Friday, June 26, 2026

New York City barrelhouse artist John Hammond covers "Goin' Back to Florida," a 1959 blues number from Centerville, Texas guitarist and songwriter Lightnin' Hopkins.

Phuket, Thailand kiddie group Ozone serenade the Naka Market with their remake of "Monster," a 2009 hard rock release from Memphis, Tennessee band Skillet.

From the Breathe Better Air website, stubborn cooking odors from burnt food on skillets can be neutralized with an ozone generator.

Singapore based grunge tribute act Dyrt cover "Nearly Lost You," a 1992 release from Ellensburg, Washington alternative band Screaming Trees.

A post on their Facebook page regarding one of their shows advised folk to come out, as pints of Guinness were only $9.90.

Even with the US dollar to Singapore dollar conversion rate..... Yikes on bikes.

Toronto, Canada solo artist Meep Moop plays a stripped-down acoustic version of "Doo Wop (That Thing)," a 1998 hip hop R&B hybrid from East Orange, New Jersey miseducator Lauryn Hill.

For a cover by Lauryn Hill, her version of "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" can be found here.

Birmingham, UK quartet Faded Cadence perform their version of "Falling Slowly," a 2006 single from Dublin, Ireland indie folk band The Swell Season.

To the degree that an indie folk song can "slap," this cover certainly does.

Newark, Delaware band Vanylla Godzylla jam out for the full seven minutes and change on their remake of Jacksonville, Florida Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1974 hit "Free Bird."

Locals, come and see Vanylla Godzylla play today in Smyrna!

For another Skynyrd cover, the Leningrad Cowboys version of "Sweet Home Alabama" can be found here.
