I totally stole this from TicketFlyAmy, but it's worth sharing.  I was skeptical at first, but ended up enjoying it:

John Legend and the Roots doing Arcade Fire's "Wake Up"

http://pitchfork.com/news/40192-watch-john-legendthe-roots-cover-arcade-fire/

The Roots and John Legend just came out with a vintage soul covers album named Wake Up! after the famous Arcade Fire song. But they don't cover Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" on the album. But they did play "Wake Up" when they hit NYC's Terminal 5 last week. Spike Lee was there to tape it as part of Vevo's "Unstaged" series, and you can watch it below:

Speaking of covers...

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets join the campaign to get John Cage's 4:33 to the Christmas Number One by doing a cover.

I'm anti-Brand right now until I get over the fact that he nabbed Katy Perry.  I hope there's a Deryck Whibley status in his future.

It only took ten years, but here's your new Rival Schools:

Walter told me it was coming and I called bullsh!t on him, but I'm happy to be wrong.

weren't you the one saying business men who own sports teams shouldn't expect to make profit, you communist?

(and no, you don't have to continue, it's essentially more of the same)
