So it seems I like french pop songs with limited english words. This gem caught my ears as French rugby team was listening to it poolside at the Monte Carlo:

Via Neil: Broken Bells were on Letterman the other day promoting their new album and celebrating the 50 years since the Beatles came to the US. Danger Mouse used the sampling skills that made the Grey Album happen to be “backed” (according to youtube title) by Ringo. Apparently, Flaming Lips with Sean Lennon, Lenny Kravitz (doing Get Back) and Sting (doing Drive My Car) will also perform Beatles hits on the show this week:

And apparently there is a 2 Hour GRAMMY tribute the occasion on the 9th.

As it will retell in the video, John Lennon wrote Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite was written after looking at an old Victorian poster. This crazy/awesome artist went to extreme lengths to recreate it and now you can own it for 245 pounds ($402 USD currently). Here is how he did it:

Via Retelly.

This may be only interesting to Kevin and Mike, but I thought I would put this up here regardless.
Was at the bar the other day and heard this sweet jam which sounded familiar like it was a cover. Magical smartphone technology told me it was John Legend’s Slow Dance. I realized the familiar part was the background vocals which are the same in Amy Winehouse’s He Can Only Hold Her. Just like Tears Dry On Their Own generously lifts from Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, I should have realized that she also lifted music in other songs. The magic of the internet led me to find The Icemen.
For those that saw the recent PBS Hendrix documentary, you might know that this Icemen song features a young Jimi Hendrix.  Which is an excuse to put a link to some awesome covers of his and also just to put this video to the song:

Been listening to Chance the Rapper’s mixtape Acid Raps which lead me to discover another Chicago rapper, Noname Gyspy. It’s nice to break away from raps that focus on guns, bitches and bling:

If you don’t want to break away from those elements, then how about the new A$AP Mob song with Method Man, Trillmatic.
