Perry and Death Cab do valentine covers
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 23 January 2009
The likes of Katy Perry and Death Cab For Cutie are amongst artists contributing cover-tracks to a new Starbucks Entertainment Valentines Day compilation set to be released in the US on 30 Jan.
Also appearing on the album are Richard Hawley, AC Newman of New Pornographers (a band I very much like) and Jem, who I had not thought about for a couple of years, but whose tracks I began randomly humming whilst shopping at the Co-op earlier this week.
The album tracklisting (which the band behind the original in brackets, obviously) is:
Death Cab for Cutie – Love Song (The Cure)
Katy Perry – Black and Gold (Sam Sparro )
DeVotchKa – Hot Burrito #1 (I’m Your Toy) (Flying Burrito Brothers)
Department of Eagles – Love Me (Elvis Presley)
Jessica Lea Mayfield – Words of Love (Buddy Holly)
