Is there another band that’s had every song across their entire discography covered completely by other artists? Impossible to post a single favourite… A classic Beatles tune… This song has been covered 2200 times and they picked one of the best covers… An East Indian band via the UK reclaims the sitar (and the language!)… […]

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”
