Apparently this cover comes from a 2005 session that Death Cab for Cutie did on NPR, but I just heard about it. Matthew Sweet’s Sick of Myself might be my favorite song of all time, if you sat me down and made me try to figure it out. Ben Gibbard and his band do a fine, mellow cover of it. The entire session is available as a stream NPR’s web site, but I ripped the MP3, which is available here:

The Police’s long awaited reunion tour kicks off tonight in Vancouver. Here’s a clip of them playing at last night’s “fan club” rehearsal performance. I’m seeing them on two consecutive days in July, and I can’t wait.

The Sports Guy passed along this link of a very odd guy performing his (as yet unfinished) version of the Rocky theme. He’s a little bizarre but the track’s fantastic.
UPDATE! Ronald finished his Rocky theme remix, and it’s available as an MP3 here.

Another fantastic Emmet Swimming show at the 9:30 Club the other night. Here’s their always amazing cover of the Police’s “So Lonely.”

I’m sure this song will be less interesting when I get it out of my head, but for now I love it. For those who missed it, this is from last night’s Monday Night Football game in New Orleans.

Last night I went to the album release show for Quitter UK’s debut album at Iota in Arlington, VA. Quitter features Todd Watts (my officemate) from Emmet Swimming, Scott Brotemarkle and Chuck Andrada from Smartbomb, along with David Strickland and Eric Vislay. The show was to celebrate the release of their first album, The Cleveland Office. The name of the album is actually a reference to a joke that Todd kept making when the band played my company’s Christmas party a couple years back. Before they went on stage he would introduce members of the band to people in the company as being from “the Cleveland office.” Continue »
