As I am busy combing through the last 12 months of music and shows trying to figure out to fit this fantastic year of music into a respectable recap I thought I would give you a few of the delicious covers that I've discovered lately. So dig in, listen carefully and enjoy. Dynamite (Taio Cruz Cover) - Sarah Winters Go (Daniel Johnston cover) - Sparkelhorse + Flaming Lips The Wrote [...]
Sarah Winters unveils a hidden beauty in Taio Cruz's mega-hit "Dynamite."

On stage and in her recordings, Sarah Winters captivates her audience with her intimate melodies. She is venturesome vocally, using unusual ornamental phrasing and lyrics that are based on painfully honest and painfully intimate true stories from relationships past. The piano offers simple patterned parts and the cello, played by Baylen Wagner , acts as bass, guitar, and backup vocalist all at once. Kristopher Schoen uses intricate drum grooves partially inspired by hip hop. Sarah is shy on stage but is known for making up for it with her [...]

I'm aware it's Tuesday, and not Monday. But I had a date with a gorgeous Scrabble hot-shot called Winona last night, and felt it my duty to bring the beauty down to size. Luckily for her, our chosen bar lacked a board, and so the anticipated demolition job never took place.

Sarah's natural timing, melody control, and vocals all culminated together in the homegrown video I viewed, where she modestly takes her place at a piano and starts building something that takes on a life of its own, transcending the amateur-grade medium. There's something special going on here, and it will be interesting to watch the musical development take root over the next handful of years. [...]
![[MP3] Sarah Winters: "Not Mine"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2543198_lg.jpg)
Sarah Winters is, perhaps, the definition of what I expect out of a folk songstress from Minnesota. Her name matches the state's weather fairly well (sorry Minnesotans!) along with her music, which is mostly chilling. The first single, "Not Mine", from her debut album, Smallest Bones , has a dark demeanor, using precarious cello and thumping keys alongside a raspy voice just begging for evil. But you can hear the prettiness behind it all, especially during the horn-laden interlude at 1:30, when Winters lays off a bit and delivers her most sincere vocals, showing off [...]
