BBC Radio 1 Covers

So recently I've been listening to these amazing covers some of my favorite artists have been doing for BBC Radio 1. All of the artists are covering new songs so it's interesting to get a new take of a new song. For example, White Lies covering Kanye's Love Lockdown or The Noisettes covering The Killers When You Were Young. Below are my current favorites:


Paramore covering Use Somebody


White Lies covering Love Lockdown


Lady Gaga covering Viva La Vida


Dizzee Rascal covering That's Not My Name


The Noisettes covering When You Were Young


Lily Allen covering Naive

Summer Concerts...thus far

I am very excited about the summer concerts I am going to. It is a solid lineup and I will blog about each one individually. Lollapalooza is still up in the air (anyone going???) but these shows I am for sure going to:

Passion Pit
She and Him
Pains of Being Pure at Heart/Surfer Blood
Mat Kearney
Chairlift
Crystal Castles

and that's just the beginning...many more to come, I'm sure. Anyone want to join in with me on these? I currently have a Pains of Being Pure at Heart/Surfer Blood ticket up for grabs.

Janelle Monae: Tightrope on Letterman

This chick can SING! Check out the absolutely amazing and soulful network debut of a great up and comer, Janelle Monae. This song is absolutely infectious. This is someone to watch for in the near future...

The Naked and Famous: Young Blood

This has been one of my jams the passed few days. If Passion Pit and Beach House had a child it would be The Naked and Famous. Listen, watch, and enjoy this little gem:
