straylight run : peach, plum, pear cover

stray-new.jpg

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.

grizzly bear

grizzly bear

Grizzly Bear is an indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York who are becoming more well known for their unique blend of experimental and traditional rock techniques. They have a new EP due out this Tuesday (6 Nov, 2007). It should be a nice treat to hear new music and remixes from the band. I spent today writing a Mahalo page for the band so I don’t exactly feel like talking about them anymore. There are a lot of good links on that page, so if you are interested in Grizzly Bear you should check it out. It was a neat experience to make a Mahalo page. My only hope is that the learning curve is steep, because it took me a long time to do make this one.

scala & kolacny brothers

scala & kolacy brothers

Scala & Kolacny Brothers’ interpretations of the best songs of our time are always a pleasure to listen to. The all female choir directed by the Kolacny brothers, demonstrate the anatomy of a successful musical single by striping it down to its bare essentials, building emotional covers around 40 female voices and 1 piano. Heartbeats, written and originally preformed by The Knife, is an haunting melody who’s strong emotions transpose to its countless covers. If you have never heard Scala before I would highly recommend giving them a listen. If you have enjoyed them in the past, take this as a subtle reminder to listen again.
