The Killers – “Go All The Way” (Raspberries Cover)
The Tim Burton/Johnny Depp adaptation of Dark Shadows didn’t have a great weekend. It opened to $ 29 million in its very first weekend — far more funds than any of us will ever see in our lifetimes, but nowhere near as much as The Avengers pulled in. By most accounts, The Avengers is the better film, too. But one region where Dark Shadows wins is its soundtrack. The Avengers has a bunch of nu-metal and grunge leftovers, headlined by a decent-adequate Soundgarden reunion track over the finish credits. Dark Shadows, meanwhile, has a Danny Elfman score, an Alice Cooper cameo, and Iggy Pop and T. Rex tracks. And above its end credits, it also has the Killers, who haven’t been doing much lately, covering the Raspberries’ 1972 nugget “Go All The Way.”) Listen to their version below.
The Dark Shadows soundtrack is out now on WaterTower Music, but this Killers track does not appear on it, which is almost certainly why the audio top quality on the YouTube over is so muddy.

The Killers contributed a cover of The Raspberries’ 1972 track “Go All The Way” to Dark Shadows, the new film directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. As Radio 104.5 points out, the cover has now produced its way online, and you can listen to it under.
Oberhofer Cover Kanye West’s “Runaway”
As a loose on the internet bonus, the Brooklyn-through-Tacoma indie band Oberhofer have dropped their cover of Kanye West’s douchebag anthem “Runaway,” a song that translates surprisingly seamlessly to a spacey-indie context. It almost certainly helps that no person attempts Pusha T’s verse. Download the Oberhofer version below.

Coldplay honors Adam Yauch with ‘Fight for Your Right’ cover
Coldplay songs easily make the transition into melancholia. Perhaps it is the minor keys, the comfortably soft vocals of Chris Martin or the pristine, nearly sparkly clean production. Whatever the exact ingredient, even when Coldplay flashes its much more energetic, anthemic side, it does so modestly, with an aw-shucks earnestness.
So when the second calls for an eulogy, Coldplay is as fine a selection as any. The British superstars completed a 3-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, a day when the music community was in mourning above the loss of Beastie Boy founder Adam Yauch. Coldplay did not let the moment go unnoticed.
The group took one of the Beastie Boys’ signature songs and turned it into a piano-driven ballad. The New York trio’s “(You Gotta) Battle for Your Correct (to Celebration!)” was a single of the act’s earliest hits, released on the groundbreaking debut album “Licensed to Ill.” In original kind it really is a playfully exuberant send-up of youthful rebellion. In Coldplay’s hands, it is, maybe unsurprisingly, one thing far a lot more somber.

In a video that captured the Coldplay performance, there are cheers of recognition from the Hollywood Bowl crowd when Martin sings the opening line, but it isn’t until he gets to the chorus that it turns into clear to even the most casual of Beastie Boy fans which tune Martin is singing. Coldplay disregards the original’s punk rock momentum, and as an alternative gently reshapes the song with a lulling piano melody, a single slightly reminiscent of R.E.M.’s “Nightswimming,” perhaps.

At the Hollywood Bowl last night, Coldplay revived their acoustic, piano-led cover of “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Correct (To Get together!)” in memory of Adam “MCA” Yauch, who passed away yesterday. Watch and download the MP3 beneath.
Other tributes to MCA…
- In Newark the Red Hot Chili Peppers did not cover the Beasties, but did dedicate their offered-out display to MCA and closed their set by playing “Fight For Your Right” on the loudspeakers, according to Rolling Stone.
- On last night’s Late Evening, Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to the rapper with a statement (“He was a huge influence on me and millions of people about the planet … a excellent performer, director, father, humanitarian and New Yorker”) before showing a clip of the Beastie Boys’ 2009 performance on the show. All through the episode, the Roots carried out Beasties covers — e.g., “Sure Shot,” (4m16s) “Remote Control” (24m58s), “Sabotage” (41m55s) — in amongst acts. Watch the display beneath.
