Thursday: Unreleased White Stripes covers

Yesterday, courtesy of Some Kind of Awesome, a pair of unreleased covers from the White Stripes archives were unveiled. Outside of Record Store Day's release of the band's "Let's Shake Hands" 7" (which fans already heard off of their live album Under Great White Northern Lights).

Platinum members of Jack White's Third Man Records received physical copies of the Otis Redding and Love covers. Listen to them both below.

White Stripes - Signed D.C. (Love Cover)

Weird Summer

The guys at Aquarium Drunkard and Gorilla vs. Bear have dished out some lovely (and long) end of summer mix tapes, full of the fuzzy sun-fusion indie surf that have given Summer 2009 such a vibrant sound.

From the Aquarium Drunkard mix we have works from The Books, Atlas Sound, Love, Otis Redding, The Magnetic Zeros, Little Joy, Best Coast, and many, many more (full tracklist here.) The mix was put together by Aquarium Drunkard creator Justin Gage and his group Mondo Boys, which Gage calls a "NY/LA mixtape/sound collage collaborative."
