We've Got It Covered #19

The weeks really do feel like they're flying in at the moment, honestly it feels as if I just drafted up my last We've Got It Covered post a couple of days ago. Not that I am complaining, as I do like sharing these wee gems with you all, this week we have Scottish indie royalty covering the queen of pop - actually is she still the queen or has that Gaga lady stolen her crown? or are we still not sure if she's got a cock? And on that note, here's the Fannies.....

Teenage Fanclub -Like A Virgin (Madonna cover)

Murder Mystery
Some times things pop into my inbox that just make my day that little but more sunny. This week I got an email from New York indie pop/rock group Murder Mystery, who wanted to point me in the direction of a couple of free downloads that they had just posted on their website.

We've Got It Covered #2

This is the the cover that I had planned to start this weekly post with, then at the last minute I got sent that Adam Stafford cover which was too good not to share. Anyway, I'll start rambling about last week and get on with this weeks cover version which comes from '17-Seconds' very own X-Lion Tamer. A while back he was in doing a session for Vic Galloway, which included him covering 'Starsign' by Teenage Fan Club. A cracking version it was too, enjoy....

Teenage Fanclub announced for the Outsider Festival

Teenage Fanclub, have been announced as the other headline act for The Outsider Festival at the end of June. Personally i think they'd be perfect in that slot, certainly a lot more exciting than the bird from Texas.

Backed by a band which included an array of indie royalty including Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, Scout Niblett, James McNew of Yo La Tengo, Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair of Half Japanese.
