Out of Print is a cool business that sells T-shirts and other fashion staples featuring vintage book cover designs. Now, they are branching out into the realm of tablet covers and funding that endeavor through Kickstarter. This project, which seems like a no-brainer, will use the oldest book binder in the country and an MIT [...]
Here’s Slick Willie crushing a cover of M83′s “Midnight City” back on the Arsenio Hall Show in 1992. I’m almost a bit surprised this hasn’t been done before, but here’s to hoping Slick Willie covering random sax songs becomes a thing. God bless you Internet. [via kottke]
CDZA reimagines Kanye and Jay-Z’s “Ni**as in Paris” as “Pianists in Paris.” You may remember these guys from the history of whistling in pop music. [via DailyWhat]
It might not be as great as The Boss’ cover of “The Weight”, but it’s a nice tribute to MCA on the day he died by Coldplay. /Fuck Cancer. [via reddit]
This cover of the Carly Simon classic “You’re So Vain” by Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp is a bonus track on Manson’s forthcoming, album Born Villain.

I guess this is really only something that would interest people who unironically enjoy A) Bon Iver and B) Bon Jovi. Basically, it’s straight hipster porn. [via PCB]
Kelly Clarkson performed a cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” at the 125th anniversary Coca-Cola celebration at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday, May 7, 2011. Not sure how I missed this way back in May, but as my friend Paul recently said, “Kelly Clarkson is the best thing that ever came out of [...]
The Flaming Lips take The Beatles’ “I Am the Walrus” out for a spin and it makes a lot of sense. It’s always been one of the stranger Beatles tunes and Wayne Coyne and Co. make it sound like one of their own strange tales. Perfect band choosing the perfect material to cover. What more [...]
Here is a video of golfer John Daly wearing white pants and an American flag sports coat and performing Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” in Thailand for guests of the Thailand Golf Championship. He was clean, sober, and yes, your guess is as good as mine. [via theawl]
