My friend showed me this on YouTube, and it has been all over the internet this past month. I've recently become addicted to this version of the song.
Thought this was really cool and the vocals are better than the original.
Here is the original song by Gotye:

SOPA
As many of you have heard now, 2 bills in Washington are being debated regarding piracy laws (downloading illegal music, movies, etc.). Internet companies like Google and Wikipedia took a stand and blocked out their pages to get people motivated to stop the bills from passing. Protesting has already helped, since certain pieces of the legislation have been deleted. For example, the government would have the ability to block certain domain names, but has since taken out that part of the bill. However, others like Time Warner are supporting Washington's proposed legislation. Get the full story at Journey 97.9 , and decide if the anti-piracy acts should pass in the House and Senate. If you are against the motion, contact your state representative to help win the fight against internet censorship!

There Will Be Blue Skies On The Horizon
This post if for my best friend who is going through some love troubles. This is a Noah and The Whale's "Blue Skies" off their 2009 The First Days of Spring album. I think singer Charlie Fink sounds very similar to Pete Yorn. Especially off this album, since the songs are mellow.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

The Best Brothers Band
It has been a fun and busy concert year for 2011, and I can’t wait to attend even more in 2012. Drive by Truckers, Big Gigantic, and Hang Out Festival are already on my agenda for the next coming months. While I’m excited to see the big-named bands, I enjoy checking out the local ones because of the intimacy of a smaller venue that doesn’t necessarily sacrifice sound quality. Before the holidays, I had a chance to check out some local talent at Atlanta’s Vinyl. On December 17th, the Best Brothers Band wanted to celebrate the upcoming Christmas season with an EP release party, with openers James Corbin and Cody Marlowe.
James Corbin was influenced by his three tours in Iraq and took up writing music again with an old country sound and quirky lyrics like “I’ll be right here with a cold beer when you want to say sorry to me.” Be sure to check out his band The Roamin’ Lonelies and latest set Baghdad to Bisbee for that down-home-simple-life kind of music. The next performance with Cody Marlowe brought a more alternative sound to the party. The show was spot on with Marlowe’s strong voice and creative lyrics. He has that slight Kings of Leon tone with his southern twang drawing out in rock and roll fashion. Marlowe played his just released single “Feel It” from album Eighty Nine, but I preferred the songs they performed like the one about a girl they call trouble and “Devil Eyes.”
The Best Brothers Band’s indie pop sound is similar to bands like Safetysuit, Gavin DeGraw, and Maroon 5. Singer John Best serenaded his audience with a boyish grin and controlled vocals that I expect to be popping up on the air waves soon. Truthfully, I could see all three acts making a name for themselves in popular music, especially with how comfortable they are performing. John and Daniel are a great duo as musical brothers, and after playing together for many years included guitarist Eric Sumner in on the act to create The Best Brothers Band. What I like about their music are the electrical guitar introductions, with lingering and somewhat complicated notes flowing in between lyrics. The band had a decent crowd with about a hundred people coming to listen and good friends coming out to dance and support them, making for an entertaining live music set. Their first song “Play With Fire” is a sure hit from the new CD. Guest bassist Adrian Lawrence, whom also helped produce their latest CD, added his own swift finger work to the performance with songs like “Listen to The Music.” Drummer Nick Lacis was the last to join the band, and provided his own flare to the act to coincide with the electric beats and keyboard additions (Daniel Best). John claimed they tend to stay away from covers, but couldn’t help playing a beautiful, sorrowful acoustic version of “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel.” The brothers took turns with lead vocals and instruments, and gave the audience a new song they finished that morning about moving on in life. The band played some of their older songs like fun-loving “Doesn’t Mean It’s Over,” and John really connected with the audience for song “Lovely Lady,” which he explains is “about a lady who can take your hear and sometimes your soul.” Daniel invited military “brother” James Corbin back up to the stage, whom he called an inspiration, to help sing. Even what seemed to be a third Best brother took to the bass to help play some more acoustic tunes showing that the Best family has produced a bevy of musical talent. At the end of the set, the boys weren’t quite ready to stop the party and decided to prolong the set past midnight to the delight of their fans. John stood on stage by himself to play a new song that had never been played before about someone struggling with alcohol addiction.The night was perfect for live music and getting the Christmas season in full season. All three performances had charm and original music, and The Best Brothers Band introduced some hit, new songs. Check out some of their music here, or like their Facebook page!
