"The Time of Times" Badly Drawn Boy
I'm still surprised at how many people have never heard this song. Now is the time (of times).

"All Men Are Pigs" Studio Killers
While I don't agree with this song's generalization, it is undeniably catchy.

"House" The Remainers
These guys have had limited exposure, but are more than worth a listen. This link goes to their bandcamp website. As usual, just press play.

"He Loves U Not" Dream
It's probably for the better that I forgot all about this song, but now that I've remembered I feel compelled to ruin your mental peace as well. :)

"Will You Be There" Michael Jackson
This song came on at the Phyrst when the sub-par band took a break. The crowd was at least 20 times more lively and excited to hear this jam than anything the live act played.

"When I Fall in Love" Julie London
I heard this on NPR the other night and had an incredible urge to slow dance.

"Bold as Love" Jimi Hendrix
Today is a reverse cover, celebrating the original recording of a song that is most commonly associated with John Mayer. Work it, Jimi.

"Wonderwall" Ryan Adams
I love the artistic liberties Ryan took with the melody on this Oasis staple.

"Werewolves of London" Adam Sandler
Who knew a Warren Zevon cover of this caliber could come from the same guy who sings about Hanukkah and the Lunch Lady?

"Kids" The Ooks of Hazzard
Hooray for another Cover Week! Let's get started with a folk cover of MGMT. The vocals aren't all stellar, but instrumentation is really quite cool.

"You Don't Know How It Feels" Tom Petty
The classic harmonica lick in this song popped into my head after breakfast. Great for a casual Saturday.

These boys rocked Clementine tonight. It helps when your bass players is Felix Pastorius.

"Rambling Man" Laura Marling
This album that I first saw on BT's Best Albums of 2010 has been a lasting favorite.

"County Fair" Mel Tormé
I do apologize for my regular use of 40s-50s music, but I just love it so. Today's the Demolition Derby at the Bedford County Fair, so I'm getting warmed up for the excitement.

"Stay With Me Baby" Terry Reid
So much passion in this track. Bonus: the verses and the choruses sound like two entirely different songs.

"Stranded in the Jungle" The Cadets
One of the most ridiculous songs I've ever heard. It's hard to believe I didn't hear it before yesterday.

"Drop to Hold You" Matt Nathanson
A few of the singles off of this recent album seem like departures from the Matt Nathanson I've loved on past albums. Fortunately, there are enough tracks, like this one, that hit just right.
