Daytrotter Sessions always has some great performances to check out (Small Sins and Emma Pollack were there recently). Okkervil River were there a little while ago and did some covers of some really great songs but I don't feel they really did them justice. Still very much worth a listen but they don't come cloise to the beauty of John Phillip's original of "April Anne" and for "No Easy Way Down" I personally don't think anyone can touch Mark Eitzel's version. Here's the session, and as a bonus there's a cover that I think they nailed thrown in as well. (it's just like Simon Cowell always says, song choice is everything)
April Anne (John Phillips cover)
No Easy Way Down (Carole King cover)
Do What You Gotta Do (Jimmy Webb cover)
You Can't Hold The Hand Of A Rock And Roll Man
O Dana (Big Star Cover)

CAPABLE OF MORE
Like any other blog it's a lot of random stuff. Mostly music with some mp3s, some albums. Also throw in whatever else I may feel like. Hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears.
The goal is to have people discover some new music, movies or whatever and then go support them. Go see bands, buy their merch and spread the word.
