Videos of the Day – week of 10/6

bonus video above is of Ryan Adams recently covering Bryan Adams in concert!  Maybe he’s not such a hater after all…the cover art resemblance is uncanny, no?  And how weird is it that Reckless turns 30 the same day Ryan & Bryan share a birthday??  I have a feeling that somehow, as much of a rock’n’roll savant as Ryan Adams is, he had this planned all along for 2014!?

10/6 – those goofy Chromeo guys are at it again…can you spot Haim’s cameo?

10/7 – well, I don’t really know what to say about this all-star updated version of “God Only Knows” the BBC commissioned…I’ll let the NME explain the who/what/when/where/why.  Looks like recent Corner Lounge guest Ethan Johns produced the track…guess I should’ve asked him about upcoming projects, huh?

10/8 – The Preatures have a new album out as of last week called Blue Planet Eyes.  Cool track here called “Somebody’s Talking”

10/9 – Happy Birthday to one of my all-time favorite artists, PJ Harvey!  Here’s a live version of a 1992 song performed 11 years ago…so cool!
