and every summer Lissie comes back to me

As soon as it gets hot – and its 37 degrees today in Berlin, Lissie instantly pops back up on my headphones, her smooth, enchanting folky, country music is made for the good weather and thats one but not the only reason she is featured on my new Sweet Serenade Mixtape, out in July. If your not one of Lissie 100k facebook fans, you probably dont have her 2010 album “Catching a Tiger” either… but you should!  Here are two of my favourite pieces which have been all over blogland for the past 10 months or so.Beautiful music, and just perfect for a hot day at the lake..

Killing in the name of… RATM covers

I. the first version was sent to me by one of our readers, and its quite a great one submitted by Alexis Maizel and heres what he wrote: “I enclose you a recent cover by a French folk band called ‘La maison Tellier’ of the classical ‘Killing in the Name Of” by RATM. I have no affiliation whatsoever with  this band (but for the citizenship), but really dig the track. It would blend quite nicely in one of your next “Sweet Serenade” mixtape. Listen and enjoy.”

!UPDATE IN A FEW WEEKS (TOPS) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN MUSIC TO CHROMEMUSIC. VIDEOS, MUSIC & FULL POSTS. You will be able to write your own articles and will receive points for that. More on that matter – very, very soon!

II. The 2nd version almost made it onto my Sweet Serenade Mixtape Vol.3. Maybe next time, great nonetheless and the smoothest of the three.

Biffy Cyro – Killing in the name of (RATM cover)

III. Version No 3 comes from the Apples, its a pure funk, soul infused monster, that make the crowd scream the prominent hook in the breakdown. Great throwdown tune for any party.
