A friend of mine told me there was another cover of Joanna Newsom’s Peach, Plum, Pear floating out in the internets, so I immediately went out and found it. I am not much of a lyricist; however, this song in particular is one of my lyrical favorites (second only to The Kinife – Heartbeats). Straylight Run’s cover of P,P,P is simplistic and sheds a new light on the quirky and perfect original.

Video : Direct Note Access Demo

I just read over at Music Thing about Melodyne’s new breakthrough Direct Note Access technology . This software makes my mind hurt and I can only begin to try to fathom the potential uses and how much cookie-cutter pop culture music will abuse the flexibility and power (as they already have with pitch and rhythm correction). Either way I really want to try out the program and see if it is really capable of the powerful and unheard of concepts that it claims to do with ease.

The Weepies’ new full length album is due out April 22 (album art & tracklist). I found out about The Weepies through the online music store Aime Street back when Say I Am You came out. Ever since then I have been completely obsessed with the band. They have such a feel warm all over sound. As you can probably tell, I am extremely excited for the new album and am happy to be able to share the title track. Be on the lookout a month from now for a thorough review.
