Modest Mouse Blue Grass Tribute- Float On
Modest Mouse Blue Grass Covers »»»> Modest Mouse
These covers are performed by a wonderful group called Iron Horse; they have a couple of albums covering other bands’ songs (Metallica, the Shins, the Offspring, etc.), but I think the Modest Mouse covers work the best.
Papas Fritas- Sing About Me
This song was on the first mix cd i ever received. The band’s name is awesome on its own, but the song is great too. It reminds me of 97% of the girls I know. If you are potentially insulted by this, then you’re probably in the 3% and therefore should not be insulted.
cool smashing pumpkins song from soundtrack for a movie i never saw. not sure if this version has the awesome guitar feedback-y thing at the end.
Last night I saw Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The short-haired girl in it sings on this song! She sounds way more British, probably because she’s British in real life.
A few years ago when I was working for the fed gov in my cubicle, I was screwing around on the internet and decided to see if this band was touring. This is before they became the hipster media darlings. I clicked on the website, and then saw a link for the bands’ cover artist, David Barnes (brother of the lead singer). I clicked the link and a box popped up saying a virus was detected. I freaked out and quickly shut the window. Then about 10 seconds later I got a call from I.T. saying they were notified that I had just been attacked from a virus. I had to explain to them what I was doing. I tried to ‘class it up’ by explaining that I was looking at an artist’s website, which was technically true, while leaving out the stuff about the band. They didn’t really say anything. Then a few minutes later I got called into my boss’ office. the IT people snitched! I gave him the same story and he was cool with it though. People have gotten away with wayyyyyyyyy worse at the fed gov, so I wasn’t really sweating it, I was just a little embarrassed.
I haven’t heard this song before. I’m blogging from NY and I don’t have my mp3’s all here so I just picked something randomly from the albums I downloaded recently. I had a dream that I had to play with this band in concert. I was handed a small hand percussion instrument and had to stand behind some violinists (real musicians), and all I could think about was how I don’t really like any of the band’s last 3 albums, but I really liked the 2 albums before that. My friends and I saw these guys play an outdoor show at MSU in 2003. I think they did a Beatles cover.

PRAYING FOR PAVEMENT TO GET BACK TOGETHER
‘…but thanks for noticing!’
Skullcrusher’s song of the day
I didn’t really pick up on the origin of this phrase until I was driving back to Cleveland from New York a few days after taking the bar exam. I don’t really think the song is about driving a truck but I could be wrong.
