girls

from lower frequencies:
 "...we have a true rock album that reminds us of The Beatles (compare “Love Like a River” with Oh Darling), Deep Purple, Paul Simon and more. This is not something we are able to say everyday while listening to music."





yep. this is a "cool" song.

ghost train

another by typhoon. i think it's rad how they use vocals to make the sound of a train. and i love how it all  crescendos then decrescendos. so cool.

piano guys do rolling in the deep

SO ima do another week of covers. not rap covers this time. just random covers i like. lemme know if you're into this! 

i've always like classical-styled covers of pop songs. (it's the only way i'd listen to linkn park haha)

so this is a cool one of a favorite by adele - it was already an epic song, this makes it even more so (in my opinion)

RAD covers of RAP songs - “Hey Ya” (OutKast) – Obidiah Parker

okay, so hey ya isn't really a RAP song... but it's pretty cool how different sounding this one is. and how it totally works. so i'm counting it. and it's the last one of the week.  DID YA ENJOY RAD RAP COVERS? i did.

RAD covers of RAP songs - "Gin and Juice" (Snoop Dogg) -- The Gourds

be wary. no editing of foul snoop content here. but the way it's sung you almost don't hear it. it's weird.



***the MOST AMAZING comment on the youtube video:
when you listen to this you realize there's no difference between hillbillys and Gangsters
