Playlist of the Week – Cool People’s Lounge

(No, there’s not a real significance to this picture. I google image searched Curtis Mayfield and that came up and I was like “Oh, that looks niiiiice.”)

A few vacations back I invented the idea of the ‘Cool People’s Lounge,’ essentially, it was a way for me to isolate myself and read in peace. But throughout the years I’ve adapted it to an imaginary place that I’m like 1% cool enough to attend.

 And here’s how I know: When I’m listening to this play list every time I hear the Eric Hutchinson song I have a vivid image of people being very skeptical of his him based on his appearance, then he starts to sing and like a black church people start yelling things like “Boy can sing!”

So ya, these are the things I think about when I’m lying on my sixty dollar Futon from Target.

2. Sam Cooke – A Change is Gonna Come
3. Same Cooke – Bring It On Home To Me

Playlist of the Week – New Music For Old People

So, I might’ve been listening to a lot of Cee-Lo Green’s “The Lady Killer” this week. Which, btw, is an incredible album that I couldn’t reccomend more to literally anybody. Kind of that retro feel that has universal appeal. That rhyming was completely unintentional.

So that brings us to this week’s playlist of the Week: New Music for Old People. Music that’s been made int he past 10 years that’s got that old, motownish feeling to it. No lack of Cee Lo, that’s for sure. As always, the links below:

1. Raphael Saadiq -Heart Attack
2. Paolo Nutini - Rehab (Amy Winehouse Cover)
3. Janelle Monae - Tightrope
4. Jamie Lidell - Another Day
5. Jamie Lidell - Wait For Me
6. Gnarls Barkley - Run
7. Gnarls Barkley - Who’s Gonna Save My Soul
8. Estelle f/ Cee Lo Green - Pretty Please
9. Erich Hutchinson - OK, It’s All Right With Me
10. Duffy - Mercy
11. Cee Lo Green - Crybaby

Playlist of the Week – Favorite Not Extremely Popular Cover Songs

“Oh neat! 80 minutes, that’s how many minutes are on a blank cd-r.” – You

So the title explains it all: These are my favorite cover songs excluding the ones that are extremely well known. Cuz I’m a hipster, I guess? But not like a BIG hipster because these are all relatively known bands and songs. Or does that make me more of a hipster?

They’re kinda all across the board, and great for different reasons. For the most part theres a lot of pop-jokey titles in there, but they’re all performed pretty genuinely.

1. Wilco & My Morning Jacket – Dont’ Fear the Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult)
2. M. Ward – Let’s Dance (David Bowie)
3. Cee Lo Green – Radioactive (Kings of Leon)
4. Foo Fighters – Keep the Car Running (Arcade Fire)
5. Gaslight Anthem – I Do Not Hook Up (Kelly Clarkson)
6. Franz Ferdinand – Call Me (Blondie)
7. Discovery – I Want You Back (Jackson 5)
8. My Morning Jacket – Tyrone (Erykah Badu)
9. My Morning Jacket – Rocket Man (Elton John)
10. Whiskeytown – Dreams (Fleetwood Mac)
11. Ryan Adams – Wonderwall (Oasis)
12. Arctic Monkeys – You Know I’m No Good (Amy Winehouse)
13. MGMT – This Must Be The Place (Talking Heads)
14. The Kooks – Violet Hill (Coldplay)
15. Bon Iver – Your Love (Outfield)
16. Pearl Jam – I Got You (Split Enz)
17. Eddie Vedder w/ Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – The Waiting (Tom Petty & Heartbreakers) (this is definitely the best of the batch)
