Last night, I was reading about a Vancouver-based shoegaze band called La Lune and kept seeing references to a Fleetwood Mac cover.

I tracked it down - it's part of a web series that challenges bands with impromptu covers. In this video, they're asked to cover "Dreams," which is perfect for a shoegaze song IMO. And let me tell you, their cover is awesome, as is the record of their creative process!

@HeyeBodo I've added them to my list of bands to buy records from (I think they have a couple of EPs).

@Tim_Eagon Oh, it's a Musora challenge! I watch their drum-focused channel Drumeo, and they do similar things there - they bring in a famous drummer, play them a song and if they don't recognize it, they have them make up a drum part to the song on the spot and then play them the original song. It's one of my favorite things on the internet.

@stumblewyk @Tim_Eagon I knew the concept of the challenge felt familiar! I love those Drumeo videos, glad to see them expanding them. I love me a good cover that completely changes the original song's genre.

@gilhova @Tim_Eagon Honestly, that's how I prefer my covers. My wife has heard me say it a thousand times - if you're going to cover a song, make it your own.

@stumblewyk @gilhova Exactly! But when they played "Dreams" in the first part, I thought while it isn't anything like shoegaze, it has an ethereal quality that makes it well suited to be adapted to that genre. I hope they refined it even more and added it to their live sets. It's a really good cover.
