Never thought you'd see a Seal song here in these pages, eh? Nor did I, but when Brooklyn's Yeasayer heads down under, specifically to Australia's Triple J show to crush a cover of Crazy, the results are fantastic. It's like getting a kiss from a rose. #immediatefacepalm for that innuendo.

Earlier today, a few of us in the EVR office found a few minutes of solace whilst listening to some quick hits from Band of Skulls. The London garage rock trio easily slides in and out of everything from power riffs to Radiohead-esque tones, but did you know they're also pretty adept at getting their electropop on?
Here, they cover Goldfrapp's Strict Machine, live on Australia's Triple J. BoS take the English duo's definitive sexy jam from boudoir to blissful.
Simply lovely.

This has been such a long week. Anyone else feeling the grind?
Thank the beastly heavens that it's Friday...don't know if I could have lasted one more workday in this hustle. What I can tolerate is the radness below. We ride!
Aussie entity, Triple J, chose their most loved artists. Do your faves make the cut? link
Arcade Fire's new album, The Suburbs, may be released with eight different covers. The Canadian group's third studio effort is due out on August 2. link
Fenech-Soler remixed Sunday Girl's cover of Laura Branigan's Self Control. It is both amazing and free for you to enjoy as well. Download it after I ramble on a bit more.
Read an interview with Big Boi. Love that dude so much. link
Today marks one year since the untimely passing of Michael Jackson. RIP forever.
