6 New Postmodern Jukebox Covers That Need To Be In Your Playlist

Phoenix New Times

Back in June I wrote an article about how much I love Postmodern Jukebox's work. In the last couple months they've only come out with better covers. So here are six new Postmodern Jukebox songs that need to be in your playlist RIGHT NOW.

1. Mr. Brightside (The Killers)

I love this song so much. It is my all time favorite blast in the car song. But I also adore Dean Martin. Best of both worlds? Definitely.

2. Closer (Chainsmokers & Halsey)

This is my *right now* song obsession. The original is so catchy and flawless, but this version really strips it down in a way that I love.

3. Heart of Glass (Blondie)

Not only is this cover great, but the music video is as well! Addie Hamilton is a perfect mix of Jean Harlow, the original bombshell blonde, and Debbie Harry (aka Blondie).

4. MMMbop (Hansen)

I don't know what it is about this song, but it is PERFECT for a Beach Boys/Doo Wop arrangement. I don't know where they find their vocalists, but these guys sound so tight together. I hope to see many a capella covers of this arrangement in the future.

5. Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen)

One of the things I love about PMJ is that they don't limit themselves to Top 40 hits that came out in the last twenty years. One of my other favorite things about PMJ? Von Smith's voice.

6. Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden)

I'm not a fan of the original version of this song. But this arrangement makes this song into a sexy torch song that I can't help but love.

Postmodern Jukebox breathes new life into old songs or plays around with new ones. It's no secret that I love the work they do and can't wait to see more from them as the years go by!

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
