Daily Jam - Just What I Needed

Still one of my favorite albums from high school, the self-titled lone album from Replicants.  Featuring members of Failure, Lusk, and Tool, the band plays covers of everyone from David Bowie to Missing Persons to Steely Dan.  Here's their version of The Cars' "Just What I Needed," our Daily Jam.

The Golden Filter Cover The Cars

UK electro-pop duo The Golden Filter, of which experimental artist Penelope Trappes is a member, just release a wonderful and dreamy take on The Cars' classic "Drive."  Perfect for late night drives through neon lit cities.  Check it out, along with a beatless version below and download them here from 4GN3S.

Daily Jam - Moving in Stereo

Let's listen to The Cars today, in particular the song that will eternally make me think about Phoebe Cates.  Here's "Moving in Stereo," our Daily Jam.

RIP Ric Ocasek

I didn't get to post this last night when i heard the news, but i remember when i was a little kid, The Cars were one of those bands that made me feel kind of cool to like.  And even long after they split up, Ric Ocasek continued to inform some of my musical tastes behind the boards for acts like Weezer and Guided by Voices and more.  He was a quirky and cool guy, and the world is lesser without him.  RIP Ric Ocasek.
