I’m late posting my July Mix of covers… Although I appear to also be the first to post. I guess summer in Seattle gets busy for folks…

2. Bigmouth Strikes Again—Placebo (The Smiths)
3. Street Spirit—The Darkness (Radiohead)

5. Indian Summer—Luna (Beat Happening)
6. Romeo And Juliet—The Killers (Dire Straits)

8. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa—Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel (Vampire Weekend)
9. Here Comes the Sun—Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel (The Beatles)

I didn’t follow my own suggestion of making a CD with the originals, because I’m missing some (my collection tends to be spotty with classics, like I’m missing those Bob Dylan and Stones and Beatles songs). What can I say, you can’t always get what you want.
*The Venus in Furs is a band that was made just for the movie Velvet Goldmine…
