Sune Rose Wagner - Sunday Morning

Link: http://soundcloud.com/sunerosewagner/sunday-morning

Sune Rose Wagner from the Raveonettes unearthed this cover of the Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning that he recorded in Seattle back in 1999. Perfect way to say to Lou: so long and thanks for all the songs.  RIP.

Vampire Weekend - Blurred Lines (cover)

Video: http://youtu.be/P5TAoW3u6oY

This summer, it has been nearly impossible to turn on the radio and not hear Blurred Lines on one station or another.  Here is a cover of the song by Vampire Weekend.  Unlike Robin Thicke, Ezra Koenig can actually sing in tune.
