Two Reasons I Can't Listen to the Album Version of Heartless

I was riding to 808's & Heartbreak yesterday and I got to Heartless but I couldn't even listen to it all the way through without thinking of these two versions. The first is a drum cover but the kid is niiiiiice. Never really heard a drummer cover a song so well since Travis Barker did it...twice. I mean three times. But remember, this time it's a KID. Just to see how nice his is, check out his Viva La Vida cover he did. Dope. The second version was by the band The Fray. They did an acoustic cover while on BBC's Live Lounge Radio 1 show. Also quite dope. I pretty much listened to both of these versions all summer last year but I felt like bringing em back. Check em out.

Kanye West x Andreas Koliakoudakis - Heartless Drum Cover

The Fray - Heartless Cover

Damn, I love covers.

Good Ass Job, anyone????

[Triple] Music of the Moment - July 14, 2009

I heard about the band Matt and Kim back at the end of 2008 but I kind of slept on them until recently when I realized that it was their song Daylight being played in the background of the new Bacardi commercial. [Note: Commercial can be found here. I'm sure you've seen it.] Anyway, I decided to buy their latest CD Grand yesterday and it's pretty dope. They also have some really dope and creative videos. Check out three of my favorite videos from Matt and Kim:
Daylight

Yeah Yeah

And my favorite, Lessons Learned [Watch this one til the end.]
We don't get many videos like this these days. Matt and Kim ftw
