Music Monday: The Art of Cover Art

Few things excite the ladies of Mack to the Future as much as a good cover (or mash-up, or re-mix) - if someone reinvents and makes us re-think a song, we're on board in a big way. Hence, Body Language's future releasing album upon album of covers alongside our own self-styled summer jams. So imagine our excitement that besides, you know, making jeans, Levi's is now sponsoring an entire series of artists covering their favorite artists for Pioneer Sessions.
