Billie Eilish’s debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? came out just one year ago today. It seems like much longer. Her success now spans from Gen Z to boomers; she’s become omnipresent on every channel of the internet while also scoring the old-music-biz coup of sweeping the four top categories of the Grammys – the first person to do so since Christopher Cross in 1981.

Anais Mitchell & The Staves – Strong Enough (Sheryl Crow cover)

For a few years now, long-running French video company La Blogothèque has been filming a series they call “One to One” at Bon Iver’s various European festivals. They blindfold one audience member and bring them into a private room for a concert for one. Bon Iver did one, and Damien Rice’s is a must-watch. Personally, that experience sounds more awkward than enjoyable – especially with all the cameras in your face – so I’d rather just watch someone else’s personal concert on video. This one is a gem, feature The Staves with Anais Mitchell delivering a gorgeously-harmonized Sheryl Crow cover. Continue reading »

Recently, Bully and FIDLAR demonstrated this with a cheery take on “Absolutely Cuckoo,” the opener to the aforementioned triple-album. Continue reading »

When FIDLAR covers a song, you know you are in for a ride. The skate rockers often cover songs in an abrasive, in-your-face manner, but still manage to expose a certain sincerity that often gets lost in overt punk attitudes. Their rendition of Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy,” is no exception. Continue reading »

LA punks FIDLAR are known for their high energy and general “F*** it!” attitude (after all, the band’s motto is F*** It Dog, Life’s A Risk.) The band also seems to have a fascination with Nicks; their recent video for their song “Cocaine” starred Nick Offerman, and they just covered Nick Cave‘s “Red Right Hand,” semi-crediting Nic Cage with this stunning photoshop job of Nic Cage as David Bowie.
