Has Anyone Ever Heard of the Band Radiohead?

so i got my good ol' Rolling Stone in the mail today, and besides all of the left winged liberalism (which i love but not in my damn music mag) they delivered an amazing Radiohead interview. Which led me to recapture some of their glory, by what else COVERS!! Ok don't get me wrong, i will be the first to tell you how much i DESPISE john mayer, but he delivered an unbelievably good cover, of the title track from perhaps radiohead's best album (?) "kid a." Wow, he seems the type to do like creep or high and dry, but no, he actually did a somewhat miniscule song from that album, i'm impressed, but he's still no damn guitar god...
Out of all the covers i have, i'm only posting two, because i'm not that impressed with all of the other ones. But this Vampire Weekend cover of "Exit Music" from THE BEST radiohead album "OK Computer," is very well done. And the last...out of all radiohead songs, "Fake Plastic Trees" has probably been covered the most. But in my opinion, none of them match up to the simply beautiful live acoustic version performed by the thom and johnny alone. Your Welcome.

Yada Yada Yada...

so the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are hard at work on a new album, hopefully do out later this year, but i'm not getting my hopes up. Anyways, i have two remixes, one i really like, which is a Faint remix, and the other is a Diplo remix, both decent, but i've heard better.
And the third song, is an old song that i rediscovered because of a stupid Geico commercial. But still amazingggg....when you play it, you will know it immediately. i promise.
hope your weekend went well everyone.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control (the faint remix)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion (diplo remix)
Röyksopp - Remind Me

Coachella etc.

so Coachella was announced the other day, and i must say i'm not very impressed. But i will def go to one night, i'm just not sure. Night 1 has a few i wanna see, Night 2 has hot chip! but Night 3 has justice!!
how can i decide??
Anyways, i'm back to posting a lot more...i've just had a lot to deal with lately...Both of these songs are great covers by great bands. No more sad music for the time being. The first band, i would KILL to see at coachella, and the other i wouldn't mind seeing either. Klaxons, singing the old blackstreet song, "no diggity," absolutely hilarious! and the other, by the arctic monkeys, is a fabulous strokes cover.
Have a great weekend everyone.

No Sleep

so for the 6th day straight, i haven't been able to sleep. I just don't know what to do. I try to sleep, but i just lay there for hours. So i've just given up.
Here are probably the last slow songs i am going to post for awhile. They are beautiful, and about relationships...enjoy.

Michael Cera and Ellen Page - Anyone Else But You
Damien Rice - Creep (Radiohead Cover)
Jon Solo - Blue Light (Bloc Party Cover)

Hot Chip Pt.2

sorry i forgot i actually bought two of the songs i posted on my last post....which means you can't download them because they are from itunes...goddd itunes i hate you sometimes.
So here are two different songs, both remixes done by hot chip.
Enjoy.

Tilly and the Wall - Sing Songs Along (Hot Chip Remix)
!!! - Must Be The Moon (Hot Chip Remix)

Made In The Dark

Hot Chip's new album, "Made in the Dark" doesn't come out until the first week of february, but i have been lucky enough to get an advanced copy, and so far so good. So far it is not necessarily as catchy as 2006's "The Warning," but far more intimate, and beautiful. The song i am posting is the title track from the album, and you will see what i mean, no synth or electro beat, but simply a piano and a limited drum beat. Highly recommended.
Looks like another saturday movie night for me. Happy Saturday everyone.

Friday Night Alone...

how sad... its friday night and i am just sitting at home...i hope this isn't a regular thing...
well anyways no one hates the foo fighters more then myself, although dave grohl is a somewhat fine musician, i find his music mainly not listenable. Except for his live show, i find his live music way better sounding then produced studio music, as seen here with his cover of The Arcade Fire's "Keep the Car Running." Of course i would rather hear the real band sing this live, but this is a surprisingly good version of the epic song from "Neon Bible. I also use this song as motivation, as i need to keep my car running if you know what i mean.
Also, the Foo Fighters music sounds better when other people sing it, as the hit "Best of You" is performed live by London group Stereophonics. Very nicely done.
Have a nice weekend everybody.
