Marvin Gaye vs Gorillaz - I Heard It Through the Grapevine vs Feel Good Inc

I’ll freely admit that at first, when rhythm oriented video games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero dropped, I was a openly skeptical.  Over the past few years I’ve changed my tune and occasionally you’ll find me at a party rocking out the mic or drums on everything from Weezer to System of a Down (I won’t go so far as to actually own the games, but I also won’t sit disapprovingly on the sidelines).

Well the latest iteration of said rhythm games comes in the form of DJ Hero and yet again I find myself a bit of a skeptic.  The game seems like a gimmick, the control scheme feels a bit elementary, and I’m not sure if it will catch on (note I’ve been wrong before).  Of one thing, though, I am certain.  Some of the tracks contained on this game are amazing.  Simply amazing.  Here’s my favorite.

It might not make you a DJ.  You might not even enjoy playing the game.  You will, however, enjoy the music.

Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes Under the Covers

First of all the Arctic Monkeys cover the Strokes. Which is fun, because until this cover I didn’t really like the Arctic Monkeys at all, ever. Yeah, I didn’t like the Arctic Monkeys and I guess I’m the first person in the world to admit it.

Then I stumbled across this wonderful cover by the Strokes. And as we all know by now the Strokes and I have shared a long and fulfilling love affair. I’ll even go this far; I loved them long before Rolling Stone did. There, I said it.
