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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
