"In the Aeroplane over the Sea" by Eisley


 

Tyler, Texas indie pop band Eisley cover "In the Aeroplane over the Sea," a 1998 release from Ruston, Louisiana low-fi folk group Neutral Milk Hotel.

Speaking of aeroplanes over the sea, the most incompetent and corrupt administration in the history of this country has begun releasing classified materials from the Earhart files.

Cool, cool.... but not the file under "E" that we're collectively waiting for.

Release the full, unredacted files, jackholes.

"Bette Davis Eyes" by Crash Test Dummies

 


Winnipeg, Canada alternative folk band Crash Test Dummies perform a live acoustic rendition of "Bette Davis Eyes," the definitive version of which was released in 1981 by Los Angeles, California pop artist Kim Carnes.

This essay from film critic and historian Farran Nehme starts with a quote from Hertfordshire, UK journalist and novelist Graham Greene regarding Bette's fabled peepers.

For a cover of Crash Test Dummies, the Papik version of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" can be found here.

"Devil in Disguise" by Aeseaes

 


Austin, Texas dream folk duo Aeseaes cover "Devil in Disguise," a 2025 release from anonymous internet sensation Marino.

I suspect that Marino operates out of New York City, as the official video for the song stars Miranda Neuhaus and Devin Bonomo, two actors who hail from the Big Apple.
