Chelsea Hotel

The Chelsea Hotel has long been known as a "flop house" for authors, actors and singers. Some of the most prestigious people ever have stayed there, from Dylan Thomas to Bob Dylan to The Andy Warhol Superstars. It even served as a refuge for some of the Titanic survivors for a while. The hotel is often referenced in pop culture, such as films, book and of course, music. Some of the most famous songs by Bob Dylan were written during his time at the Chelsea (Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands to name just one), and the list goes on and on. Here are just a few songs that reference the Chelsea Hotel in some form.

Cover songs

I've run across some pretty interesting covers the last few weeks, and thought I'd post them. Some sounds close to the originals, and some sound vastly different. Either way, each artist gives the song a little of themselves and makes for a nice & interesting listen.

JoJo- Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston)
Robyn- Since U Been Gone (Kelly Clarkson)
Elvis Costello- Ring Of Fire (Johnny Cash)
Paolo Nutini- Rehab (Amy Winehouse)
Mandy Moore- Umbrella (Rihanna)
