6 New Postmodern Jukebox Covers That Need To Be In Your Playlist

Phoenix New Times

Back in June I wrote an article about how much I love Postmodern Jukebox's work. In the last couple months they've only come out with better covers. So here are six new Postmodern Jukebox songs that need to be in your playlist RIGHT NOW.

1. Mr. Brightside (The Killers)

I love this song so much. It is my all time favorite blast in the car song. But I also adore Dean Martin. Best of both worlds? Definitely.

2. Closer (Chainsmokers & Halsey)

This is my *right now* song obsession. The original is so catchy and flawless, but this version really strips it down in a way that I love.

3. Heart of Glass (Blondie)

Not only is this cover great, but the music video is as well! Addie Hamilton is a perfect mix of Jean Harlow, the original bombshell blonde, and Debbie Harry (aka Blondie).

4. MMMbop (Hansen)

I don't know what it is about this song, but it is PERFECT for a Beach Boys/Doo Wop arrangement. I don't know where they find their vocalists, but these guys sound so tight together. I hope to see many a capella covers of this arrangement in the future.

5. Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen)

One of the things I love about PMJ is that they don't limit themselves to Top 40 hits that came out in the last twenty years. One of my other favorite things about PMJ? Von Smith's voice.

6. Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden)

I'm not a fan of the original version of this song. But this arrangement makes this song into a sexy torch song that I can't help but love.

Postmodern Jukebox breathes new life into old songs or plays around with new ones. It's no secret that I love the work they do and can't wait to see more from them as the years go by!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
