The Kills – “Pale Blue Eyes” (Cover)

The Kills are a bold bunch, taking on the task of covering what is arguably one of the most classic tracks of the late 60's, "Pale Blue Eyes" by Velvet Underground. The timeless track (written by Lou Reed) helped solidify Velvet Underground's spot as one of the greatest bands of all time, and the rendition of the track by The Kills is a refreshingly bluesy-rock take on it. The track is the B-side from their wonderful single "The Last Goodbye," and will bring you back to a time when every song didn't have to have something electronic in it to be good.

Upon this day, I declare that Indie music is leaps and bounds more pure than anything else, and the Term "Indie" means not that a band isn't mainstream, but that a band has been able to hold on to its roots, even through fame and fortune. While the wonderful thumps and womps of electronic music gets me grooving, it will always be the Alternative Indie Rock that guides me to the homeland. And for that -- I both thank it and applaud it -- for it has brought me great pleasure in the past and will so in the future.
