Today's Quick Mention: Tonight is a bit
slim on the show front, but that's not such a big
deal since Black Books, Residual Kid, La Snacks, and
Boy + Kite are all playing the Mohawk. Dan did
a rather nice preview of it yesterday. You can
read it

One of my favorite artists this year has been Oh
Land. Although, there is some strangeness
attached to my love for her. I think her self
titled debut is solid, but what I really like are
her cover choices. She's done Fleet Foxes
White Winter Hymnal in an overly fantastic way,
and now comes this equally good version of the
National's Bloodbuzz Ohio. Check it out
below. Enjoy.
:Oh
Land - Bloodbuzz Ohio (The National Cover): Hearing any National track without Matt Berninger's
booming voice is weird enough, so I greatly appreciate that
Oh Land doesn't attempt to shift Bloodbuzz Ohio into
some sort of crazy dance number. In fact, I recommend
that you listen to the original and this cover back to back,
as they make for an interesting set.
