mr. blue sky
This is really just for Zach, because he missed the show. This is such a weird cover but it was amazing live. I am so glad Mayer Hawthorne is getting such amazing press right now. Also, I think he's got something in the works with Snoop Dogg...I guess we'll see what he's got up his sleeve soon enough.

Ha, Ryan and I were talking about how awesome this song is last night. I'd been super reluctent to listen to ELO until I heard this song in an episode of Dr Who and then learned it was ELO.
ReplyDeleteI always liked that stupid song...I don't even know what it's called...Telephone Line? Anyway, that song is so dorky but I always loved it. Anyway, Mr. Blue Sky is great and I'm glad I got to see MH cover it. He does some really weird covers. I mean, other than some really cool soul covers, there's one floating around on YouTube of him doing 'Paper Planes' and it's just suuuuper cheesey and hilarious. Also, he did a really great set on World Cafe (I think) last week. Really great, except for the fact that I am pretty sure Bob Boylan is getting senile and is starting to annoy me a little bit with his blathering. Ergh.
ReplyDeleteThis is maybe the greatest cover song I've ever heard; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG2EGOB9-lc
ReplyDeleteNothing is better than some pretty little girl signing Straight Out of Compton...
Also, I never really got into World Cafe thanks to Bob Boylan.
Thank you, that was most excellent.
