Intense stuff.

Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker (?) going all solo and acoustic on the popular OutKast song, Hey Ya!

It’s weird to have the drumbeat towards the last 50 seconds of the song, but brilliant cover nonetheless. He almost made the song like his own, and I happen to like the original and this acoustic version is even better.

Updated an hour later: Another acoustic version of Hey Ya! by some Icelandic dude you couldn’t even pronounce his name. Get the song from The Sigur Ros Message Board.

It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had
The best thing you’ve had has gone away

A trip down memory lane. For some reason, I can not stop listening to this song (and the whole of The Bends album). It sorta fits the sombre state I am in. It’s amazing how a song can take your mind for a trip, even if it only lasted for 4 minutes. Multiply that with constant repetition and infused with the rest of the tracks from The Bends, you have a whole vacation in your mind. I’m going nuts.

Been listening to this song alot lately. A Pink Floyd classic, like I need to tell you. Covered by Sparklehorse some really long time ago, with Thom Yorke (of Radiohead, like I need to tell you again) on the mic, or phone. According to greenplastic, Thom Yorke sang his part on the telephone from his hotel room.

I’m sorry.
