Alrighty friends, today's addition of cool tracks are in! Today I wanted to do some covers I thought were pulled off impressively taking into consideration how good the originals were. Thinking back Technotronic may be the reason I love electronica to this day. Pump up the Jam on Jock Jams may have been stuck on repeat a few times while I was getting pumped for anything that needed getting pumped for.
So we will start with a cover by a Canadian gypsy jazz band out of Montreal, The Lost Fingers. They take pump up the jam and definitly give it a new face, yet keeping it surprisingly still.... Well, Jammin'.
Pump Up The Jam (Technotronic) - Covered by The Lost Fingers
Don't really know much about Metric, but they are getting more and more popular popping up on blogs everywhere, and this song has been stuck in my head for days. A cover of Don't Think Twice It's All Right by Bob Dylan. Definitely not the music I am usually into but this track is just addicting. They have been out for seven years and every album has gotten rave reviews.

Le Peste, I think it means the plague in french, but its been a while. I do know however that they were a punk band a while back, and a cool metal band did a cover. Death From Above 1979 is also half of MSTRKRFT and they are the coolest, so by default Death From Above 1979 pretty awesome. And yeah, I would call it danceable, if you like that kind of dancing...
