Here we go again...another fabulous cover tune by Mike Tompkins. He's very adept at his overdubbing craft! Maybe I'm just smitten because they didn't have this cool technology when I was listening to the cool, popular songs of my teen years! Anyway, enjoy this cover of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele and Happy Friday!

Fab Friday 2/17
Speaking of cover tunes...these guys got lots of press when Glee featured them in last year's MJ episode. There are several talented performers out there that have covered Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", but I like how this is off the beaten path.

Fab Friday 2/10
Remember Nick Pitera and his One Man Disney video? This is FreddeGredde... Same vein of using technology to duplicate and harmonize. Fredde is from Sweden and this cover of "Killer Queen" is pretty fun to behold!
For February, I'll try to highlight clips that are covers of existing songs. Since most of my classes are touching on the roots of, techniques for, and careers relating to popular music, covers are a fun way to witness the love affair we have with pop classics.
