Did anyone else hear some melodic part of that Azalia Snali and hear the chorus of Rancid's Time Bomb, think a cover of that was in progress?

No? Just me?

This Duncan Browne track is great, but it sort of reminds me of a seventies version of Kirk Van Houten's deathless classic "Can I Borrow A Feeling?"

I know it's a crazy request but many months ago you posted a video of The Smithereens doing very early track, "Some Other Guy," (not to be confused with the Beatles cover, which they also did.) and I can't find it ANYWHERE!
Any clue how to find it?! Thanks from a loyal follower!

Greetings everyone. Driving around Pasadena this weekend, I saw a silver Honda CRV with a "I♥ WFMU" license plate. I tried to catch up to him but couldn't. So happy to see FMU love on the West Coast.

This reminds me of Eric Burdon and War due to its extremely freeform vocals and also Rage Against the Machine. Also African music in its chorus. Cool! Parquet Courts.

marygidge:

Some teenage girl made it her mission to get Weezer to cover Africa. maybe a young woman. Anyway, she hassled them on twitter, and they covered some other toto song first (i think) to tease her, then finally covered Africa. you all probably know this by now, but if not... that's the reason this cover came seemingly out of the blue.
