Cover Me
Covers are really cool. I mostly am a gigantic fan of a great cover, or smash up.
However, certain things are untouchable - unless you are making a drastic change in the presentation/arragement/etc.
Don't just play your f-ing favorite songs. No body cares. Seriously.
A list of great covers:
Something Corporate - Everything, everything (dramarama)
Nada Surf - All you need is love (beatles)
Fall out boy/Gym Class Heros - Clothes off - a genius play on "we don't have to take our clothes off" by Jermaine Stewart. Also, the girlfriend song - uses the beat from Supertramp's "take a look at my girlfriend".
I could go on, but I am sleepy. :)

when the hills of los angeles are burning...
As I eat my dinner of saltine crackers with a swipe of skippy peanut butter (in bed no less, checking work email...), I am contemplating about this day.
Everything is burning down. I hate smoke with all that is inside of me, so to go to LA today was actually a nice treat to get away from the ashy cloud of soot that is covering the precious OC bubble.
When the fires of 2003 broke loose on SoCal, the SoCo album "North" came out. Now I think "Chase this Light" by JEW will always remind me of the fires of 07. Eek. How time flies....
I feel like I live every day as this jumbo, super long, extended day. Let me explain. By the end of the day I am thinking that things that occurred in the morning were actually the previous day. Because that is just how long the days feel. This is not necessary bad. Just so much in a work week is crammed into so few hours, and I am in so many locations that it is hard to really put a finger on time and space.
