Album Jonah Matranga's Random Covers, Vol. 1

Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 2:08 PM

Jonah Matranga of Far and Onelinedrawing fame just released a collection of covers "from over the past few years, done in the depths of all sorts of moods, for all sorts of reasons (or no reason at all)."

The tracklisting goes:

"Say It Ain't So" - Weezer
"These Days" - Nico/Jackson Browne
"That's How Strong My Love Is" - Otis Redding
"How Deep Is Your Love" - Bee Gees
"Chesterfield King" - Jawbreaker
"You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You"
"Heart Of Darkness" - Sparklehorse
"I Still Miss Someone" - Johnny Cash
"Irreplaceable" - Beyoncé
"The National Anthem"

You can get it for $5 via his own music store jTunes. You can also hear his haunting take on Weezer's "Say It Ain't So" for free at his website.

(I'd buy it right now and let you know how it is [I'm dying to hear what he does with that Beyonce song!] but I lost my debit card and had to get a new one and blah blah blah—I'll have to wait 7-10 business days before I can hear it. Someone buy it and tell me it's awesome.)

i love jonah... followed him since far (even through the new end original phase)... and that weezer cover is kinda bad.

Aw shit really? No good on the Weezer jam? No Sade? Well, I'm surprised he isn't covering his own songs on the album.

Yeah it would be funny if Jonah did a cover album of Far, new end original & onelinedrawing. But I guess he already does that with all his other albums.
