Bawley (Hearts) 2014: Top 5 Covers of 2014

5. Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox - No Diggity (Blackstreet)

Scott Bradlee spent 2014 creating viral videos. With Postmodern Jukebox he creates jazz club versions of pop songs. Some are good, many terrible. No Diggity is always good (here). See them all. 

4. Flaming lips feat Miley Cyrus & Moby - Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds (The Beatles)

This is the highlight from Flaming Lips guest filled version of Sgt Peppers (here).

3. Dinosaur Jr - Fade Into You (Mazzy Star)

The Mazzy Star original is just about the cruisiest song ever. The Dinosaur Jr version is faithful to the original and I love it (here). 

2. The Smith Street Band - History Eraser (Courtney Barnett)

The Smith Street Band are great and Courtney Barnett songs are brilliant. This cover done for triple j like version (here).

1. Courtney Barnett - Cannonball (The Breeders)

Today's 'slacker hero' takes on a 90's classic. Pretty much perfect.

Check, check, one two, one two

5. Elmo - I'm Elmo and I Know It (LMFAO)

Kids look at these crayons. The little red Muppet shakes his fur all over the LMFAO's hit. This is what YouTube  was made for.  (link)

4. Deep Sea Arcade - Let Forever Be (The Chemical Brothers) 

Like a Version is pretty much the best thing on triple j breakfast these days. On this Friday morning Deep Sea Arcade turned up and played a near perfect version of this Chemical Brothers classic. (link)

3. Chet Faker  - No Diggity (Blackstreet) 

Blackstreet's No Diggity has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. This Chet Faker version gives the song and me more cred.  It has also given me a great excuse to pull on the white overalls and watch the original song's classic 90's world film clip. (link)

2. The Darkness - Street Spirit (Radiohead) 

The Darkness have been playing this one live for a few years it finally got a recorded release on their comeback album Hot Cakes. Yes is every bit as over the tip as you would imagine. (link)

1. Alt-J (∆) - Still D.R.E. / Slow (Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg / Kylie Minogue) 

'We've taken the instrumental from Still D.R.E. by Dr D.R.E and Snoop Dogg and over the top we are going to be singing Slow by Kylie Minogue' 

Mind = Blown.
