Well, I've become more or less obsessed with The Morning Benders as of late - their sophomore album Big Echo has been on heavy repeat around mi casa. After seeing them at SXSW, I'm sold that these guys are the real deal. They have a commitment to the music that is really really cool, and the end product shows how much they pour into it. One of my favorite videos of the year is a feature Pitchfork made featuring a large number of San Fransisco musicians playing "Excuses" http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/2115-the-morning-benders, a recording that is really quite divine.
Recently another video of "Excuses" has been cruising around the information superhighway. It's a video of a guy in what looks to be a barn, playing a number of instruments and singing the song quite well. Luis over at PMA got the hook up with a high quality mp3 of his cover, and I'm excited to share it today. Check out the video and song below.

Another cover that has been all the rage recently is Lissie's cover of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance." Lissie is an up-and-coming name that you'll hear a lot about in the near future. The cover is nice - it's not my favorite song, but I do really like what Lissie has done with it. Check it out, along with another pretty adorable video. Happy covers!
