Ted Leo – "Since U Been Gone / Maps" (2005)

2010/04/08


This cover by Ted Leo, from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, of the songs "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' song "Maps" mixed together was my first exposure to Ted Leo. I love this cover in part because "Since U Been Gone" is definitely not Ted Leo's usual kind of song and he is – all in – when he plays it. I later saw Ted Leo and the Pharmacists open for Death Cab for Cutie. The live show was awesome too despite not being the headliner. I have yet to get as excited about any of Ted Leo's albums, but I'm going to give it another try today. Ted Leo has earned it from me.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – "Pin" (2003)

2009/08/30


I had to share this one because I love the video for this song. There are very few lyrics to the song, but the video really conveys a full story. It is an excellent analogy between being stuck in a bad relationship and being part of an insect collection. Either way you're pinned.
