Playlists -- Girl's Names: Part 1

There's a reason it's a classic. And there's a reason this is a 2-part series... and that would be that I love Interpol and Malajube's music videos and could not choose between the two. Moving on... Whether it's love or the aftermath, every girl has a song with her name in it. She can only hope it's something along the lines of Mobius Band's "Hallie" and not Nerf Herder's "Annalee." Although they're both pretty catchy. Maybe she'll take the "streetwalker shoes" over nothing at all.

The Lineup:

1. "Hallie" by Mobius Band (Live)

2. "Ann Disaster" by Ben Kweller (Live - Solo, last.fm)

3. "Mary" by The Maccabees (Live)

4. "Vivian" by Nerf Herder (Live)

5. "Emily Kane" by Art Brut (Official)

Video. "Stella Was a Diver" by Interpol (Live)

Playlists -- Radiohead Covers: Part 1

I had originally planned something different for tonight, but instead, I've found myself unable to stop listening to this collection of covers. These Radiohead covers from some of my favorite artists were originally available as a free download on Stereogum. Then they lost the rights. BUT now, I find in my linky research that it's available for download once again! Here are some of the artist notes, and of course, the download. So, now it's streaming (among other places) on last.fm and I can bring it to you. These covers of Radiohead's OK Computer were collected on the tenth anniversary of the album's release. And boy are they awesome. So here we go with Part 1 of my 2-part playlist series of Radiohead covers. Enjoy!

The Lineup:

1. "Airbag" by Doveman (last.fm and Original Live)

2. "Paranoid Android" by Slaraffenland (last.fm and Original Jools Holland)
