You want to know where we've been for the last month? Well Matt's been fine... but it's my birthday coming up. I'm about to turn thirty one. For the last month I have been curled up in a ball weeping at the horrific speed at which my life is passing and staring into the half-empty cardboard box of trinkets and photographs that I have amassed in that time. I have done nothing worthwhile with my life... except perhaps this... a few weeks back me and a friend Interviewed Clayton Blizard.
This Life Affirming Clayton Blizzard Special Can be heard HERE wait no, oh crap...
I seem to have misplaced the the one thing I'd done right in my life. This is the Covers Special... Like god said to me in a dream last night, 'you'll just have to make do with mediocrity.'
Track Listings for The Awesome Covers Special...
In the hope of being more regular I'm going to do less descriptive work on these from now on... Unless I get a bunch of emails telling me to do otherwise.

'We are the World' by Richard Cheese (Originally by 'The World')
Richard pokes fun at well meaning celebs in his own inimitable style.
'Wuthering Heights' by China Drum (Originally by Kate Bush)
My old English teacher said that Wuthering Heights was a book about love and sex written by an eighteen year-old virgin. I think he was trying to inspire us.
'Life on Mars' by Seu Jorge (Originally by David Bowie)
At the risk of being laughed at by future generations I'm going to go ahead and stick my neck out as say that there isn't any life on Mars. I do however love the idea of life existing on Europa ice covered moon of Jupiter which may have a ocean beneath the ice that is 200 miles deep. Think about it.
'Buddy Holly' By Biffy Clyro (Originally by Weezer)
HERE is a link for the Moog Cookbook version
'My Boyfriends Back' Me first and the Gimmie Gimmies (Origianlly by The Angels)
This song was written by Feldman, Goldstein and Gottehrer.
'Misery Business' by Paramore and also by Sea of Treachery (Originally By Paramore)
The name Paramore is just the last name of the bassist in the band. Not as I first suspected a word meaning Warrior Priest. It's funny that Matts definition has some kind of weird sexual undertones... I worry about him I really do.
'Karma Police' Easy Start All Stars (Originally by Radiohead)
Who do I make a complaint to if I feel I have been a victim of Karma Police Brutality?
Some of.... 'Take me out' by Biffy Clyro (Originally by Franz Ferdinand)
then
None of... 'Easy' by Faith No More (Originally by Lional Richie)
and finally
'Common People' by William Shatner (Originally by Pulp)
I really don't know what happened there. But it happened. I hope we can all just get on with our lives.
Goodnight.

1: Pilot Episode: Naked Baby Photos
Here for your listening pleasure is the Pilot Episode
Track listings
'Sleeping In' by the Postal Service
Before that asshole OwlCity ripped off their style and sound with his mindless pile of bullcrap 'FireFlies', there was a band called the Postal Service. The main difference between the two is that The Postal Service came first, have talent and like to discuss big ideas. Their lyrics riff on the complex emotional nature of the human experience rather than just connect a bunch of words together that rhyme.
At no point do they receive hugs from bugs, or say goodbye to flies.
Click HERE for a more comprehensive slagging off of OwlCity. All of it deserved. My god it makes me angry.
'Joy, Discovery, Invention' by Biffy Clyro
Biffy Clyro (a kind of emolicious foo-fighters-esque soundtrack-to-intense-lovemaking type band) demand to be taken to your blackened skies. Who are you to argue with Biffy?
According to Matt, this is from their older stuff... which is better.
'Faliure' by Laura Marling
A truly amazing song from the truly amazing Laura Marling in which she dumps a guy for losing his poetic ethic and writing pathetic songs. Fair enough.
'Adderall' by The Holdsteady
The Holdsteady are a kind of drunken Irish American pub-party band, a kind of Soundtrack to the secret life of Jimmy McNulty of the Baltamore PD. Matt compares them to Bruce Springstein and says that their other music is more pretentious and intellectual than this one.
According to Wikipedia: 'Adderall is a brand-name psycho-stimulant medication composed of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which is thought to work by increasing the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.[1] Adderall is widely reported to increase alertness, libido, concentration and overall cognitive performance while decreasing user fatigue.'
'You're Gonna Die' by William Shatner, produced by Ben Folds...
Shatner confronts mortality in this haunting and thought provoking track. He may be talking to an individual, he may be talking to the human race as a whole. Listen to this song everyday, perhaps set it as your wake up alarm. You'll either get up and do everything on your to-do list, or you won't get up at all.
Sadly discussion between Matt and I drifts away from such lofty topics as life and death and drifts towards Shatner's historical quest to achieve a personal directed panspermia.
'Less Bright Eyes More Deicide' by the Wilhelm Scream
Fast Loud Music, picked by Matt. Apparently this particular song sounds more like the band, Deicide and less like the band Bright Eyes. It's a high energy, heavy guitar, man-singing masterpiece.
Here is a link to the Wilhelm Scream in action.
