In honor of this past week’s review of She & Him’s Volume Two, I decided to stick with the theme for the Covers Revue. Why, you may ask? Because, dammit, this song is my favorite off the album! I wanted to talk about it so bad in the album review but when I found out …

Covers Revue, Vol. 34 – Marilyn Manson covers "Sweet Dreams" :: Originally by Eurythmics
One of the biggest names in the musical 80’s is the Eurythmics. Annie Lennox and David Stewart (previously of The Tourists) produced some of the biggest hits of the decade, including “Here Comes the Rain Again” and “Would I Lie To You?” but no hit was bigger than “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” This …
Covers Revue, Vol. 33 – The Ataris cover "The Boys of Summer" :: Originally by Don Henley
Since EnterTheShell.com is based in the great city of Los Angeles and Monday was opening day at Dodger Stadium, I decided to pay tribute to one of America’s greatest sports in my own little way. Don Henley’s chart topper “The Boys of Summer” doesn’t really focus on baseball but Henley does sing “My love for …
Covers Revue, Vol. 32 – Sixpence None the Richer covers "There She Goes" :: Originally by The La's
Don’t you just love a good heroin song? Me too! In fact, original artists The La’s released “There She Goes” as their single four times. FOUR TIMES! Wow, talk about love. There’s nothing much to the track, really, but it’s still really catchy and a great listen. The song starts out with a guitar melody …
Covers Revue, Vol. 31 – Bayside covers "Beautiful Girls" :: Originally by Sean Kingston
If you heard this week’s drinkcast, Master Drink Theater, you may remember our conversation about the past week’s Covers Revue. You also may remember that I referred to a cover from the “Pop Goes…” series by one of my favorite bands that I can’t stand. Well, I decided to talk about it in this week’s …
Covers Revue, Vol. 30 – Limbeck covers "I Want it That Way" :: Originally by the Backstreet Boys
Ah, the 90s … The boom of the boy bands. I can truthfully say that I was never into boy bands (I was into REAL rock, like Sugar Ray) but if I had to choose a side, it would definitely be N*Sync. At any rate, there’s no denying the incredible popularity of groups such as …
Covers Revue, Vol. 29 – Red Hot Chili Peppers cover "Love Rollercoaster" :: Originally by The Ohio Players
First of all, let’s acknowledge the fact that this blog is a day late. I apologize to any ETS fans and the ETS staff. Due to some hectic scheduling, I’ve been neglecting my duties as a blogger and editor here at the site. I took a very small break to compose myself and I’m back, …
Covers Revue, Vol. 28 – Starsmith feat. Ellie Goulding cover "Sleepyhead" :: Originally by Passion Pit
All it took was a Valentine’s Day gift to make Passion Pit 2009’s up-and-coming darlings. Yes, you’ve heard (read: read) me talk about them numerous times here on EnterTheShell.com in the form of album reviews (here and here), concert reviews and even a couple of random posts from Mailo and I. Their debut single “Sleepyhead” …
Covers Revue, Vol. 27 – The Used and My Chemical Romance cover "Under Pressure" :: Originally by Queen and David Bowie
One of the greatest collaborations of all time has to be Queen and David Bowie with their recording of “Under Pressure.” Combining one of the biggest bands of the 70s/80s with one of the biggest musicians of the 70s/80s seemed like a good idea at the time … and it still is! The classic is …
Covers Revue, Vol. 26 – Say Anything covers "Got Your Money" :: Originally by Ol' Dirty Bastard (feat. Kelis)
With compilations like Punk Goes Metal and Punk Goes Pop, we have a plethera of covers at our disposal here at EnterTheShell.com. Thanks to Punk Goes Crunk, we have this gem in an Ol’ Dirty Bastard cover. Though I don’t necessarily agree that Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Got Your Money” featuring Kelis should be classified as …
