Covers Watch

So I haven't been around these corners much, and Adam has been ably stepping in to provide you with sweet tunes coverage these past few weeks, but I'm determined to return. There may possibly be a Johnny Whopper mixtape in the works, and you should be excited about it, but for now, I have to post this absolutely unbelievable track from Barcelona's Hermanos Calatrava. It's a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," but it turns it into equal parts psych-pop freakout and globalization commentary. It's not new - it's part of Finders Keepers' Absolute Belter comp, but it's every bit as fresh-sounding today as when it was released in 1974.
