Today's Quick Mention: Tonight I
recommend that you head down to the Parish and see
my friends Sorne and the Long Tangles. Both
acts have really early sets since they're opening
the show, so be sure to not dwell or you'll miss out
on some good stuff. Tix are $5.
Since I wouldn't call myself a fan (or even a slight
admirer, to be honest), Mayer Hawthorne is not a
name normally seen around these parts. Still,
at some point everyone gets some love, and his is
coming via a new EP that contains a very easy to dig
cover of Mr. Blue Sky. Hear it below.
Impressions is free and can be downloaded in
its entirety
here.
Enjoy.

Hawthorne - Mr Blue Sky (Electric Light Orchestra Cover):
Aside from sounding like an updated take on the song, this
is not wildly different than the original, which is probably
why it's an easy cover to appreciate. So what really makes
it worth remembering? The fact that it was "recorded
live, in one take, in a tiny makeshift tent, at a festival
in Dour, Belgium." That's just impressive.
