Hey there. I'm thanking President Obama for rejecting the Keystone XL Pipeline. It was a dirty deal and he knew it and stood up against it to save our health and environment!
If you want to join me in thanking him:

Did we miss the 2012 SB ticket sale on waste at 6:00??????
Other blog disabled comments. :(
where is the link to buy tickets! The 2008 show was unreal
It will work.
Just an answer
You will know when you´re lost
White or black, good or bad
I´m sure you will choose wrong.
When you are at the bottom
You begin to rise up
You thought you were there
But then you find a much deeper hole.
No one will help this time, you are alone again.
Just wait for it
Is closer than you think
We hope you´re strong enough to resist the final hit.
We hope you can survive, we know you´ll give your best
We are sure you will rise up and never fall again.

So this is not new...But still relatively recent. Felt like this post warranted a disclaimer of some sort. As I weave my way through an internet that seems to be completely on strike today, LEVI's Pioneer Sessions surfaced, with covers by The Kills, She & Him, Passion Pit and The Shins. Not a bad selection for a day where the act of viewing a webpage requires extensive use of the 'cache' feature.
The Kills try out the Velevt Underground classic 'Pale Blue Eyes', while She & Him continue in their classical footsteps with old-timey 60's favorite 'Fools Rush In' done by Elvis, Frank Sinatra and many others. Passion Pit creatively reinvents Smashing Pumpkins' 1995 jam 'Tonight, Tonight'. Last but not least, The Shins create a jaunty tune out of 'Goodbye Girl' originally done by Squeeze.
If you've heard these--apologies--if not, enjoy!

I stumbled across this cover of Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android' by Weezer and I just had to share. Not a huge fan of Weezer, with the exception of a few songs that simply require going nuts when heard (ie. Say It Ain't So). Although the quality could use a tune-up its at least not a microphone held up to a tape player. That'd be ridic.

The other day was quite a gloom n' doom sort of day here in the Big Apple. Nothing juicy and red about it at all. So here is a list of cover songs by some known, and some not-so-well-known players on the music circuit these days. They all seemed to compliment the mood of the day exceptionally well.

Ruthie & Zach from Mount Weak deliver a haunting, simple, stripped down version of the upbeat, funky jam 'Heartbeats'. Complete with acoustic guitars, echoing vocals and other ethereal noises, this one packs more emotional content into the song than I previously thought possible.
Mount Weak - Heartbeats (The Knife Cover)
Illinois-based singer/songwriter and beard afficianado William Fitzsimmons creates a captivating folky rendition of The Smiths classic song 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I What'. Taken from the album 'Please, Please Please: A Tribute To The Smiths.'
Since it's on an album featuring a newly squeezed Garbage track [they've been truly MIA for years], you know it has to be good. And it is---Damien Rice tries his hand at the U2 classic hit 'One'. Taken from the album 'Ahk-toong Bay-bi'.
Taking a completely different direction as most paying tribute to Nirvana, the man known as Porcelain Raft took the track 'Come As You Are' and gave it a slow-paced industrial twist. With vocals that sound like they were done in an indoor pool. It has a similar feel to anything the Flaming Lips may have tried...or will try, who knows.
Joy Zipper--the duo from Long Island, Tabitha Tindale and Vincent Cafiso capture the youthful spirit of love and freewill with The Cure classic 'Just Like Heaven.' Not to be confused with Joy Division, Band Of Joy or The Joy Formidable...although I might have just done that for you. Not much has changed here, perhaps more drums and hastened pace, but not by much. What is really enjoyable and unique is the duet between the two singers.
The remix artist collective known as [obviously] RAC, has been busy working on tons of hits and cooking them up to serve you slices of badass remakes. Taking time out of their day to completely remake a song from scratch, are Andre Allen Anjos and his wife Liz Anjos who took what is arguably one of the Smashing Pumpkins best songs, '1979' and rather than remixing, covered it instead [with talent].
The Horrors are brave for tackling fellow Brit David Bowie and his jam 'Suffragette City'. But with a heavily punk influence it works out perfectly. Straighten up your face and listen.
P.S. - The covers arent necessarily from 2010...fyi
