[Acoustic Cover] The Kooks – Kids (MGMT)

the-kooks-cover-songs
I have previously mentioned how I have grown a thick skin to all the way too many remixes of MGMT’s Kids. Yet this cover simply blew me away. The Kooks, a British indie pop band, have rejuvinated my liking to Kids with their amazing cover. The Kooks have been known to do many covers of popular songs like Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy and Coldplay’s Violet Hill.

[Soundtrack] Entourage Season 6 Finale Music (Episode 12 "Give A little bit")

entourage-season-6-episode-12-finale-soundtrack-music

Entourage has always been one of my favorite shows, not to mention, I always discover new music every episode that goes by. This one, however, has been slightly difficult to track down which songs were used in their season finale. In the final scenes of the episode, as E is about to get on the plane leaving Sloan behind, the song Lisztomania by Phoenix is playing in the background. The song right after that as the airplane is about to take off is actually a song by Jay Z remixed for the Street Is Watching called “In My Life Time”.

There are 2 more songs I am trying to figure out that hopefully I will be able to post it here. Stay Tuned!

Phoenix – Lisztomania

Looking Back: Jens Lekman too funny for his own good

jens-lekman

Short Description about Jens Martin Lekman:
This guy is hilarious!

Long Description about Jens Martin Lekman:
Jens Martin Lekman, an indie pop musical who hails from Sweden but now resides in Melbourne Australia, delivers heavily sampled guitar-based pop with lyrics that are a compelling mix of wit, romance, and melancholy.

Lekman’s first distribution of music, from 2000 to 2003, was mostly private but started to get some airplay. One of his songs, “Rocky Dennis’ Farewell Son to the Blind Girl”, caused a case of mistaken identity when new fans and even radio stations thought that he was Rocky Dennis. In 2004, he released the album Rocky Dennis in Heaven which put the identity matter to rest.

A lot of his songs rely on comedic storytelling like “Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo” and “You Are The Light”. The lyrics are at times random and ridiculous but he makes it up in charm and poetic wit.
