Jeppe – Johhny Come Home (Fine Young Cannibals cover)

Jeppe

Just found my new love, it’s Jeppe Laursen.   Jeppe Laursen was one half of Junior Senior (the other half being, Jesper Mortensen), who scored a huge hit with “Move Your Feet“.   Late 2008, both members called it quits to pursue solo ventures.   And the first effort for Jeppe was this   cover of Fine Young Cannibals’ ‘Johnny Come Home’.   Jeppe recently also lent his voice to Classixx’s track called “I’ll Get You”.   Looking forward to Jeppe’s 2010 releases!   Warning — Shameless Plug: Jeppe, in case you’re reading this, would love to hear your voice on a track of mine — listen here for a taste of my work: http://www.thesixtyone.com/theoddyear/

Jeppe – Big Boy

Classixx – I’ll Get You (Ft. Jeppe)

Classixx – I’ll Get You (Ft. Jeppe)   Coulson Remix

Slightly off topic was a tweet from Jeppe that “Kelis’ Accapella is so Andy Bell (of Erasure) it cracks me up”.   Sure enough, Jeppe is spot on.   Not really a Kelis fan, but this track I’m actually feeling.

Kelis – Accapella


Taken By Trees – My Boys (Animal Collective cover)

I would love to do a remix of this cover.  This is a cover of an Animal Collective track called, “My Girls”.  Taken by Trees is the moniker used by Victoria Bergsman, whom you might  recognize  as the voice from Peter Bjorn and John’s, “Young Folks”.  The  instrumentation  on this track reminds me of Vampire Weekend.

lyrics:
There isn’t much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house
I don’t care for fancy things
Or to take part in the freshest wave,
But to provide for mine who ask
I will, with heart, on my father’s grave
On my father’s grave
(On your father’s grave)
I don’t mean to seem like I
Care about material things,
Like a social status,
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my boys
