Something Kinda Ooooh

Ooooh... That's the monosyllabic mush my vocabulary turns into when I hear myself a fun cover song. Bloc Party does just that with this live lounge version of UK's neo-Spice Girls' (Girls Aloud) hit song. White Lies is probably on here just so I can have another excuse to talk about 'em. And First Aid Kit drives it home with a phenomenal cover of one of last year's indie favorites. The vocals are melodic, but just offputting enough to echo the folksy, raw feel of the original. So quality it'll make you forget it's not one of their own.

Bloc Party - Call the Shots (Girls Aloud Cover) [mp3]
White Lies - Love Lockdown (Kanye West Cover) [mp3]
First Aid Kit - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Fleet Foxes Cover) [mp3]

So apparently when they had the auditions for Girls Aloud qualification number one was "Supermodel who must look good in black kitten heals."
