Awolnation

Just heard it on the Buzz on the way home. I don't know anything about the group, but will look into it soon. For now, you get this...Sail.

Milosh

i found this on the scott hansen blog a while back. its some good mood music for a snowy day.

Rx Bandits Rocks Guitar Hero

I found this song while ruining my social life playing guitar hero(alot of guitar hero). Its not me playing, but it looks very similar when I do.

Portugal. The Man

This is the song "And I" from the album Censored Colors. MAN this is a good song. Weird thing is, this band isn't even portugese. i love weird band names. I posted the live version instead of the studio version because its such an amazing performance.

Deftones

Off the Diamonds Eyes album. My favorite song from my favorite album by these guys. Weird clip, kinda creepy and kinda cool at the same time.

The Black Keys

Love the clip. Love the song. First heard it on a commercial...for beer? or a car? who knows. 

The Black Keys-Tighten Up

Ratatat + Bjork

Ratatat took Bjork's Wanderlust and made it their own. I wouldn't call it a cover because it's just completely different from the original version.

Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker

Arguably one of my favorite local bands eve, straight out of toronto. These guys have a huge sound for just two guys. This track is the first song off their first full length album, Questamation. It's called Cloudboy. If this is any indication of the direction they're going in, I hope theres alot more to come.

Pharell just does it different. Different means good.

i dont know much about her yet, but i have a feeling we'll hear more of her in the near future!

Cover Stories

Songs are constantly being re-done, remixed and revamped by future generations. Sometimes a cover can add a new a twist to an old classic, help you remember a forgotten gem or completely ruin a perfectly good song. Sometimes they're popular songs, other times they're a little more obscure. The song "John the Revelator" was reworked by Depeche Mode and released on their 2005 album Playing The Angel. The original dates back to the 1960-1970s by Edward James Son Jr. aka Son House.
