elbo.ws covers
In late 2007, Ruby isle started a project
[1] in which they covered the #1 song on indie music blog aggregator
elbo.ws. The first pressing of their album
Night Shot included all the covers from the first wave of this project:
#"Shadow Falls"
(Hello Blue Roses)
#"Aly Walk with Me"
(Ravonettes)
#"Tyrant"
(Black Mountain)
#"Foam Hands"
(Destroyer)
#"Gila"
(Beach House)
#"The Planes of Baltimore"
(Stephen Malkmus/MIA)
:*Ruby Isle missed a week, so they took two week's number ones ("Baltimore" by Stephen Malkmus and "Paper Planes" by MIA) and created one "mash-up" cover
#
"Sax Rohmer No. 1" (The Mountain Goats)
#"Cherry Tulips" (Headlights)
elbo.ws II

#"Skinny Love" (Bon Iver)
#"The Rake's Song" (The Decemberists)
#"My Girls (Animal Collective)
#"Short Fuse" (Black Lips)
