While I’m very curious about the Todd Haynes-directed Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There hitting theaters in November, I’m just as interested in the 2-disc soundtrack dropping October 30. The soundtrack is overflowing with Dylan covers from some truly ace artists (seriously, just check out that tracklist) and the soundtrack’s MySpace page is currently streaming four tracks. It’s interesting to hear what the artists are doing with their covers. While Jeff Tweedy stays close to the original material, Sufjan brings his orchestral flare to his Dylan track. Check them out below.

MP3s:
Jeff Tweedy - “Simple Twist of Fate”
Sufjan Stevens - “Ring Them Bells”

STREAM:
Calexico & Jim James - “Goin’ to Acapulco”
Cat Power - “Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again”

Kate Nash recently dropped by the Jo Whiley’s Live Lounge and treated listeners with a cover of Arctic Monkeys’ “Fluorescent Adolescent.” It’s always nice to hear that Tom Jones ain’t the only one covering the A-Monks.

Proving once again that just about everybody loves Arcade Fire, Norah Jones gave “Ocean of Noise” the cover treatment a couple of weeks ago at the Sopot International Song Competition in Poland. Although the track volume is a bit on the soft side, it’s still not a terrible recording of the live performance.

While I was worried that marathon sessions of Guitar Hero 2 may have killed my love for Heart’s “Crazy On You”, leave it to Blitzen Trapper to cover the song and rekindle my love for it. Thanks to You Ain’t No Picasso for the heads up!

Electronic duo Microfilm have covered Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago” for their new single and given it a synth-pop treatment. After including three different remixes of “Chicago” on The Avalanche and recently stretching his own musical boundaries, Soof would approve of Microfilm’s minimalist techno take on his sweeping song. Hypeful is digging the track, too - the guys have processed it through their unique electro sound and kept the joy of the original. You can stream “Chicago” on Microfilm’s MySpace page and the single is available for purchase on iTunes backed with a new b-side, “Ralf & Florian” (an homage to the dynamic duo who wrote electronic music into the history books).
