Hear Arcade Fire’s latest cover, the Pixies’ “Alec Eiffel” off 1991’s Trompe le Monde.
They performed this at the Xfinity Center, Mansfield, MA.
You’ll hear the group play a bit of the group Boston’s “More Than A Feeling,” and then into “Alec Eiffel.”

Today a brand new official Bob Dylan recording went online at bobdylan.com, Dylan’s official website.
From Rolling Stone:
”This track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later on this year,” a spokesperson for the singer tells Rolling Stone. While the rep wouldn’t confirm an album title, Dylan posted an image of himself with the phrase “Shadows in the Night.” With its distinct vertical bars and crisp, minimalist text, the image appears to be in the style of graphic designer Reid Miles’ iconongraphic covers for jazz label Blue Note.
Here’s Sinatra’s version:
Listen to the song, a cover of Frank Sinatra’s 1945 hit “Full Moon and Empty Arms”:
Thought it would be a blast to listen to a variety of artists covering Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm.”
Below check out versions by Rage Against the Machine, the Grateful Dead, Uncle Tupelo, The Residents, The Waterboys, Toots Hibbert, The Specials, U2, Richie Havens, Stephen Malkmus, the Charlie Daniels Band and Solomon Burke.
Plus a version by David Grisman, John Hartford and Mike Seeger.
And Bob Dylan with and without The Band.
Hope you have as much fun with these as I did.
