So some anonymous bros are recording covers of pop songs in imitation of Fleet Foxes? Why? I have no idea, but I love it. Like, whoever had this idea and executed it would probably really fun to hang out with at a party, is what I’m saying. Three beers in and they’re like, “let’s get our falsettos on and sing Rihanna in the style of Robin Pecknold.” They even managed to fool Robyn with what is actually a pretty great cover of “Dancing on My Own.”
Anyway, the future is weird and we live in it.
One of my few goals right now is to do a cover of the Wrens’ “Ex-Girl Collection*” in the style of Sleater-Kinney. I am serious about this, but I also have to develop some kind of musical ability first, so if someone wants to steal that idea and make it for me, by all means go ahead.
*My relationship with this song is the most complicated of all my relationships with songs.
