Dolly Parton & Kris Kristofferson - Me and Bobby McGee What better way to follow up an audio post of someone doing a cover of a Dolly Parton song —a song that most people are probably more familiar with the pre-crack Whitney Houston version than the Dolly original— than by following it up with an audio post of Dolly Parton doing a cover of a Kris Kristofferson song —a song that most people are probably more familiar with the cracking Janis Joplin version than the Kristofferson original.

99 Presents (but a bitch ain't one). Great pun title for a Christmas record, English quartet The Bobby McGee's brought it to life. I'm the first to admit that their cover of Les Poppys 'Non, non rien n'a changé' (for that's what it is) was a bit of a let down. I'd love to hear Jay-Z's 99 Problems reworked. Maybe next year. Devon Press recorded a cover of Tino Rossi's Petit Papa Noël for the Christmasagogo -blog . She remixed it, and I decided to put her very charming version of France's [...]

Enjoy a charming ukulele-heavy take on 'This Love Is Fucking Right!' below. STREAM: The Bobby McGees - L.O.V.E.

Die Single hat gute 3 1/2 Sterne bekommen und das Label wurde auch benannt. "schamlos eingängig, weltumarmend und doch nicht ohne Hintersinn!" ...sagt der Rolling Stone Dabei handelt es sich um [...]
I have a huge space in my heart for indie pop and twee. I don't post about it much since Skatterbrain and Indie MP3 have the genre pretty well covered. But I must share with you a new song from one of my favorite British twee pop bands - The Bobby Mcgee's . I first heard of the band when I stumbled upon their Star Wars song here and it's been love at first sight ever since. The band's new song "L.O.V.E. is available as a 73 single from [...]
Forget your Bings, Slades, Wizzards and Whams Cherryade Records Christmas album 'A Very Cherry Christmas vol. 4!' is out. The label love Christmas so much that they've been releasing an annual Christmas compilation since 2005 and this years is one of their best. It's like a Christmas album beamed in from planet Peel full of tracks that are as far from the mainstream as a child on the naughty list from a present from Santa. This year's compilations is packed with [...]
