Unless you’re living under a rock somewhere you’ve no doubt heard the song “Somebody I Used To Know” by Gotye. Due to it’s fame a lot of covers have been surfacing on the YouTubes. This is one I spotted on Facebook, where Ingrid Michaelson posted it herself. I’ve liked Ingrid’s music since 2008, and this is just an illustration of why. Her voice is so sultry. I loves it.
Ingrid has a new album, Human Again, coming out January 24th. Find it on Amazon

I’ve written a couple concert reviews for the Audio Perv, and recently covered Deck the Hall Ball for them. 1077 the end’s winter concert festival has been going for 20 years now, and this one was stupendous:
Radio stations often put together disjointed lineups for such things as a holiday show like 107.7 The End’s Deck the Hall Ball. Because an alternative rock station like this plays so many bands from innumerable sub-genres, it can be difficult to find several acts that fit reasonably well together and can draw a large audience at the same time. In the 20th annual edition of the station’s winter festival, the end brought in some of alternative’s heaviest hitters. With Grammy nominated acts like Mumford & Sons and Death Cab For Cutie as headliners along with young up-and-comers Cage the Elephant, Foster the People, Young the Giant, Two Door Cinema Club and Grouplove lending support.
Because Deck the Hall Ball had so many bands this year, it was necessary to start rather early for a weekday. Grouplove took the stage at 4pm, and traffic kept me from getting to the venue on time to see their set. However, I had a chance to speak with the band later in the evening, and they noted that they’ll be back in Seattle with Young the Giant in April next year. I saw them in Salt Lake City earlier this year, and I can attest that they are a phenomenal live band. They plan to start work on their sophomore release this summer, after the tour with Young the Giant.
Read the whole review, with pictures, at the Audio Perv.

I’m not a huge fan of the MIB series, but they’ve been good movies. Not great, but worth watching. With that said, when I first started reading about MIB3 I thought it was going to be terrible. With this trailer I now think it will be another fun-to-watch movie. Will Smith is back, Tommy Lee Jones is back, and Josh Brolin is…back?
According to Paste Magazine:
In this third film, Agent J must go back to the 1960s to save Agent K from dying. Yup, through the Men in Black series, they’ve apparently had the power to time-travel.
In addition to the return of Smith, Jones, Rip Torn as Zed, and Barry Sonnenfeld as director, this newest installment will add Emma Thompson, Bill Hader, Michael Stuhlbarg and Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement. Men in Black 3 will also be the film’s first installment in 3D.
MIB3 will hit theaters on May 25.

Today, according to Some Kind of Awesome, Swedish group Miike Snow debuted a new song from their forthcoming sophomore release on BBC 1′s Zane Lowe. The video is a minimalist one, simply following a man running down a highway in what appears to be the American Southwest.
