After another night dj-ing with Mike, some other random finds, and a lack of anything else has produced this list of music to give a listen to:

• Marcus Mumford and Justin Hayward-Young cover Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane.” Via PMA.
• Best-of-2013 lists are starting.  Pretty Much Amazing listed off their 13 best mixtapes of the year with Chicago’s Chance the Rapper at #1 and Action Bronson at #2.
• While I have been listening to more Rick Ross lately, I hadn’t this jam till Mike showed me: Ace Hood’s Bugatti.
• Also via Mike: if Miley and Robin Thicke’s VMA act was scandalous, how is no one upset about Lady Gaga and R Kelly’s SNL performance or AMA performance?

Via Pop Candy, seems like Julian could be ready for a second solo album with changes to his website and him playing Lollapaloozas in South America. Though the last time the Strokes played Lolla Chicago, they said it was for the money.

The other day Xrt played this version of Do Ya that was slightly different than what I remembered hearing. After some internet-ing, it seems that, to accompany a 2012 solo/cover album, Jeff Lynne released “Very Best of ELO“, an album of ELO re-recording their hits.  If you have heard all the songs too many times before, this album is good listen for some slight variations, with Do Ya as my favorite:

With all that research, I read that Do Ya was originally written by Lynne for a band called The Move. I never heard of that version or the band. And they are great, but if you give them a listen be prepared for some classic psychedelia, one characteristic being long songs (all the songs on their “Live at the Fillmore” range from 5-14 minutes long). Check out this sick jam:
