Indie Mix 10

Back from the swamplands and the ample supply of fried things in New Orleans, I come bearing gifts.  Here is an out of order mix.  Meaning this is Indie Mix 10, but the last one I posted was Indie mix 7.  No real reason to rush this one to the forefront.  I will post 8 and 9 at some point.  I was just listening to this one and thought some other people might want to hear it as well.

It is heavily stacked in the favor of covers.  I counted a total of 11 covers but I may have missed one or two.  There are three covers by the Morning Benders from their all cover album, "Bedroom Covers."  They take on Fleetwood Mac, Roy Orbison, and the Cardigans, known for their hit from the, "Romeo and Juliet," soundtrack, "Lovefool."  There are 4 Harry Nilsson covers, one is actually a cover of a cover.  Harry had big success with his version of, "Everybody's Talkin" which was originally a Fred Neil song.  On this mix Luna takes a turn at it.  There is also an Adele cover, a Beach House cover, and M Ward does two covers, one song by the Everley Brothers and one by Pete Townshend."  Grab the mix here and/or hit the jump for the whole tracklist.
