Every October 31st Vermont’s most famous jam-band, Phish, puts on a Halloween concert for fans where Trey Anastasio and co. don what they call a “musical costume” by covering another artist’s album in its entirety. Previous years have treated Phish fans to renditions of the Beatles’ “White Album,” the Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main Street,” and the Who’s “Quadrophenia.” Not to be outdone—and because I think the idea of musical costumes is pretty cool—I’ve compiled a number of my favorite covers into the next 34th & Now mixtape: Cover Me, I’m Going In: A Mixtape in Costume. Grab it as a zip file here. Track List: Kid A (Radiohead) - John Mayer Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen) - Matt Nathanson Viva La Vida (Coldplay) - Lady GaGa What You Like (T.I.) - Anya Marina Stuck on You (Elvis Presley) - Dave Matthews Kids (MGMT) - Ben Lee Three Little Birds (Bob Marley) - Brendan Urie of Panic at the Disco Crazy (Gnarls Barkley) - Wakey!Wakey! Beggin’ (Madcon) - The Saturdays Across the Universe (The Beatles) - Fiona Apple Are You That Somebody (Aaliyah) - The Gossip Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) - Paramore Badfish/Boss DJ (Sublime) - Jack Johnson Hide Your Love Away (The Beatles) - Eddie Vedder When You Were Young (The Killers) - The Noisettes Tiny Dancer (Elton John) - Ben Folds
