So in honor of the Beatles having a massive week last week, I decided to bring them down a notch. Because we all know the Beatles don’t need any more attention. I mean, it’s been 60 years of “Beatles this” and “Beatles that” for flip’s sake! I hope you can sense my sarcasm. The Beatles …

Sara's Covers Revue, Vol. 5 – The Kooks cover "Kids" :: Originally by MGMT
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve heard of MGMT. You’ve probably heard their smash hit “Electric Feel” everywhere! As for me, I was introduced to them the same way I was introduced to Passion Pit: through a satellite radio channel called Left of Center. If you haven’t heard this …
Sara's Covers Revue, Vol. 4 – Fiona Apple covers "I Want You" :: Originally by Elvis Costello
Two of the biggest artists in the game and I am an avid listener of neither. Now don’t get me wrong; I don’t hate either of them. I actually rather enjoy Fiona Apple and I haven’t heard enough of Elvis Costello to really form an opinion (I know, and I call myself a music blogger. …
Sara's Covers Revue, Vol. 3 – A Static Lullaby covers "Toxic" :: Originally by Britney Spears
Remember when Britney Spears was known for making pop music and not for shaving her or her kids’ heads? Well, I was never a fan of hers, but I must admit that “Toxic” is a pretty catchy song and the only one I like by the pop princess. So for this week’s edition of Sara’s …
Sara's Covers Revue, Vol. 2 – Dynamite Hack covers "Boyz-N-The-Hood" :: Originally by Eazy E
Before punk went crunk, Dynamite Hack took a bite out of rhyme with their cover of Eazy E’s “Boyz-N-The-Hood.” Eazy E was very influential in the late 80s and early 90s when he helped pioneer gangsta rap with N.W.A. cialis generic price “Boyz-N-The-Hood” encompasses everything about gangsta rap with the simple beat track, scratching, E’s …
Sara's Covers Revue, Vol.1 – The Bird and the Bee covers “Sara Smile” :: Originally by Hall & Oates
After years and years of getting this song dedicated and sung to me, it only now has an emotional affect on me. Thank you, Inara George. The Bird and the Bee performs the Hall & Oates original (their first Top 10 hit in the U.S.) on Morning Becomes Eclectic, a Santa Monica-based radio program on …

Bad Astronaut :: "Needle in the Hay" by Elliott Smith
Elliott Smith was known for his sweet, soft-spoken singing voice with a hint of raspiness and acoustic-driven indie rock. Unfortunately, Smith died in 2003 from a suspected suicide (the possibility of homicide was never thrown out) but his impressive catalog of work lives on. I discovered Smith much too late. It wasn’t until I heard …
Beyonce :: "At Last" by Etta James
Now I know this isn’t rock, but I decided to review it nonetheless. First off, I need to start listening to oldies more often. There’s just that certain magic missing from today’s music. With the release of Beyonce’s new movie “Cadillac Records” (and, let’s face it, the whoring out of her new album as well), …
