) 1

More of the Undercover series. Again this pick was first a cassette. Side one will posted today. You can tell that I like cover versions of different songs. Less tracks today because the songs are longer. I call this (Noise) but it could have been (Industrial). I suppose it is both industrial and noise. Some totally cool tracks here in this pick. A few that are better than the originals and most all of them are totally different from the originals.

Undercover (Punk) 2

This is side two of the Undercover (Punk) series. This pick was the other side of the cassette. And like side 1 is all cover versions done in the punk style, by mostly punk bands. Covers of Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Sweet, Grateful Dead, even the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song. You can't get better versions than these. I have another covers series that does all disco songs (A Life Of Vice) that has a few songs that could have made it on to this series, but I tried not to repeat.

Undercover (Punk) 1

This series started as a cassette. This was side 1. All covers by punk bands. Punk covers of a variety of songs. There are a million of them and so this pick was just my favorites of the ones that I owned. The title was a play on the show Undercover Boss. Which has nothing to do with the content. But my mind works in mysterious ways. I made that connection somehow. There was one song that I was looking for (and still do not have, so if you know how I can get it, comment below) and that's by the band SVDB and the Theme From Courtship of Eddie's Father (Best Friend). Which is a band that featured Brandon Cruz (Eddie) on vocals.
