Welcome To The Gayborhood Pt. 3


Two months later and I'm finally getting around to finishing this post. No excuses except enjoying the summer (post on that later, and by later I mean sooner rather than later) and spending less time in front of computers outside of work, hopefully some of you missed me. There are still a few more Pride celebrations in this neck of the woods over the next few weekends including Jersey City and the Bronx (my birthplace for those that are keeping tabs) so I figured it's still okay to continue posting in this direction before moving on to anything else.

As previously noted this time we shall focus on artists covering songs by queer artists or bands that have queer musicians in them.

Black Kids "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" (Sophie B Hawkins Cover)
Ash "I Don't Mind" (Buzzcocks Cover)
Bright Eyes "Papa Was A Rodeo" (Magnetic Fields Cover)
The Blow Monkeys "You Don't Own Me" (Lesley Gore Cover)
Colin Meloy "Everyday Is Like Sunday" (Morrissey Cover)
Adele "Black And Gold" (Live Sam Sparro Cover)
Cat Power "Wild Is The Wind" (Johnny Mathis Cover)
JJ72 "It's A Sin" (Pet Shop Boys Cover)
Boy Least Likely To "Faith" (George Michael Cover)
Be Your Own Pet "Bicycle Race" (Queen Cover)
My Morning Jacket "Rocket Man" (Elton John Cover)
Violent Femmes "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" (Culture Club Cover)
The Broken West "Back In Your Head" (Live Tegan and Sara Cover)
Deborah Harry & Iggy Pop "Well Did You Evah!" (Cole Porter Cover)
Lightspeed Champion "Souvenirs" (Patrick Wolf Cover)
Shout Out Louds "Man On The Moon" (REM Cover)
Wheatus "A Little Respect" (Erasure Cover)
Xiu Xiu "Fast Car" (Tracy Chapman Cover)

I have to add Kelly Hogan's cover of "Papa Was a Rodeo" by the Magnetic Fields. :)

This has been a great feature - thanks for putting it together.
