Gunbarrel | Emily Wells

This song is so haunting, but so so good. It's a track done by an artist/violinist named Emily Wells who composes, plays, and produces all her own music by recording and looping the sounds and vocals. Basically, she's a one-woman superband producing some badass beats.

the [short] summer series, pt I

Although Summer is almost coming to a close, the scorching sun and humid weather will just not let up. Kick back and cool yourselves off with a couple of breezy mint lemonade mojitos (you heard right) and let these tracks -- some old, some new, some classics, some Idontevenknowwhytherehere-- kindly remind of you just where your summer days went. Or help you fall asleep. Whichever comes first.

I love new songs, but I also love a really good cover of an already good song. Thus, I've compiled a small showing-- some of which are pretty decent and some that are just plain amazing. The list starts with 3 fun ones from Weezer, The Summer Set, and Pixie Lott; gets progressively more mellow with acoustics from Katy Perry, James Morrison, The Noisettes, Duffy & another from PL; and ends with a surprisingly good one by some chick from an MTV reality show. Ch-ch-ch-ch...CHECK EM OUT!
