1. Jenny Owen Youngs-Hot In Herre
[buy album] [myspace]

So. Wonderful.

2. The Vines-Miss Jackson
[website] [myspace]

One of my more listened to songs on iTunes. It's just...good.

3. Ben Folds-Bitches Ain't Shit
[buy album] [myspace]

So. Funny. And good.
"Obviously we thought it was funny too, but also we were really going for a feeling. This is stuff that is said on the radio, It's bleeped out, but everyone knows what they're saying. It's sold millions of records. These kinds of messages, why is it ok and why can someone write off a gangster rapper when he is saying those things? And then, here is a white boy who sings it with a pretty melody, and they go, 'Wait a minut, what is he saying?' I could almost see making a career out of that sort of behavior"-Ben Folds on Bitches Ain't Shit, Relevant Magazine

4. Blink 182-Dancing With Myself
[buy album] [website]

I love Blink 182. Don't judge me.

5. Nickel Creek-Toxic (live)
[buy a different album] [myspace]

I've seen them live twice. And this is always a crowd favorite. And sadly, one of the more-known songs that they play.

6. Jamie Cullum-High & Dry
[buy album] [myspace]

Good cover to a good song.

7. Mindy Smith-Jolene (featuring Dolly Parton)
[buy album] [myspace]

That one's only PARTLY a cover. And partly the original. It seems like everyone and their mom covered this song at one point or another.

8. Joe Andrews-Hey Jude
[buy album] [official site]

I hear the movie's good, too. ::shrug:: I'd go see it just for the music.

9. Cake-I Will Survive
[buy album] [myspace]

Different than I thought it would be. But good. If you like Cake. Or pie. Mmm...

and no covers playlist would be complete without...

10. Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah
[buy album] [myspace?] [website]

tea and crumpets

this is the Westminster Abbey.

does anyone else wish we had a queen?

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.-Once More With Feeling
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.-I Spy
[buy album] [myspace]
Kate Nash-Merry Happy *
Kate Nash-Foundations
[buy album] [myspace]

if you'll notice, the links to buy the album this time are to amazon instead of itunes. because these bands can only be purchased on itunes: UK. isn't that weird? i thought so, too.

* this song was on grey's anatomy last week. you may have heard it there. or you may be cooler than i am and have something to do on a thursday night BESIDES watch tv. if that's the case, good for you.
