Elseblogging:
Unplugged Alt-rock at Audiography



Just put up a post of substance over at long-standing "collaborative music blog" Audiography, where this week's theme is "unplugged". Head on over for some powerful acoustic versions of pop songs performed solo (or almost-solo) by their original lead singers, plus a growing list of this week's contributions from others in the community.

Want a teaser or two? Here's a song that's worth posting twice, by unplugged alt-grunge leader of the Lemonheads. It's not folk, but it sure sounds like it.


Other unplugged re-cuts over at Audiography? Jeff Tweedy's live version of I'm The Man Who Loves You, Neil Finn's stripped down recovery of Don't Dream It's Over, Depeche Mode covering Johnny Cash covering Depeche Mode, and the boys of Death Cab For Cutie with a great acoustic Crooked Teeth.

Today's bonus folkcoversong & unplugged version (not available at Audiography):


Back Sunday for another massive paean to the best covers of the folkworld. Enjoy the weekend!

These are, like always, great tracks! I've been loving your summaries and your selection alike. I'm a fan of the blog.

I do have a question, though. Is that really Rose Polenzani on "Soul Meets Body"? No matter how many times I listen to it, it: 1) sounds like a male voice; 2) specifically, the singer of the original version.

Whoops! Good call, Bell! I accidentally put the unplugged version of that song up instead of the cover version I intended. (over 200 downloads later, someone noticed!)

Post has now been updated to include both. And correctly labeled, too!

Okay, whew! I thought that maybe I was going crazy. :)

I'm so glad to find this version! Soul Meets Body is my favorite DCFC song, and I love Rose Polenzani. The combination is just as good as I would hope.

To be a adroit benign being is to from a kind of openness to the mankind, an cleverness to trusteeship unsure things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely exceptionally circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably outstanding thither the fettle of the righteous passion: that it is based on a trust in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a prize, something fairly tenuous, but whose extremely precise attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
