"It Takes Two" by Ami Kozak

 

Ami Kozak (from Los Angeles, California indie trio Distant Cousins) busts out the looper on his remake of "It Takes Two," a 1988 jam from New York City hip-hopper Rob Base. 

Rest easy, Mr. Base.  You may not have been internationally known, but you were known to rock a microphone.

"Tongue Tied" by Fridays Off

 

Brand spankin' new college cover band Fridays Off cover "Tongue Tied," a 2011 electropop single from Los Angeles, California alternative dance band Grouplove.

It's not the most polished cover song, sure.... but according to this video, the band's been together for roughly a month.  For one of their first shows, this ain't too shabby.

Plus, the audience seems like they've had enough Miller Lite (or Shiner Bock) to not exactly care all that much.

For a cover by Grouplove, their version of "Spiderhead" can be found here.

"Walk" by Kilgore

 

Providence, Rhode Island sludge group Kilgore cover "Walk," a 1991 vulgar display of groove metal from Austin, Texas thrashers Pantera.

The video features some professional wrestlers and a gal in shiny pink pleather.

Re. Spect.

For a cover by Pantera, their version of "Cat Scratch Fever" can be found here.
