Francis and the Lights – “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”
This is an old cover of the Kanye West original, but I really like it. I think it must be the piano.

Just A Band – 82 (Album)
Really refreshing. Brilliant album from start to finish.
Passion Pit – “Tonight, Tonight”
“Lauded electro-pop band Passion Pit have re-crafted the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight” in a manner that is at once reverent and full of daring. Michael Angelakos’ affinity for the song is clear in the way his high voice hems to the original melody. But where the Pumpkins went for ambitious grandiosity, Angelakos submerges the song into an electronic world of synth.” – Levi’s Pioneer Sessions

This Town Needs Guns – “Panda”
“If time has taught us this much,
it’s that honesty is the cornerstone of trust.”
Kanye West: Sampling Genius?
Say what you will about him as a person, but it’s interesting to hear exactly how he takes older songs and “modernizes” them for a younger generation. It also provides a chance for those that didn’t know about the originals to enjoy them as well and broaden their musical taste a little.
