Finally went and got the new Mini Cooper convertible. Red exterior, Black Panther Leather interior. Hot.

10/17 Friday 6-pack.zipJust Like Heaven (Cure cover) - The Watson Twins (HT: Ten Music)
Slow alt-countrified girl version. You could listen to this a couple of times before quite realizing it was a cover. Robert 'Bobby Joe' Smith would be proud.
Lost (remix) f. Jay-Z - Coldplay
Epic. In that defiant fists in the air, U2 pseudo-spiritual kinda way. I can see teens listening in their bedrooms angry at the world and sure they were going to change it. And then the bedroom door opens and, uh, the HOVa comes sauntering in.
I still like it.
The Shock of the Lightning - Oasis
The brothers Gallagher won't be writing anything as wondrous as Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall or Live Forever ever again. But they can write a pretty serviceable rocking stomper. Hoping to see them with Ryan Adams in early December here in LAla. Give me a holler if you're interested.
Race You - Elizabeth & The Catapult
This is just a demo, but she's already adorable. The lazy blogger compares her to so and so and references an iPod ad. But we don't do that here. Do we? Ah, dammit, we just did. Let's say then that she's charming and that when I was 10 I really like catapults and other assorted medieval siege weaponry.
First Sight - These United States
This is what their myspace page says: "Cumulonimbus WordPop fr th’Jangly Railyard Dreamer". Yes, gents, but which hobo most qualifies
here? I say it would be:
Manatee the Railyard Toreador.Judas - the Verve
Atmospheric Goodness. Lots of texture, a subtle melody strummed underneath and Richard singing "For a dream to happen, you gotta let it go" in and out of a precious falsetto. Perfect music for driving with the top down at night.
