Death Cab cover of The Cure featured on Sweetheart compilation

Submitted by admin on January 23, 2009 – 10:07 amOne Comment

No one should be thinking of Valentine’s Day yet, but since Starbuck’s announced the January 30th release of their Sweetheart compilation, perhaps love is in the air already.

The compilation includes an armful of quality indie artists performing their favorite love songs. Starting off with Death Cab for Cutie’s cover of The Cure’s “Love Song” and ending with Lila Down’s cover of Frank Sinatra’s “My One and Only Love”, the 14-tracks certainly pull from some of the industry’s greatest artists.

Sweetheart can be picked up at participating Starbuck’s locations starting on the 30th.
