Hello lady blogs. Ew. I immediately regret typing that. I'm back from the midwest, Manda's back from the South, and soon EC will be back from the Greeks. We shall celebrate this with a new playlist! Huzzah!



The theme for all of these songs is that they're all covers of other songs. Now I realize that a playlist of cover songs is like jumping the shark for playlists. And that some people hate cover songs. To those people I say, suck it. I love cover songs and you must accept this as one of my many flaws.



The first song is an example of my favorite thing about cover songs. It allows you to listen to a song that is actually good, but it's been avoided because you hate the artist. I give you...

Arctic Monkeys - You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse cover) KEC and I have discussed this already. I don't like her, her look, or anything about her really. I do, however, like the Arctic Monkeys. That's why this is happening.

The Kooks - Crazy (Gnarls Barkley cover) - I got so sick of this song. Then I found The Kooks cover and loved it again...as long as it was this version.

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) I also have a Fall Out Boy cover of this song which is just as fabulous, but I opted for this one. It's from Grey's Anatomy, when George's dad is in the hospital. Poor George.

A Sampler from the North

This blog has been infiltrated. By the Communists.

Hey kids, it's Comrade KEC! Comrade Connolly is feasting on cookies in America's Heartland.
And just like that, we've been blacklisted.

I am not at Nina's Playlist level, I just have a couple songs I feel very strongly about. Enjoy!

Hello loves. In a few days I will be departing for Minnesota and the land of Sleep Scientists (which thinking of it now, is a slightly awesome name for a band). I'm leaving you with some lovely music for you to download and listen to and think of me, of course. I jest. You can think of whatever...dogs, sandwiches, kayaking, beef jerky, etc. There is a slight theme to these songs. They are all Best Music Poll related. Except for those few that aren't but I liked them and wanted to put them here.
