Honestly I like this better than the original. Don't tell Taytay.
covers
I love this: Haim & Lorde cover Sheryl Crow
Hells yes ladies. Hells yes.
music video of the day: "Rouse Yourself" by JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound
Because Aubrey Plaza is smoking in a bathtub. Jake Johnson (aka that dude from The New Girl) is also in it too... but whatever. Aubrey Plaza smoking in a tub!
In case you've yet to hear it, check out their amazing Wilco motown cover below. It's pretty great stuff.
JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound are stopping by Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern Friday July 12th. Should be a groovy time.
music video of the day: "Take My Hand" by Charli XCX
I'll admit that up until very recently I kind of hated this girl, but the more I hear the more her hipster pop is starting to crawl under my skin in a good way. Sometimes you just gotta give in to the sugar right? Take her Backstreet Boys cover below for example. It's not ironic. It's just fun. Hate if you want, but it's much ore fun to enjoy.
Modjo's "Lady" & Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"//The xx & Jessie Ware
I so approve of this cover. "Lady" mashed up with "Music Sounds Better With You" is a rad enough combo alone but with Jessie Ware and The xx covering it?! Just. So. Good.
Fun Fact: Stardust is a side project of Thomas Bangalter AKA one half of Daft Punk.
