Simply Stunning
Born Ruffians (who kinda sound like Vampire Weekend, and remind me kinda of The Virgins) cover Grizzly Bear's 'Knife'. RAD! Listen aqui.
Similarly, one of indie's greatest alternative gods, Beck, covers Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon'. Listen aqui.
Finally, Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear covers JoJo's 'Too Little Too Late'. Basically resulting in epic awesomeness.

You Should Listen
LITTLE JOY IS....
Fabrizio Moretti – Guitar/Tenor Guitar/Piano/Bass/Drums/ Percussion/Melodica & Backing Vocals
Binki Shapiro – Vocals/Guitar/Glockenspiel/Percussion & Backing Vocals
Rodrigo Amarante – Vocals/Guitar/Piano/Bass/Ukulele/Organ/ Melotron/ Percussion & Backing Vocals
Made of bits 'n pieces of other bands. Namely Fabrizio, the drummer for The Strokes. He used to date Drew Barrymore.
I like them because they are accessibly alternative. Also, any band that frequents the ukulele and glockenspiel gets my indifferent shrug masking genuine enjoyment of approval. Which roughly translates into 'two thumbs up'. Just listen bo kay?

Happy Belated Mother's Day
Mom's everywhere will agree, after wiping away tears of laughter (i.e. my mom), “It's so true”.

Funny/Rad 3 Way Love Connection
Remember this picture from f*&%ing hipster dot com?
Plenty more where that came from. Check out Yokoo's flickr where she models her actually pretty cool original knitwear accessories.
This one is my favorite:
It reminds me of Miss Pussycat of Quintron and Miss Pussycat
They opened for Black Lips last year at Paradise. I was front row for their puppet show.
