METHOD TO THE MADNESS/COVER2COVER – Mostly Covers Vol. 2: Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself
(Soundcloud and Mixcloud links to the mix, respectively)
This Method To The Madness post is going to be a bit different from me. Since the majority of this DJ mix is based around covers, it seems only fair to have count as a COVER2COVER entry as well! Two for the price of one! But be prepared: this is going to be a massive post, as I will try to post links to the originals to hopefully give you better context for some of the songs you may not be familiar with.
COVER2COVER: Lord Echo – Thinking of You (2010)
This song to me, represents a perfect cover. A perfect cover respects its source material enough to pay homage to it but at the same time reinterprets it enough to make its own.
